There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously. I don’t mean while you’re unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.

That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world, mother tongue. I just pick them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.

The 5 % mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words, as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without knowing that we got them wrong.

Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across,” they will say. “You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context.”

This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.

And what’s more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.

Don’t guess! Look it up!

     The A-level question Have 22 continuous years of rises in A-level pass rate made the exam worthless? David Miliband, the minister for School Standards, insists the answer is a firm "no". And he said it was

wrong that "more will mean worse and more education for more people will mean lower standards".

Figures show that - despite the rise in A-grades to 21. 6 per cent - only 22,000 out of 600,000

18-year-olds gain three A-grade passes. Put another way, that means - in a primary class of 30 pupils -

only one will get three A-grades. The center right Bow Group, in a pamphlet published today, however,

says nine out of ten scholars believe A-grades have been devalued over the past ten years

     Two inquiries (调查) - both set up by the Government's exams watchdogs - one of which included

independent teaching experts, refused to accept that there had been any "dumping down" of A-level

standards. But while they conclude that the exam questions have not become easier, changes in examining methods have almost certainly made it easier to gain top-grade passes.

     As a result of the exams shake-up introduced in 2000, students sit six different types of exams to make up an A-level during the course of their two years of study. Only 20 per cent of the marks are set for the

end-of-term exam. This makes it easier for teachers to help their pupils with the right answers.

     Mr Miliband said yesterday, "My argument is not that today's generation of pupils are cleverer than

their parents; it is that schools and teachers are getting better at getting the best out of them."
