Read with a dictionary to look up unfamiliar... - Deepstash

  • Read with a dictionary to look up unfamiliar words and try to use them to fix them in memory. 
  • Study the origins of words, which are often interesting histories rather than dull facts. 
  • Avoid cliches and worn-out phrases, instead using precise language. Refer to a thesaurus often to improve word choice.
  • Strive for fresh comparisons rather than tired ones. Have the courage to be distinctive rather than relying on trite phrases.
  • Articulate clearly without mumbling, speaking too fast or slow, mispronouncing, or speaking in a monotone.
