English people do not know every word.
✏️# Grow up and know thatEnglish talent doesn't know every word.
Many people used to believe that
A good person in English must know a lot of words.
Must recite a thousand words
Must translate every word in the sentence
To be called "really good."
But when we grow up and start using real English,
Whether it's reading articles, taking tests,
Or even listening to native speakers.
We'll start to notice something...
👉 No one knows every word in the world.
Even very good people always come across unknown words.
💡 A good English man, what does he do when he finds an unknown word?
He's gonna...
✔ See Context around the word.
What the sentence is talking about.
✔ Guess the Function of Words (Parts of Speech)
That it is noun / verb / adjective.
✔ linked to the word know.
To "approximate meaning."
✔ Keep reading without stumbling.
Even without understanding 100%.
✨ A simple example.
Suppose in a sentence there is 1 word we do not know.
If we understand
• The sentence is recounting past events.
• This word is in the position of the verb.
• Context speaks of "failure."
We can "guess roughly."
Without knowing the exact meaning.
📚 How should we learn?
Instead of focusing on just "reciting."
Try turning it into
• Practice reading and "capture the mind."
• Practice guessing meaning from context.
• Understand sentence structure (Grammar)
• Do real exams often
Because these things are
Practical skills
