Vocabulary Part 1
Every competitive exams we become puzzled
because there we find so many words mostly which are unknown to us. If you observe
the question papers then you will find that the questions come from mainly
synonyms, antonyms and word meanings which are mostly vocabulary based. If we
think about the sentence completion then there we also find difficulty because
of lacking in vocabulary knowledge. So it will be very considerate decision for
us if we become able to be friend with vocabulary. So, for this friendship vocabulary
will not come to us, because he is very moody and introvert, we have to go to
vocabulary and have to ask for his kind friendship. So, be loyal to the friendship
of vocabulary and meet with him regularly, otherwise, he will be upset and will
leave you. Then it will be very difficult for you to deal with him again. You
have to get the friendship of Vocabulary for your own interest because you need
to be a smart student, you need an admission in a well-known public university
and at last you need a good job passing the competitive tests. So keep in your
mind always that you need the help of the vocabulary, Vocabulary does not need
the help of you. Here I have tried my best to make your relation with the
vocabulary. I have worked as a medium. Now it is your duty to contact with this
valuable friend vocabulary.
Though at first he will seem to you very strange
and odd but letter this vocabulary will be best friend of your life if you want
to get success in competitive exams like University Admission Test, Bank Job
Test, BCS Exams or other Competitive Exams in Bangladesh or in the whole world.
I am giving you a list of synonyms, antonyms and keywords which we often get in
our competitive exams’ question papers. I am giving those part by part from the
most important to the least. Practise those again and again. Let your dream
come true. Best of Luck J
