at the link http://www.ehow.com/, where you can find the answers of many "how to" questions

the follows are good things which can be useful to improve your vocabulary
---
1. Read books, magazines, poems, plays, stories and more. The more language you're exposed to, the more new words you'll learn.

2. Make it a habit to find a new word every day. Look in the dictionary, sign up for "A Word a Day" (see dictionary.com) or make swapping new words a game with a workmate or fellow student.

3. Speak to people. You'll be exposed to an amazing range of cultural influences and occupations, all of which will introduce you to new words.

4. Write down words you don't know. Keep a pad in your briefcase or purse just for that purpose.

5. Look up the words in a dictionary so you'll understand what they mean, how they're spelled and their various usages. This will also help you remember the words.

6. Make flashcards of the words (là một tấm card ghi từ và các minh họa về từ trên đó) and go through them regularly.

7. Create or play word games. Scrabble and Mad Libs, for example, are great ways to reinforce (củng cố) new vocabulary words.

i should explain "what a flashcard is"

Flashcard is ...a card that we write on 2 side of it with the purpose of memorization. I write a question on the front side, and write the correlative (tương ứng) answer on the back.

Flashcard is not only in the text form but also pictures, sound (in the flashcard software) etc...

Now, we can find out flashcard softwares by using google (http://www.google.com.vn) or altavista (http://www.altavista.com) search engine.

This method was proposed (đề xuất) by the German psychologist (nhà tâm lí học) Sebastian Leitner in the 1970s.
