Vocabulary p. 7

Having a wide range of vocabulary is important 

because it helps you say what you mean clearly. 

It makes reading, writing, and speaking easier. 

When you know more words, you can understand 

texts and conversations better. 

It also helps you feel more confident when you 

talk to others and use the right words in 

different situations.
