English Vocabulary For Writing....

One of the main reasons students find it hard to write a good essay is because of their poor vocabulary. Many do not have a wide range of vocabulary with them and this has been a stumbling block for them to get good grades for their essays. Having a wide range of words or a vocabulary list is a  boon for all those who aspire to write good essays in their public school exams, be it local or foreign students. One of the best ways is to read. Reading good novels, magazine articles, articles or news in the local dailies or story books can help  improve your word power.
