28、t and most effective ways to improve your vocabulary is by learning to recognize the most common Latin and Greek roots, since any one of them can help you define a number of English words. Whenever you come upon an unfamiliar word, first check to see if it has a recognizable root. If you know that t

Even ff you cannot define a word exactly, recognizing the root will still give you a general idea of the words meaning. Remembering that the Greek root “

30、geo“ means earth would certainly help you define “geophysics“ as the physics of the earth, but it also might help you figure out that “geocentric“ has to do with the center of the earth or with the earth as a center.

34、d at many different prices, from one cent to many dollars. If you are not sure how much postage is for your letters, you can ask the clerk(职员 ). He or she will give you the stamps you need. If you are sending your letters far away, write on the envelope that you want them to go by air or use an air-

35、mail envelope. Remember that postage will be more expensive for a letter you want to send overseas. At a post office you can also buy postcards. A postcard is cheaper than a letter.
