Introduction

And this is why readers of this book will encounter these recurrent words throughout the entire book: connotation, implication, interpretation and context. While defi nitions of the vocabulary words I have chosen to include in this book are still provided, what I wish to emphasize is the actual use of these words in realistic situations, a task that goes much beyond knowing their defi nitions. Therefore, there is an abundance of examples; each is built upon a scenario. These scenarios, some simple and some elaborate, aim to create a sense of reality which helps add dimensions (or even some fun) to students’ vocabulary learning process.
