*Introduction
You right now might be wondering why just reading
lazily like what you are doing at this very moment,
without taking any notes, can help you remember all the
fancy academic vocabulary. Is that even possible?
My answer is YES, YES, YES. And I'm not just saying
that. The way it works is extremely simple, yet, not a lot
of folks know about and even if they do, not many of
them will make use of it. I am going to explain to you in
later section of the book. But for now, just keep in mind
that this book WILL make a big change in your life.
Don't tell me you only need English to pass the bullshit
IELTS exam that you will have to pay a fortune for the
fees and not to mention you don't necessarily enjoy
the experience it gives you. You will need English for
the rest of your life, hands down. Until you die. Let's be
honest, 10 years ago, no English was okay. Now, if you
don't speak and write in English properly and
professionally, you will never get ahead of the game. So,
you might notice I mark some words or phrases as RED,
good question, they are words that are informal. You
should NOT use them in formal writing like IELTS.
But feel free to use them in daily conversation or
informal writing. They are very very common. But wait,
isn't this book supposed to be for Academic vocabulary
learning purpose? Oh yeah, I'm glad you mention that. It
IS for academic vocab learning. Just wanna chill a little
bit as this is just a preface section. I'm gonna get more
serious later on and it will, in fact, turn you on as you
will learn big time. So the question is... Are you ready?
Ok dumb question. I know you are 100% ready. LOL.
Let's jump right into it.
