【明報專訊】Do you know the names of the things you see in your daily life? Would you like to learn more about types of furniture? Learning vocabulary could be tedious, especially when it comes along with exam drilling. However, there are many interesting and effective ways to increase your vocabulary.

The method of memorising words is called a mnemonic device (記憶術). A visual mnemonic (圖像記憶法) consolidates memories over the long haul by associating words with images. Big Book of English Words has around a thousand everyday words matched with colourful illustrations, and may serve as a helpful companion to your English learning journey.

■English highway﹕over the long haul

It means "over a long period of time".

e.g. He has been practising for the marathon over the long haul.
