Learn some common English expressions to show that you are really happy and excited about something!
“I’m thrilled”
“I have to pinch myself” (about dreams, positive)
"Over the moon" (really happy / delighted)

Learn and remember vocabulary
source: Crown Academy of English 2017年8月8日
Here are some tips, tricks and advice to learn and remember vocabulary.
Learn new words by theme
A long list of random, unrelated words is difficult for the brain to process. It is better to learn words from the same subject or topic.
Learn related words and phrases
When you learn a new word, find all the derived, related words, synonyms and phrases and learn them too.
Review and revise words you have already learned
When you learn a new word, it starts in our short-term memory. To memorise / memorize it properly, you must continue to revise the word to transfer it to your long-term memory.
In the days and weeks after learning new words:
- Read your notes again.
- Say and write the words again.
- Read some material in which the words appear.
- Do some more exercises.
A good English course will have regular vocabulary reviews. If you do not review words, you will forget them after a few days.
Reading is important to memorize vocabulary because you will see new words in different contexts. The context helps you understand the meaning. The context also helps you recall and remember. A story or article is more interesting than a list of words. We have a specific goal. It's interesting.
Reading is important but it is not enough to properly memorise new words. You are passive while reading. You need to be active.
Write new words in a notebook with their derivatives, synonyms and phrases. Write down example sentences for each new word. Writing uses motor memory and this helps with recall.
Say / speak the new words and example sentences out loud. If possible do this with another student. Ask the other student a question. Say the new words and phrases in your
Make flashcards
A flashcard is a card to learn a new word. The new word is on one side of the card. The definition and/or picture is on the other side.
Make the flashcards yourself. Don’t use cards made by someone else.
There are lots of activities you can do with flashcards:
- Memory games
- Sort them into themes
- Combine several cards to make sentences
Apps, games and software are an excellent way to learn new words.

TRANSCRIPT
Narrator: Welcome back to the offices of Tip Top Trading where there's a bit of confusion. Anna…
Anna: Yes?
Narrator: I think Tom's got the wrong end of the stick.
Anna: But I didn't give him a stick.
Narrator: No, no. I think there's been a misunderstanding. When you said your answer was 'yes' he thought you meant 'yes, I'll marry you'!
Anna: Oh no! I meant yes to the promotion. Gosh I've got to sort this out. Tom, Tom, hold on please.
Tom: We can't hang about Anna. Let's fix a date, invite everyone – even Paul.
Anna: No, no, we can't.
Tom: You're right, not Paul – he just talks about biscuits.
Anna: No. I mean 'no', we can't get married. I meant yes to the promotion. I can't marry you.
Tom: What? So when you said 'yes' you meant 'no'?
Anna: Yes.
Tom: I see. Right, that's it. Anna, I've made it very clear what I think about you and you… you… just throw it back in my face. I've had enough… enough of you… enough of this company. I quit!
Narrator: Anna. I think he's upset. He's having a tantrum.
Anna: A tantrum – is that serious?
Narrator: Not really. Maybe you need to calm him down and make him change his mind. Tell him 'not to be too hasty', 'don't rush into a decision' and say 'we can work this out' – you can can't you?
Anna: I think I can. Tom, please, don't be too hasty. Let's talk about this. We can work something out, just don't rush into making a decision – please. You're my best – my only – sales executive.
Tom: Sorry Anna – I'm a free spirit. I must go where the wind takes me. You've had your chance, now it’s mine. I’m off.
Narrator: Wow, I've never seen Tom be such a… man. Will this be the last time we ever see him?
Here are some of the phrases Anna used to try and get Tom not to leave:
Don't be too hasty
Don't rush into making a decision
We can work this out
Tom: …erm, sorry, I just forgot to take my special mug. Bye.
