From The Author's

Hello and greetings! I feel privileged putting before you the theme of the book. Utmost care had been taken while creating this piece of work VocBuilder: Not A Dictionary But A New Dimension To Build Your English Vocabulary so that it could be used in a most efficient way by the readers. The whole piece had taken more than five years to get completed in this present format. At the initial phase, I had to rework all over again after completing almost a year as because it was not giving me the complete satisfaction. It was a bit different than I was assuming for it. It took a long time (almost 6 years and 18 hours a day in average and almost no holidays in between). It sounds unrealistic. But it is the fact. But finally, it is ready to be served before you. I am asked many times about the practical use of VocBuilder. Let me put this in the following way. First of all, VocBuilder is neither a dictionary nor its substitute. Even though one can use it for the reference of meanings in a very limited manner, but please be clear with this fact that it is not a dictionary in any way. It is a text book or a tool book to enhance your stock of English vocabulary. In todays scenario, we just cant ignore the importance of English language in our day to day communication. No one asks you first how much you know about your own subject. You are judged at first sight by your level of communication especially in English. If you are good in expressing yourself and understanding others in English, you are considered smart. I dare to say that English is your modernity, your personality, your smartness. It adds an extra edge to your real value. To learn English we have been adopting the following ways: We learn core i.e. English Grammar. We have been learning this in our schools. Also in spoken English classes, many of us learn the same in a month or two. What about the vocabulary of English? We are left alone. We are expected to learn the same by our own experience. To build our English Vocabularies we have been doing the following activities: We read the literary works like story books, novels, newspapers, magazines etc. and search and note down the words those we are not aware of or not knowing about. We search their meanings from a dictionary and finally we try to learn them by heart putting loads of our effort.  This mode of learning of English vocabulary has certain limitations. It is very time consuming. It is very laborious and boring. The words searched out from the various sources are neither related nor categorically organized. And, therefore these are hard to be registered in our memory. So, 80% of us dont even try and if some of us try, they have to put a lot of, really lot of effort in it. The fruit of the hard work is not up to the expectation. So, a specific book of vocabulary, aiming to be enabling to learn the same in one of the easiest ways possible, has been felt very needful that could act as a textbook or a tool book. We have number of books on vocabulary also. Some of those are really good. But this VocBuilder is completely different from them and if used carefully, it can really be very-very helpful for the same purpose. VocBuilder: Not A Dictionary A New Dimension To Build Your English Vocabulary is such a text book or tool book to learn the same in one of the easiest ways possible. In this book, the different words have been arranged in a specific and categorical way and the leading words have been named as the key words. The keywords have been arranged categorically in the alphabetical order so that the desired keywords can be reached out in the easiest way. Only the related words with the keywords have been arranged in the group. So if you concentrate on a keyword, your mind suddenly starts finding out the general and common sense of meaning of those related words and in the second step, your mind starts working in finding out the differences of meanings of those categorically related words. And, finally your mind starts registering all the related words of that group. The meanings of the related words have been presented in such a way that the difference in their meanings easily comes out (even though they are related, they are different). The language to express the difference of meanings is so easy that even a student of middle school can recognize the difference. The other forms of the parts of speech of the key words (if they exist), have also been presented at the last of the group (in italics) so that these words can be learnt very easily without putting any extra effort. It can be noted that the usage of the words in a sentence have not been included along with the meanings. There has been a very specific and scientific reason for it. If the sentence usage is provided, our mind tends to think that way only i.e. our mind stops thinking the wide possibilities of the usage of the same word in different possible situations. In this case, it doesnt think the different possibilities or situations where these words could have been used and it affects the registration process in our memory of our mind. So, by not including the example sentence, it has been attempted to make you think the different possibilities of the situations yourself only. In this way your memory will register the different words and their different meanings very smoothly even without making you aware of it. This book has a modular design and therefore it can be started from anywhere. You can start from any page and with any paragraph. You just dont need to read the whole page. You need to read just a small paragraph. Even if a keyword has a long (or very long paragraph), the same has been subcategorized in small paragraphs. These paragraphs have been separated with || and so finally a small paragraph only. In any case, the groups of related words have been categorized in small-small paragraphs. You just need to devout your 5-7 minutes in a day to learn 10-12 words a day (i.e. one paragraph at one sitting) if you want to build your vocabulary. Within a few days your oral and written expression of your communication would be upgraded in a magical way. If done with a plan, this VocBuilder will make you outsmart in a crowd in a few months of time. This book is for all age groups and all categories (schools, colleges, universities, competitions, working, non working, general etc). Condition is that they have to be associated with English communication. All day to day usage of English Vocabulary, excepting the technical jargons have been incorporated here. So overall, the combination of words in the groups, have a wonderful effect to register the same in our memory. Therefore it is said that this is a text book or a tool book to develop your English vocabulary in one of the easiest ways possible. If you are planning to purchase it, you dont buy it. You invest in it because your expense in purchasing VocBuilder, would turn into an investment for your whole life. Not only this, the piece can be transferred from your generation to your next like some valuable and rare books get transferred. As because, the usage of this book will never be outmoded until the English language will remain in our communication. Thanking and wishing you a very-very good luck!
