01
读小说准没错
旧调重弹有事理,浏览是修建辞汇量的得力帮忙——reading builds your vocabulary。 读小说多的人表示特别抢眼,爱读小说的30岁人群辞汇量中位数超30000。
For native vocabulary growth, while increasing your reading matters, increasing your reading of fiction, specifically, matters equally as much. 从母语者的辞汇增加来看,浏览固然是很首要的,不外详细来讲,读小说也一样首要。

母语者的辞汇量增加趋向15岁就根基定型了
成人母语者的辞汇量根基是由其4-15岁的浏览习气决议的。 Native adult vocabulary size appears to be principally determined by reading habits between ages 4 and 15.
Academic performance helps, up to doubling your vocabulary size. Classroom participation matters too, but it's not the top factor. It appears to give you up to a 50% boost in vocabulary. Outside of class is the biggest difference. Students who do "lots" of things in English outside of class have more than twice the vocabulary of those who "don't do much."
