If you understand the meanings of many words, you can be said to have a "good vocabulary." Words are the basis of thought. We think with words, we understand words, and we communicate with words.

A large vocabulary is a significant asset. It allows us to use precise words that say exactly what we intend. In addition, we understand more effectively what we hear and read. A large vocabulary also enables us to score well on employment and intelligence tests. Lewis M. Terman, who developed the Stanford-Binet IQ tests, believed that vocabulary is the best single indicator of intelligence.

In the business world, where precise communication is extremely important, surveys show a definite correlation between vocabulary size and job performance. Skilled workers, in the majority of cases, have larger vocabularies than unskilled workers. Supervisors usually know the meanings of more words than the workers they direct, and executives generally have larger vocabularies than employees working for them.  

Having a good vocabulary at our command doesn't necessarily ensure our success in life, but it certainly gives us an advantage. Improving your vocabulary will help you expand your options in an increasingly complex world.  

Vocabulary can be acquired in three ways: accidentally, incidentally, and intentionally. Setting out intentionally to expand your word power is, of course, the most efficient vocabulary-building method.  In addition, with all of the technology and tools at our disposal, such as the Internet, Siri, Wikipedia, Dictionary.com, it is easy to look up and expand our vocabulary daily.

Why might it be of value to intentionally expand your vocabulary? Explain.

Read the text and in group of two to five students answer the questions

As a new member of the board of directors for a local bank, Mr. Jack Nelson was being introduced to all the employees in the home office (Headquarters of a firm).

When he was introduced to Mrs. Johnson, he was curious about her work and asked her what the machine she was using did. Mrs. Johnson replied that she really did not know what the machine was called or what it did. She explained that she had been working there for two months and she has not received a clear list describing her tasks, duties and responsibilities yet.

At one of the branch offices, the supervisor in charge spoke to Nelson confidentially, telling him that "something was wrong," but she didn't know what. For one thing, she explained, employee turnover was too high, and no sooner had one employee been put on the job than another one resigned.

All branch supervisors hired their own employees without communication with the home office (Headquarters of a firm) or other branches. In case of job vacancy, the supervisor tried to find a suitable employee to replace the worker who had quit.

After touring the 22 branches and finding similar problems in many of them, Nelson wondered what the home office should do or what action he should take. The banking firm generally was regarded as being a well-run institution that had grown from 27 to 191 employees during the past 8 years. The more he thought about the matter, the more puzzled Nelson became.

He couldn't quite put his finger on the problem, and he didn't know whether to report his findings to the president.
