The Vocabulary Notebook 	A vocabulary notebook is a collection of words chosen by you. Therefore, the complexity of the individual words will be different for each student. A vocabulary notebook is an ideal way to expand your vocabulary or to gain a better understanding of the usage of certain words.
The vocabulary notebook can consist of several different items and can be made more complex or simpler to fit your individual needs. If you want to increase and improve your knowledge of vocabulary then create a digital or written vocabulary notebook for yourself.
A high levelled and academic vocabulary notebook might contain the following items:   	- notable academic English words  	- their translation in your native language 	- a description in English 	- example sentences (vocabulary in context) 	- collocations 	- synonyms 	- type of word 	- word families 	- antonyms  	- the source (where did you find the word?)
One of the best ways to keep a vocabulary notebook is to record new words you come across while reading any text in English.
	Imagine that while reading a newspaper article online, you come across the following sentence: “… Because of a declining market, the company will be forced to make at least 10% of its staff redundant…” 	If you didn’t know the word “redundant”, you should record it in your vocabulary notebook, to make it easier to use that word yourself.
Here is an example of what an elaborate entry in a vocabulary notebook might look like: Word: redundant Type: adjective Source: article in online newspaper    Definitions:	1) out of a job 			2) not necessary because someone else 		    does the same thing 	         (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary 			English)  
Translation: NL – overbodig   Example sentence: “ When editing, remove redundant information from your text”   Synonyms: superfluous, unnecessary, surplus   Collocations: make someone redundant, announce redundancies, become redundant, redundant word   Word family: redundancy (noun) Antonym: employed
