  2. You will be responsible for creating your own collection of words that they hear or read and want to remember. You must believe you will make use of the word in order to add to your collection.

Vivacious, strenuous, amplify, chromosome • Third- ridiculous words you would rarely use in life. Eg. Philatelist (collector of stamps), numismatist (collector of coins), lepidopterist (collector of butterflies)
