Very important word in english

From ‘How to Read a Page’ by I.A. Richards

This list of important words was drawn up by British rhetorician I.A. Richards, author of several books including «Basic English and Its Uses» (1943). However, these 100 words are not a part of the simplified version of the language that he and C.K. Ogden called Basic English.

Also, we’re not talking about the 100 most frequently used words in English (a list that contains far more prepositions than nouns).

And unlike the 100 words chosen by David Crystal to tell «The Story of English,» Richards’ words are primarily significant for their meanings, not their etymologies.

Richards introduced his list of words in the book «How to Read a Page: A Course in Effective Reading» (1942), and he called them «the most important words» for two reasons:

  1. They cover the ideas we can least avoid using, those which are concerned in all that we do as thinking beings.
  2. They are words we are forced to use in explaining other words because it is in terms of the ideas they cover that the meanings of other words must be given.

Here are those 100 important words:

  1. Amount
  2. Argument
  3. Art
  4. Be
  5. Beautiful
  6. Belief
  7. Cause
  8. Certain

  97. Thought
  98. True
  99. Use
  100. Way
  101. Wise
  102. Word
  103. Work

All these words carry multiple meanings, and they can say quite different things to different readers. For that reason, Richards’ list could just as well have been labeled «The 100 Most Ambiguous Words:»

The very usefulness which gives them their importance explains their ambiguity. They are the servants of too many interests to keep to single, clearly defined jobs. Technical words in the sciences are like adzes, planes, gimlets, or razors. A word like «experience,» or «feeling,» or «true» is like a pocketknife. In good hands it will do most things—not very well. In general we will find that the more important a word is, and the more central and necessary its meanings are in our pictures of ourselves and the world, the more ambiguous and possibly deceiving the word will be.

In an earlier book, «The Making of Meaning» (1923), Richards (and co-author C.K. Ogden) had explored the fundamental notion that meaning doesn’t reside in words themselves. Rather, meaning is rhetorical: It’s fashioned out of both a verbal context (the words surrounding the words) and the experiences of the individual reader. No surprise, then, that miscommunication is often the result when the «important words» come into play.

It’s this idea of miscommunicating through language that led Richards to conclude that all of us are developing our reading skills all the time: «Whenever we use words in forming some judgment or decision, we are, in what may be a painfully sharp sense, ‘learning to read'» («How to Read a Page.»)

There are actually 103 words on Richards’ top-100 list. The bonus words, he said, are meant «to incite the reader to the task of cutting out those he sees no point in and adding any he pleases, and to discourage the notion that there is anything sacrosanct about a hundred, or any other number.»

Your List

So with those thoughts in mind, it’s now time to create a list of what you think are the most important words.

Из статьи вы узнаете, какой объем словарного запаса у носителей языка и тех, кто учит английский, а также, какие слова стоит выучить в первую очередь.

1 000 самых важных слов английского языка

Содержание:

  • 1. Человек
  • 2. Характеристики
  • 3. Время и числа
  • 4. Глаголы и образ жизни
  • 5. Еда
  • 6. Животные и природа
  • 7. События и места
  • 8. Дом

Словарный запас ― один из показателей уровня владения языком. Для того чтобы общаться на английском и понимать иностранцев, необязательно знать все 171 476 слова из Оксфордского словаря. Но тогда сколько?

На сайте testyourvocab.com вы можете пройти тест на определение словарного запаса с погрешностью в ±10%. Он состоит из двух этапов и занимает всего пять минут. Согласно его данным, взрослый носитель показывает результат от 20 000 до 35 000 слов, а те, кто изучает английский, набирают от 2 500 до 9 000 слов. Такие результаты включают в себя как активную, так и пассивную лексику.

Давайте узнаем, какие языковые возможности открывает тот или иной запас слов.

1 000 слов позволяют понять около 80% повседневных разговоров. Зная 1 000 слов, вы можете говорить на простые темы: завести знакомство, совершить покупки в путешествии и не растеряться в общественном транспорте.

3 000 слов позволяют понять уже около 95% большинства обычных текстов. Круг повседневных тем расширяется: вы можете более детально обсуждать бытовые и рабочие вопросы, понять общие идеи и концепции большинства статей, более свободно чувствовать себя за границей.

5 000 слов позволяют понять около 98% большинства обычных текстов. Ваш уровень достаточно высок, чтобы понять значение незнакомых слов из контекста. С таким запасом слов вы можете жить и работать в англоязычной среде. Однако вам может быть нелегко четко сформулировать свою мысль в рамках узкоспециализированных тем.

10 000 слов позволяют понять около 99% большинства текстов. Такого объема слов, как правило, достигают к уровню Proficiency. Это вершина изучения языка ― аналог словарного запаса выпускника колледжа. С таким количеством слов ваш уровень владения языком близок к уровню образованного носителя.

В процессе изучения языка большие цели эффективнее разбивать на несколько этапов, поэтому предлагаем начать с 1 000 английских слов. Мы взяли за основу 1 000 самых употребляемых английских слов, разбили их на категории и дополнили словами, важными для повседневного общения и путешествий.

Список слов включает восемь тем, каждая из которых разбита на подтемы:

  1. Person (человек)
  2. Characteristics (характеристики)
  3. Time and Numbers (время и числа)
  4. Verbs and Lifestyle (глаголы и образ жизни)
  5. Food (еда)
  6. Animals and Nature (животные и природа)
  7. Events and Places (события и места)
  8. Home (дом)

К словам даны:

  • американский вариант: colleague (AmE: co-worker)
  • форма множественного числа, если это слово-исключение: man (pl. men)
  • формы неправильных глаголов: speak (spoke – spoken)

О том, какие приемы использовать для быстрого запоминания слов и как приучить себя их использовать в речи, вы можете узнать из нашего бесплатного вебинара «Как учить английские слова».

A research has found that there are 570 words which form the basis of academic English. These words and their variations are the most important English words which have to be understood for a proper comprehension of academic English.

The Academic Word List, a list of 570 headwords, was published by the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand in 2000. The words in the Academic Word List came from a research based on academic texts from 28 different subject areas. These are the highest-frequency words in any academic text. In other words, they are the most common words in academic English.

In general, if you are reading or listening to academic topics (like the reading passages in IELTS or PTE tests), 10 percent of the words will be from this list.

That means, unless you know the meaning of the words in the list, you would not be able to understand one out of every ten words in academic English.

Alternately, you should learn to use these around 500 most important English words in your own writing or speaking to boost your vocabulary score.

In the Academic World List, the 570 most important English words have been divided into 10 sublists according to frequency of use.

The words below a headword are derivatives of that word.

Words in italics are the most common words in any word family.

ENGLISH VOCABULARY IMPORTANT WRDS

If you want to improve your English vocabulary, there are some important words you should learn. These words are common in everyday conversation, and they will help you communicate better. Here are five English vocabulary words you should know.

Having a strong English vocabulary is important for success in school and in the workplace. There are many ways to improve your vocabulary, but one of the most effective is to learn new words. Here are 10 English vocabulary words that are particularly important for achieving success:

1) Ambition – Having ambition means having a strong desire to achieve something. Without ambition, it’s difficult to set goals and achieve them.

2) Determination – Determination is key to achieving any goal. If you’re determined, you’ll find a way to overcome any obstacle.

3) Persistence – Like determination, persistence is also essential for achieving success. If you give up easily, you’ll never reach your goals.

4) Focus – It’s important to stay focused on your goals. This means avoiding distractions and staying on track.
