You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby. At first, you learned them only by hearing other people talk. Now that you're a reader, you have another way to learn words. What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means? (1)
Say it
First, sound it out.Then say it to yourself. (2) .Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print. So if you match up what you know and what you read ﹣ you have the word!
Use context
If this doesn't work, take the next step: look at the context ﹣ the other words and sentences around it.Read this sentence:When it rained,the dog looked for shelter in the doorway.(3) Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information.
(4)
If the context doesn't help, look at the parts of the word. Does it have any parts you know?These can help you understand what it means. If you don't know the meaning of miner, try looking at parts of the word. You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things. A lot of times, ﹣er at the end of a word means"a person who does something".So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.
Look it up
If the three steps above don't work, you can look it up. (5) ﹣either a book or online.
Nobody knows the meaning of every word, but good readers know how to understand words they don't know.

B. Look at the words

And it's becoming more popular than ever, spreading into new aspects of life from offline payments to receiving newsfeeds.
The survey also found a larger number of newly﹣added connects(联系) of WeChat users are casual acquaintances(泛好友), especially in work﹣related communication. Such a developing situation is turning the app into a virtual(虚拟的) workplace. Over 80% of users have handled(接触过) office work on WeChat, from transferring documents and coordinating(协调) tasks to taking video calls and doing business.

These rude behaviors have caught the public's attention. In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai, according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road.

To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems, noted CRI Online.
