The tendency to use &#8216;safe words&#8217; such as nice\/good\/bad\/cool results to the lack of oomph in their writing. When I started teaching in 2001, I&#8217;ve encountered such issue with students as they tend to struggle with using the correct expressions in their composition. So, I&#8217;ve come up with &#8216;VOCAB VITAMIN&#8217; programme where the main objective is to enrich the students&#8217; vocabulary via posters, songs and other computer-mediated learning tools. Personally, the secret of acquiring good vocabulary is non other than reading. Be it newspaper, magazines, comics, journals, online forums or E-books, teachers should fully utilise reading materials (linear\/non-linear) to facilitate vocabulary enrichment.  I&#8217;d like to share this poster which illustrates various words to describe various situations. The secret behind well-written essays is using vivid descriptive words that would encapsulate the right description that one desires. Click the photo for clearer resolution.
