language. Therefore, English is taught from elementary school level
until university. Nowadays, English language is very important in our
life. It is used in formal or non formal language. For example in formal

ability in English. The first step for every learner is to master
vocabulary. Mastering vocabulary means practicing the third elements
itself. For example, if someone wants to explain how to say something,
of course they have to master vocabulary, the more vocabulary the people
have the more they can do whether in speaking, reading, writing and
listening.
