   The word roots are quite important to all the people who want to learn english well.  No one can remember all the vocabularies in the world. Anyway, that is strenuous. So, guess the meaning of a
word is what you and I have to learn.  The word roots can help us a lot.
In almost all the tests, there was so many strange words presenting
in front of me. What I can do is adjust my mood and conjecture them
step by step. For example: "vert" and "vers" from Latin, means "to turn".
You can convert your defeat into victory, if you can convert somebody
to your opinion. Today, I just copy the list of some common word roots.
      Wish them can help you.
