Types of Clothes in English
When we are learning English, it is extremely important that we always look for ways to expand our knowledge and seek to know different types of vocabulary. This gives us more security regarding the language and guarantees us more possibilities not only for knowledge but also for communication.
Among the ways to expand vocabulary we have: 1) read a lot, 2) use chats and chat apps, 3) watch movies and series, 4) listen to music, 5) watch videos, among several other activities.
In addition, you can also follow the contents here on the TopWay English School blog, where you will find several contents produced especially to facilitate your English learning process, many of which are linked to the vocabulary of the English language.
