Linguists McCarthy said:"No matter how well a person learns grammar, no matter how beautiful his speech is, but if he has not enough words to express his feelings or understand other person's views and ideas, he cannot use the language to communicate with others. Similarly, for the English language, after the grasp of basic phonetics and grammar knowledge, a person's English language level mainly depends on his vocabulary.
