Through learning synonyms, our vocabulary will improve and our word choice will also become richer. Besides, this also helps us better understand the language we learn, specifically how to use words. The synonym itself is born from the etymology in a different form.
That's also how a new word is created. Synonyms are an essential part of the English language that we could not live without, in writing or speaking. They are the most powerful type of descriptive tool, making them an important part of both prose and poetry alike. Synonyms provide freedom for word choice and allow authors to choose words with the right connotation to fit their style and serve their purpose.
This is a small project, which aiming to clarify the important role of synonyms as well as its contributions to the learning and using of a language, specifically English. In addition, the study will also provide guidance on how to use synonyms effectively. i Acknowledgement Throughout the process of writing this graduation paper, I received much-needed assistance, valuable ideas, and timely encouragement from my teachers, family, and friends.

Suggestions for further studies. 62 APPENDIX: STUDENTS’ SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE. Rationale The world is developing quickly, but the language barrier still is an invisible obstacle that people have to face nowadays. English is like a bridge, bringing people from different regions closer, while also creating many opportunities in our studies and work.
Learning English brings many benefits, some of them being: * It allows you to communicate with people from different countries and cultures. You will be able to understand their language and share information or ideas in a way that is easier for others to comprehend than when communicating using your own native language. * Learning English makes it easier for you to read books, articles, blogs and other types of written content in another language. * Learning English opens up more job opportunities as employers may prefer candidates who are fluent in multiple languages rather than just one.
All of the benefits listed above are great reasons to learn English, but there is also another benefit that can be gained by learning this language. This benefit is not just related to practical use but also mental and emotional growth. By immersing yourself in an entirely new culture and language, you will become more open-minded and flexible which may help you develop your personality as a person while broadening your horizons on many different topics. In Vietnam, English is considered a second language and is taught as a mandatory subject in schools.
