TIPS AND TECHNIQUES FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING VERBAL ANALOGY

English vocabulary plays a vital role in succeeding in any competitive and entrance examinations. These examinations are mostly intended to scrutinize candidates and provide jobs in both government and private organizations and higher education facilities in national and international educational institutions. Whatever the purpose behind taking any competitive or entrance examination, it is very conspicuous that command over English vocabulary is very must. Keeping this fact in my mind, I start writing this paper focusing on one of the prominent vocabulary topics- analogy in which a learner can get a scope to touch all fields and sciences of animate and inanimate things in the universe. The topic- analogy touches all walks of human life, science and technology, religion and philosophy, history and literature, art and architecture, sociology and psychology. A learner has to learn about things from terrestrial to celestial to extraterrestrial worlds. A learner should have a thorough knowledge of all issues and things in the world as to solve analogy problems. In this paper I try to give maximum possible number of types of analogies.
