It also explores these problems effect on reading ability. Findings from 30 senior English major students through a questionnaire show that their methods and habits of learning vocabulary will affect the real acquisition of vocabulary and finally affect reading ability. Key Words: vocabulary, reading ability, real acquisition of vocabulary1. Introduction In recent years, there are many researchers and theorists who have repeatedly verified that there is a mutual relationship between reading comprehension and the acquisition of vocabulary. These researches emphasize that reading will be helpful for ones who can acquire a large number of new words. They also believe that vocabulary affect reading comprehension, but how? There are few researches on this topic. It is true that people often use sentences to express their intended meaning. The minimal part of a sentence is word. But how do these words form a sentence? Despite grammatical rules, it should also consist of word collocations. Word collocations are stable. Please look at following examples: If you are free now, I suggest _(play) basketball for a while. In this sentence, if you know its collocation, you will easily find out the answer. But if you do not know, I do not think you can cope with it well. Similarly, the word high, 〃tall〃 are similar in meaning but are often used with different collocations as in high quality7 z zhigh standard7 , za tall man but never high man. The word collocation has been established. All learners can do is to learn it and try to use it As Nation(2001:318) notes that ”all fluent and appropriate language use requires collocation knowledge” . But according to observation, many learners pay little attention to them. So they often make mistakes when they try to use it in their daily life. 3.4.4 Attaching No Importance to IdiomsIdioms a
