Don't stop when you recognise the word. Say or write a sentence that is true for you. This forces your brain to retrieve the vocabulary instead of simply recognising it.

Speak for 60–90 seconds about this topic. Try to use at least five items from the page. Then repeat your answer once, replacing basic words with more precise vocabulary.
This topic can appear in general English speaking and writing tasks and in exam preparation. Use vocabulary you control accurately. One natural collocation is worth more than several advanced words used incorrectly.
Learn words in short phrases and realistic examples, then use them in speaking or writing. Retrieval and repeated use are more effective than rereading a list.
A small set you actively practise is more useful than a large list you only recognise. Focus on meaning, pronunciation, collocations and one personal example.
