any ideas? I can eliminate the two obviously wrong choices - "don't bother looking up a word if you can guess the meaning" because you might guess wrong especially if the context doesn't make it clear. second bad choice would be 'underline words and then look them up when you have finished the book" because by the time you've read the book you've probably forgotten what the context is

so between choices 1 and 3, which one(s) do you think are good strategies? both, one or the other, neither?

Make a list of words and definitions as you learn them.

Just think about it. When reading a book a person may find numerous new unknown words which should be looked up in the dictionary to grasp the message of the text. A good method is to underline all the new words we do not know. And after that, to create a glossary with all those new words in order to learn them and be able to adopt and use them later.
