3.massive -육중하고거대한

4.preserve -지키다, 보호하다
The security guard will preserve the office while we are away. not really how preserve is normally used ... "Older people want to preserve their culture for the next generation". "Preserve" is mostly used with food, and with old things (culture, old buildings). Ex. The kimchi was stored in a preserving jar. The historical building was preserved because of the protesters efforts.
5.denounce -맹렬히 비난하다
I don't want to denounce his business style. this is not wrong, but an unusual context to use this word. Denounce would normally be used with polititians and/or religious figures.
6.torrent - 마구쏟아짐,빗발침
Rain is coing down in torrent now. good. I hope this is not happening to you :) !!
7.resent - 분하게 여기다
I resented not to won an award.
(I'm not sure I need to write "win" or "won" ... ㅡㅡ;)
I resented not winning an award. to win = infinitive (basic verb) and so is never past tense.

9. unforseen - 뜻밖의, 예상하지못한
Our project will be over soon, if there isn't are not any unforseen problems.
(problems = plural, so use are)
singlular version -> Our project will be over soon, if there isn't another problem.
>>Who do you let me know the effective way of memorising new words.
I put sticky notes on everything I could. Example: write "refrigerator" on a sticky note and put it on your refrigerator where you will see it every day. Same for "door", "window", "chair" etc. Also. Make some cards with words on them and practice EVERY DAY until you know them instantly, then make some new ones.
It's important to say the words aloud as you read them. This means the information is going in your ears and your eyes so is more likely to stay in your brain @-@
