Test Your Vocabulary - Book 4 [antikvár]

Owing to the emphasis in recent years on functional and communicative approaches to language learning, many other important areas of the language have been neglected. One such area is vocabulary. This series is an attempt to remedy this situation not only by filling a real gap in the materials available but alsó by attempting to show that vocabulary learning can be just as much fun and just as stimulating as other activities. There are five books altogether in the series, ranging from Elementary level to Advanced. Each book contains fifty tests or exercises and, to facilitate self-study, a key is alsó included. Students using these books should find vocabulary learning both stimulating and enjoyable and, hopefully, start to develop a real sensitivity to the language.Test Your Vocabulary - Book 4 is the final book in the series and is intended for advanced students - in particular students studying for the Cambridge Proficiency or similar examinations or University students. It is similar to Test Your Vocabulary - Book 3 and contains, among other things, further tests on word-building and phrasal verbs. In addition, there are tests based on different ways of saying the same thing, slang and colloquial expressions. There are approximatley 800 words in the book.TO THE STUDENTThis book will help you to learn a lot of new English words. But in order for the new words to become "fixed" in your mind, you need to test yourself again and again. Here is one method you can use to help you learn the words:1.Read through the instructions carefully for the test you are going to try. Then try the test, writing your answers in pencil.2.When you have finished, check your answers and correct any mistakes you have made. Read through the test again, paying special attention to the words you didn't know or got wrong.3.Try the test again five minutes later. You can do this either by covering up the words (for example, in the picture tests) or by asking a friend to test you. Repeat this until you can remember all the words.4.Rub out your answers.5.Try the test again the following day. (You should remember most of the words.)6.Finally, plan to try the test at least twice again within the following month. After this most of the words will be "fixed" in your mind.
