Vocabulary building and teaching:


I've borrowed an academic English book from my friend who is studying in University of Reading. This vocabulary book gives systematic practice in using words that commonly occur in academic texts. The book provides practice in using key academic words. They give in the first task about Education and health meanings word for example - a – The growing popularity of the subject is evident in the number of students wanting to study it – b – Most physician believe we will derive great benefit from this new form of treatment. I've answered more than three exercises for example matching, the words on the left and the definitions on the right, complete the pairs, and chose the words from the box and complete the sentences etc. It's not difficult to learn new vocabulary what you need is just keep your vocabulary note book and make a record of the new words and how are they used. Try to review the words at the end of the day, then to the end of the week and again after two weeks it will helpful you to learn it easily. I'll list some of the words and see if you can give me a definition of the word:- -Vary –Interpret –Work flow –Welfare –Colony –communist regime –absurd –threaten –bulky – civil war
