WORD FORMATION – USE OF
ENGLISH FOR FIRST CERTIFICATE
Recommendations for doing these exercises at
home.
Don’t worry if you make many mistakes in your
first attempt. You get better by repeating and repeating, but first, make sure you
understand what you’re reading as well as any attempt at producing the word. Two of the objectives are to help you become
familiar with words you didn’t know and to develop an intuition how to create
derivatives.
-
Read
the whole text once or twice and identify words you don’t understand.
-
Use
google images or a dictionary to find out what the words are or mean.
-
Read
text a second time, ensuring that you understand the meaning of words and
identify what word type you need in each gap (noun, adjective, verb, adverb,
opposite adjective?)
-
Do the exercise and check the answers.
- Added value: Cut
and paste the text onto google translate or reverso and listen to it. Make you know how to pronounce words and sentences.
-
Do
it all over again, two or three times.
-
Go
back to this text in a few days’ time and do it over again.
Further exploitation of the text: Do you understand the suffixes? Does it make sense? Do you have an equivalent for such and such word? If not, what helps you identify the idea/meaning?
If you translated the text, how different would it be from the English version? Would sentences be considerably different?
