1lft~';;;;' o Testing Your Vocabulary

This 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 leam the words.

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 ali 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.
