Top Vocabulary With Answers

Vocabulary With A nswers Vocab vocab vocab! This month, I am really going to focus on expanding your vocabulary, and training you to understand and speak like a native! In particular, I want to talk about 3 key vocabulary groups: Collocations  - these are  word combinations  that simply sound  just right  to native speakers. They are two or more words that are often found together and sound correct.  e.g. budget cut, do homework, break a habit Idioms  - these expressions, words, or  phrases that cannot be translated literally  into your own language. If you translate them, they will not have the same meaning.  e.g. it's raining cats and dogs, it's not my cup of tea Phrasal Verbs  - these are the  combination of a basic verb with one or more particles  (a preposition and/or an adverb). You can't understand a phrasal verb by looking at the verb alone - you have to look at the phrasal verb as a whole! e.g  look up, take off, go out These 3 vocab groups are hard to learn becaus

listening skills transformation

The time has come to focus on listening! It's hard, but I have a lot of experience guiding my students to a listening skills transformation! In my years as a teacher, I've tried every method in the book. I'll tell you a secret - lots of them are absolutely rubbish. They train students to pass exams, but they don't train students to genuinely understand spoken English. In my view, there are 5 exercises that really work: Transcription exercises Like the ones I sent you in an email 2 days ago,  transcription exercise s are seriously effective. Play a sentence, and write what you hear. Practice practice practice, and it will become easier and easier and easier! 2.  Real conversation clips My pet hate  (something I hate most) is when textbooks give scripted conversations. They aren't authentic, and they won't help you in the real world! If you want to improve your listening skills, you have to listen to  real conversations . 3.  In-the-moment comprehension Take a rea

How Native Speakers Make Sound so Native?

Do you Know Why Native Speakers Sound  so...native Have you ever asked yourself:  What makes native speakers sound so... native? Lots of English learners know a good level of English, but they don't sound natural. They know lots of grammar. They have passed English exams. They have studied pronunciation and vocabulary. So why is it that when they speak, they don't sound natural? The answer: COLLOCATIONS Seriously, this will blow your mind, and transform your English: Collocations are  word combinations  that simply sound  just right  to native speakers. They are two or more words that are  often found together  and sound correct. This is a really important point - there may be  other words  available that will  make sense,  but  collocations  are the word combinations that sound  truly perfect  in the mind of a  native speaker. Look at this example: He lost his job due to a   budget cut. He lost his job due to a  budget reduction . Both  budget cut  a
