The Test Your Vocabulary books filled this need when they first came out, and they continue to do so, There are six books in the series, from elementary to advanced level. In this new edition of the series each book has ten new tests, To facilitate self-study there is a full Answer Key. Students using Test Your Vocabulary will find learning vocabulary both stimulating and enjoyable. Test Your Vocabulary 2 is the third book in the series and is intended for intermediate students. There are sixty tests, and approximately 1,000 words in the book. The tests cover areas of vocabulary such as jobs, clothes and people’s characteristics. There are twelve picture tests on everyday objects found in the home, furniture and parts of a car. Finally, there are tests on synonyms, antonyms, prepositions, British and American English, anagrams, adverbs, adjective-noun collocations, rhyming words and words with more than one meaning. TO THE STUDENT 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 learn the words. 1 Read through the instructions carefully for the test you are going to try. Then try the test, writing your ansviers 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. ‘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. 1 Things in the home 1 Write the number of each drawing next to the correct word. coat hanger 12, ite. @ lightbulb | colander —: plate ( eggslicey eee carpet beater scrubbing brush - @ cheese slicer See teatowl ae A = 2 Synonyms — adjectives Give a synonym for each of the words in brackets in the following sentences.
