To the student                         Things in the home

Write the numbers I to 12 next to the correct words. This book will help you to learn new English words while having fun at the same time. Many of the tests use pictures — such as the tests on things in the home, food and drink, fruit and vegetables, sports equipment and clothes. Others are based on word types — for example, verbs, adjectives, prepositions and adverbs. There are also tests on pairs of words that have similar meanings, opposites, and words that people often mix up. Use the contents list to find the right test for you. Or go through the book and choose one that looks interesting or has drawings that you like. So if you feel like doing a crossword, choose a crossword. If you feel like looking at cartoons, try one of the Phrases tests where you match words to a picture. If a test is fun to do, this is one of the best ways of learning new words fast. There's no need to start at the beginning and work through every test in the book. The tests at the end are no more difficult than the ones at the beginning.

There are tip boxes on nearly every page. They will give you extra help and information. They will also give you ideas on how to learn new words.


To really learn a new word, you will need to do each test more than once. So use a pencil to write the answers in the book when you test yourself. Then, check your answers and 100k carefully at the words you didn't know or got wrong. Finally, rub out your answers ready for the next time you try that test. Each test will take you between five and fifteen minutes the first time you do it, but the next time you will probably be much quicker.

The tests in this book do not get harder as you go from Test 1 to Test 60. However, the five books in the Test Your Vocabulary series are carefully graded from Book 1 (for.beginners) to Book 5, which is for advanced students. If you find this book is too easy, try the next one up. If you find it is too hard, try the next one down,

Good luck with learning the words in this book. And we hope that you will

enjoy using the words in real situations once you've learnt them here.

Peter Watcyn Jones

  All but three of the items on this page are compound nouns. Some compound nouns are written as one word like briefcase, suitcase and dustpan. Some are written as two words like bottle opener and tea towel. Can you think of another compound noun ending with the word opener and another one ending with the word towel?

peach

pepper plum tangerine

  There are lots of fruits similar to tangerines but which have different names, for example clementines, mandarins, satsumas. Most people don't know the difference between them and nobody really cares apart from greengrocers. The most useful general word for all of them is probably tangerine.

  On the night of Christmas Eve in Britain, children hang out a sock (called a stocking, for some reason at Christmas!) for Father Christmas to fill with presents while they are asleep. Its traditional for Father Christmas to put a tangerine and some nuts at the bottom of the stocking, in the toe. The tradition originates from the time when tangerines were luxuries.

Some adjectives go with particular nouns. The adjective stale, for example, usually goes with the noun bread. It can also go with cake, biscuits, buns and other baked food. We can't say that meat or milk is stale. Meat can be off or rotten. Milk can be off or sour.

I had to throw the sausages away. They were off. / They were rotten.

Don't use that milk. I think it's off.

  A bilingual dictionary can be very useful for a quick translation of simple words. However. you must be careful to find the right translation if a word has several meanings. For example. in English we can use the verb catch in both these sentences: I'm in a hurry, I have to catch a train. and Keep warm or you'll catch a cold. Can you use the same word in your language?

  If somebody decides they want to have long hair, they say they are growing it.

'Your hair's longer than Usual. '

'Yes, I'm growing it. I haven't had it cut for six months now. '
