Vocabulary p. 24

Having a wide range of vocabulary is important 

because it helps you say what you mean clearly. 

It makes reading, writing, and speaking easier. 

When you know more words, you can understand 

texts and conversations better. 

It also helps you feel more confident when you 

talk to others and use the right words in 

different situations.

Formative Assessment

This is a formative vocabulary test. The goal is to check how well you understand and can use the new words.

Read each exercise carefully.

Write your answers clearly in the spaces provided.

Use complete sentences in the short-answer questions.

Try to use the vocabulary in a correct and meaningful way.

Do your best – this test will help you see what you already know and what you still need to practice.
