They are the basic words you need to speak, read, hear and write at a high level.  \nThe activities in this e-book teach about 450 essential words. That’s a good start for high beginner and intermediate level students, but it’s not enough for people who want to be fluent in English. Some people say ESL students need to learn and remember about 8000 words in order to communicate well in English.  \nThe purpose of this e-book is not to teach you all the essential words. My goal is to help you learn and remember common words so that you can become a better writer. Many students memorize words, and that’s good. But, they can’t remember the words easily, and that’s bad.  \nHere’s my idea about learning and remembering. The brain’s memory is like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes. So, it’s good to learn new words and practice remembering the old ones.  \nWhy games and puzzles?  \nThey are good learning tools. Games and puzzles help students learn new words and recall old words. Sometimes, they are fun, too.  \nThis e-book has ten exercises. To find the answers you’ll need to think creatively.  \nHere’s a suggestion for you. Try one game or puzzle per day. Don’t give up too easily and look at the answer sheet. That won’t really help you learn.  \nIf you can’t find the answers, look in a dictionary or other reference books.  \nEnjoy.  \nCopyright notice.  \nWritten and published by Rob Whyte.

The word can be placed in the front or back.  \n1. end, guide, scrap   1. guest, hold, wife    \n2. light, keeper, boat   2. stairs, town, sun    \n3. battle, friend, wreck   3. print, ball, wear    \n4. pan, cup, [fruit ](fruit   4. man)[ ](fruit   4. man)[ 4. man](fruit   4. man), place, fly    \n5. cloth, coffee, spoon   5. mate, side, come    \n6. brush, paste, ache   6. shoe, radish, power    \n7. switch, snow, white   7. wild, guard, boat    \n[8. shell](8. shell), shore, food   [8. house](8. house), side, doors    \n[9. phone](9. phone), ache, [ring ](ring   9. club)[ ](ring   9. club)[ 9. club](ring   9. club), mare, time    \n10. burn, flower, glasses   10. market, man, highway    \nSolve Homophone Puzzles  \nHomophones are words that have the same sound but different spellings and meanings. Homo means same and phone means sound.  \nCan you find one homophone for each word?  \n1. nose   1. pair    \n2. its   2. plain    \n3. mail   [3. new](3. new)    \n[4. buy](4. buy)   4. pour    \n5. hi   5. night    \n6. meat   6. oar    \n7. dear   7. peace    \n8. four   [8. in](8. in)    \n[9. red](9. red)   9. hire    \n10. aunt   10. heal    \nCreate a Word List  \nThe box has 8 letters. How many words can you make with the letter A?  \n\n| c | a | e | t |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| h | e | r | s |\n\nThere are 3 rules.  \n1. Use the letter A in each word; atthe start, in the middle or at the end.  \n2. Use each letter only one time per word.  \n3. Do not use any other letters.  \nScoring:  \n10 or fewer words = poor. 11-19 words = good.  \n20 or more words = excellent.  \nActivity 5  \n1.   2.   3.   4.   5.   6.   7.   8.   9.   10.   11.   12.   13.   14.   15.   16.   17.   18.   19.   20.   21.   22.   23.    \nCopyright © Rob Whyte 2010 [5 www.eslwriting.org](5 www.eslwriting.org)  \nAnother Word List  \nThe box has 9 letters.
