We wanted to find out what makes some test takers more successful than others. One thing that test takers who perform better do is use a wide range of vocabulary and expressions. Please note that some words are underlined on this worksheet as they are to be used in activity 4.  \nThere are many reasons for increasing your vocabulary and how you can express yourself in English.  \n◗ When you have more vocabulary and expressions to choose from, you can be more precise in explaining what you are thinking. It is then easier for other people to understand you.  \n◗ You can choose to speak in a style that is comfortable to you.  \n◗ A wide range of vocabulary helps you to rephrase what you have said (say it again in another way). This is especially useful when someone does not immediately understand what you have said.  \n◗ You can change the way you speak to different people and in different situations  \nHow can you build up your vocabulary?  \na) Expose yourself to a wide variety of English; films, books, songs, videos, spoken conversations, magazines, newspapers (online and paper)  \nb) Notice new words and expressions  \nc) Practise them  \nIn this worksheet we will be looking at b) and c).  \n Activity 1   \nHere an examiner \u003CE> and a test taker \u003CTT> are discussing the film ‘Titanic’.  \n Corpus extract   \n\u003CTT> The first thing that comes to mind after watching this film has to do with these highly qualified professionals who made mistakes.  \n\u003CE> Mm  \n\u003CTT> The shortage of lifeboats.  \n\u003CE> Mm  \n\u003CTT> One of the most astonishing moments was the musicians’ behaviour. They kept on playing to relieve the passengers’ anxiety while they watched the chaos the ship was turning into.  \nNow find words or phrases which have similar meanings to:  \nAre any of these phrases new to you? Have you used them in your own conversations?  \nTrinity tip  \nSometimes we recognise words and phrases but we do not use them. This means that they are in our‘passive vocabulary’(we understand them) but not in our ‘active vocabulary’(we understand them and use them). To increase your ‘word-power’ you need to turn passive vocabulary into active vocabulary.  \nIncreasing your vocabulary  \nPractise saying the new phrase or word repeatedly  \nThink of it in the same way as you do physical exercise. When you want to build up your strength, you exercise every day again and again. You can do the same thing with new vocabulary; say the word or phrase again and again.  \nActivity 2  \nSay these sentences aloud, completing them with your own ideas:  \na) The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the words school dinners/sinking ship/cheap clothes/luxury holidays/extra homework is…  \nFor example: The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the phrase sinking ship is the Titanic.  \nb) Now that you have got used to using that phrase, change the tense of the verb and make new sentences.  \nThe first thing that came to mind when I saw him was…  \nThe thing that is coming to mind as I look at this picture is…  \nLook and listen  \nWhen you hear or read a new-to-you phrase, try to remember how it was used — you might want to make a note of it. Then you can practise again!  \nActivity 3  \nNow do the same with these words and phrases:  \na) In our school/In our town/In his office/In some hot countries there’s a shortage of…  \nb) I kept on/running/working/reading/exercising/practising until I…  \nc) I thought…was really astonishing.  \nd) I make a lot of mistakes when I   \ne) I think my friend/my school/this project/our plan for our holiday is turning into…  \nFind other ways of saying the same thing  \nNotice synonyms for words and phrases you already know and use (ie the ones in your active vocabulary).  \nActivity 4  \nLook at the underlined words on this worksheet.
