Making the most of your self-studytime Translating from English into your own language is normal at this level When you study this book at home, it is a good idea to also keep your own vocabulary notebook Write down new bits of English on the left and translations on the right Here is an exercise which shows you how to translate well A collocation is two or more words which go together.This often means an adjective + a noun, a verb + a noun, or a noun * a noun Some ofthe exercises in this book look at collocations of common words - hove, sort out, get - because it is important to learn how to use these useful words in lots of different ways Start your vocabulary notebook by copying the sentences below on a page Write a translation next to each sentence in your own language Test yourself in a week's time Cover the sentences and use your translations to help you remember the whole sentences in English Match the verbs with the nouns to make collocations Haveyou been there? l to play send work study * a tennis * b in a bank * * * c medicine d swimming e an e-mail Now match these adjectives with the nouns to make collocations srront a long aheavy .abis 10 auseful m ;* t m * b"g fan of Bob Marley I h coffee i.) subjectto study j way to walk Learnfurg new collocations is a big part of learning a language You need to be careful when translating into your own language lt is always better to translate collocations - or even whole sentences - than single words L What're you doing tonight? lt's the secondcity How long'veyou been doing that?
