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.

•  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.
