Vocabulary Skills

Dear all,

Here are today's main learning points:

We concentrated on English today and we learnt about the key skills for answering vocabulary questions.
Firstly, read the vocabulary cloze first for understanding. Then look at the options and eliminate the options are not possible to be the answer. This is to help him go step by step and with greater focus narrow your possible answers. Fit in the best fit answer for the option. Remember, some words have the same meaning but they only fit into certain scenarios. So do not always assume!

Information texts and Newspaper reports are important! Please read through and expose yourself to such texts from now on. In the vocabulary practice, the topic was on the dolphin and there are certain key vocabulary words  that relate to the dolphin only such as colouration, echolocation, marine creatures, etc. The more you read and pick up such words, the better it stands you when you answer vocabulary questions or comprehension cloze.

Just to recap again on some grammar rules:

Adjective --> describing words, describe the action, movement, features and characteristics, etc.

example: fast, skinny, sad, worried, surprised, etc.

Adverb --> describes the manner of the verb. add on to the adjective.

example: quickly, hurriedly, easily, thoroughly, etc.

Verb --> action words, describes an action.

example: run, talk, eat, sleep, etc.

Noun --> Objects, Person, Place, etc.

example: Hougang neighbourhood, policeman, shirt, etc.

Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong
