PREFACE

Learning Vocabulary Workbook Four

LEARNING VOCABULARY WORKBOOK 4 is specially written to help

assess and expand a student's scope in vocabulary.

The book contains three sections, where ninety exercises are

meticulously divided according to different skills and specific word

groups. In addition, a glossary is included at the end of the book for

easy reference. Difficult words found in each exercise are defined

in the glossary.

Online activities are tagged to the exercises, providing a platform for the student to learn and have fun at the same time.

It is hoped that the exercises and online activities will reinforce the

learning of new words as well as increase a student's confidence in

using words to express himself.
