Exercises for “Words” A. LISTEN carefully to the pronunciation of each word or phrase in the vocabulary list. B. REPEAT each word or phrase OUT LOUD as many times as necessary until you can pronounce it accurately. Make a list of the words in this chapter which are hard to pronounce. Your teacher may ask you to compare your list with other students in your class. Example: niece دخترِِخواهر to dance رقصيدن C. WRITE each word on the vocabulary list several times until you are sure that you can spell each correctly. Listen to the vocabulary list again and write the words as they are spoken. (You may expect dictation quizzes in class!) D. Learn the English translation of each phrase. Cover the Persian column and practice giving the Persian equivalent for each English phrase. Next cover the English column and give the translation of each. E. Think of word associations for each category of vocabulary. (What words, both English and Persian, do you associate with each word or phrase on the list? ) Example: daughter/son پسر/دختر mother/father پدر/مادر F. Write out three lists of four words, three of which are related and one which does not fit the same category. For example: book, pen, pencil, chalk. In this list, pen, pencil, and chalk are all items which one uses to write with. ‘Book’ is not logical in this list of words. Categories are usually linked to meaning, but they might also be based on grammar, or parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective). Use your imagination! Be prepared to turn in your exercises in class. Example:

)دوست(، دختر ، دوست پدر، مادر، پسر The first three words are family members. دوست means friend.
