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.
