Paula's English diary

This week I have learned new ways to expand vocabulary and it is very useful for written compressions. The former is to loof for synonyms and antonyms of the same word:  Foreign: abroad and native. Confident: trustworthly and insecure.  The latter is to make a table and write noun, adjective and verb. So, it is filled in and we learn new words from their lexical roots. For example:                               NOUN                       ADJECTIVE                         VERB               finances                        finalcial                             finance             ...

 Today, we have seen words that have relation with online and education because those words were the topic of the last writing we did.  This vocabulary I already knew but I didn´t remember it at the moment. So I learnt I must have an organisation to clasificate these words because it is easier to study. In class, we have reviewed mind-maps, which I found very usuful, and crossword.
