9. Collocations
Page 45 has a list of
different collocations that
are used in readings 1 & 2.
You can find them by
looking back through the
stories. Here’s the key:
R1 - Reading 1, pp. 32 - 34
R2 - Reading 2, pp. 40 - 42
Collocations are words that often
appear together.
Because English is kind of a stupid
language, there are no real rules for how
collocations work.
You just have to learn them one by one.
10. Descriptive
Writing
When you use descriptive
language, you are trying to
make a clear image of what
you are talking about.
Some of the best ways to
create good descriptions is to
use:
Adjectives
I looked into her cold eyes.
Adverbs
I boldly looked into her cold
eyes.
Verbs
I boldly gazed into her cold
eyes and told her kiss me
with the fire of a thousand
suns.
In the descriptive essay on page 47,
find at least two sensory details for
each of the five senses.
