Using collocations Collocations are two or three words that you use together to make a phrase, for example, take a break. When you use these words together, they have a new meaning that they didn't have before. It is useful to learn collocations because they help you to use words in sentences correctly.

UNIT 3 A Read and listen to the two posts from a student forum about learning. 7 In which post does a student... 1 give advice about learning? 2 ask for advice about learning? I was in Grade 7 last year and I really enjoyed it. From my experiences I have some suggestions to help you learn. When you read a text, it is useful to underline new words or highlight them. I find it easy to remember the meaning of the words, but I sometimes find it difficult to remember how to spell them. I read online that you can remind yourself of tricky spelling words by linking them to other words. For example, I always forget the difference between desert and dessert. I tell myself that dessert has two 's' letters, so it reminds of sweet strawberry desserts! Sweet strawberry begins with two 's' letters like the word < > X dessert, which is a sweet food we eat. Desert has only one 's' so it is a piece of land, not a kind of food! Amr, 14 B Hi Amr! Thank you for your post, it was very interesting. I'm not really worried about learning new words, or spelling as this is something I am good at. However, the idea of underlining or highlighting new words is very useful so I will try that this year. What makes me nervous is when I have to give a presentation in class. Can you give me any suggestions about that? What is a good way to practice a presentation? Also, my mom says it is good to take a break when you are tired. What do you think? What did you do in Grade 7 when you needed a break? Dalia, 13 4 Read the posts again. Answer the questions. A 1 What does Amr find easy to learn? 2 What does Amr find difficult? 3 What does Amr do to remember that dessert has two 's' letters not one? 5 Read the Reading skills box and then answer the questions. Which writer ... 1 is not in Grade 7 at the moment? B 1 What does Dalia have problems with? 2 What idea can Dalia use to help her? 3 What advice does Dalia want from Amr? 2 likes an idea that the other student wrote about? 3 talks about how something helped their learning? 4 wants to know what the other student did when they were tired? ⑥ Think of a time when you learned something that you wanted to remember. How did you do this? Use the phrases below to help you make notes. When? (e.g., yesterday, last week,) Comparing two texts Look for what is the same or different about the two texts. This helps you to understand both texts better. First, decide what the main points and ideas are in each text. Then, you can see if these main points and ideas are different or the same. If they are different, think about how and why they are different. Steps: 1. (First,). Result (already, know...) Did what? 2. (Then,) 3. (After that,) 5
