Section 3 is based on the Quiz. This helps you to learn the meaning of new words and how to remember them.
Suggestion: You can write your answers in our Support Pack.
You might want to use a notebook or part of your folder to make your own word lists and maps.
The quiz in this podcast is called ‘Beginning with…’ – for example, ‘think of a sport beginning with ‘B’ – the answer could be ‘baseball’ or ‘basketball’ for example – there are lots of possibilities. Playing this game is a good way to revise and learn new vocabulary.

Put words into different categories
Practice materials: Exercise 2
You can play ‘Beginning with…’ by yourself, or with a friend. Here are some ideas:
sports
animals
fruit
vegetables
food
drink
clothes
jobs
things in the kitchen/bedroom/living room/classroom/office
transport
countries/nationalities
colours
things you can see in the street/at the beach
things that you can see at this moment
Now write some letters of the alphabet on a piece of paper, and play the game.
