INTRODUCTION TO OUTCOMES VOCABULARY BUILDER

Learning vocabulary in collocations and phrases will develop your fluency. And doing a little revision regularly is the best way to learn vocabulary. That's what the Outcomes Vocabulary Builder (OVB) will help you with.

It has been written to provide you with the important vocabulary in the Student's Book and to show you how these words are commonly used. It does not include easier words which you should know from lower levels such as boring, or unusual words, which you probably don't need to remember at this level.

What each entry contains

• Each entry has a short explanation of the word's meaning and often gives information on other forms or opposites.

• There is then a list of up to six typical collocations and phrases that the word is used with. • Regular language boxes provide extra information on word families, phrasal verbs etc.

How the OVB is organised

It is organised to make it quick and easy to use in class and to revise at home.

• Each unit in the OVB contains the most important new words from exercises, texts and listenings in the unit of the Student's Book.

• The units are then divided according to each double page of the Student's Book and the words within those pages are written in alphabetical order.

• At the end of each unit there are exercises to do. • There is an answer key at the back of the book.

Ways you can use the OVB

• Read the word list before you study the unit in the book. • Translate all the words you don't know based on the explanation. Check the collocations for each word. Do

they make sense? Are any different to your language? • In class, if you have forgotten a word, look it up again. Write out the collocation list and add one of your own. • Cover words in the list and say or write phrases with the word. Then compare with the collocation list. • Choose five to ten words from the list to learn each day. • Put eight new words in a story using the collocations listed. • Do the exercises at the end of each unit some time after you've done it in class. Then check the answers in

the key. • Write a list of the words you find difficult to remember and write sentences using the words.

A phrasal verb is a verb and a particle that are used together with a particular meaning.

For example, she rushed out of the house / let's walk down the stairs / they ran away with my bag 11 fell over, mean that the person rushed, walked, ran or fell.

However, sometimes adding the particle changes the meaning of the verb: He walked out on his wife (he left his wife). They ran out of food and drink (they used all the food and needed more). I fell out with my brother (we had an argument).

The other phrasal verbs in this unit are: deal with (solve), grow up (become an adult),get by (manage), p/'d: up (learn), rely on (trust), make up (invent), sort out (solve)

WORD BUILDING: VERBS THAT START WITH RE

Sometimes when a verb starts with the letters re, this adds the meaning of'again'to the verb. For example, reopen means 'open again'. Here are some more examples:

rearrange rebuild redo remake remarry repaint replay resell rethink retake (an exam) reuse rewrite

However, with lots of verbs that start with re-there is no extra meaning of'again'. For example, restore does NOT mean 'to store again'- even though 'store' is also a verb. It just has a different meaning!

Also, with some verbs that start with re-,you can't take away the letters re to make another verb. For example, repeat is a verb - but 'peat' is not!
