Understanding Vocabulary In Context
Bayani Gaba-gaba
Two of the surest marks on the Reading paper come from a single skill: working out what a word means from the company it keeps. You are not allowed a dictionary, and you do not need one. The sentence around a word, the situation it describes and the feeling it carries all point you to its meaning. The trick is to explain the word as the writer is using it, here, in this context, not the safe definition you half remember from somewhere else.
This lesson shows you how. You will learn to read the clues around an unfamiliar word, to give a contextual meaning rather than a generic one, and to notice the connotation a word choice carries. We model the two real question types, set a weak answer against a strong one, annotate a model response, and finish with an exam-style task marked the way an examiner marks it.
