Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each

of the questions.

If you’d like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your vocabulary. In order

to do this, you have to practice a lot. I’m afraid there is not a shortcut for this. But there are many

effective ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can read short stories, comics, newspapers,

magazines, etc. depending on your English level. As you read, you can try to guess the meanings of

unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you cannot, then look up the definition in a

dictionary. English to English dictionary should be your first choice and keep the translator as last.

Another way of building vocabulary is to watch movies in English which will also help with

pronunciation. Try to be involved with the language as much as you can. Keep a vocabulary notebook

and write down a few words each day. Keep in mind that you have to revise them regularly. In my

opinion, to communicate with people all you need is words. Even if you just say the words one after

another, people most likely will understand what you mean regardless of the order of the words and

grammar.

not real. Fiction books can be found in abundance at bookstores and libraries. They can even be found

on the shelves of comic shops and game shops. Often, fiction books are written in two or three

combinations from the science, fantasy and classical groups. The most popular kind among

youngsters is probably in the area of fantasy. Anything involving magic and witchcraft, spacecraft and

aliens, or superheroes and time travel may be used in this category.

facts, real people, real events and real places. Most of the time, non-fiction books are written by
