Speak Up!
Studying vocabulary with a diagram will help you remember all the words faster. In this lesson, we learned vocabulary related to four major categories:
- Hairdressing
- Laundry
- Study techniques
- Feelings
Your assignment is to create a diagram, organizing the vocabulary in a way that makes it easier for you to understand. You need to include all of the vocabulary words from this lesson.
You can use your computer to draw the diagram, or you can do it on an art board. Explaining the diagram to family and friends will help you remember the vocabulary.
After you create your diagram, practice reading the vocabulary words aloud, and then record them on your own.
Tip for Success!
You can add the vocabulary from lesson 10.8 to make your diagram more complete.
