Here, you’ll get ideas on how to go about this. • Evaluation and Portfolio Always remember to evaluate your plans, to see if they worked.

Words, Words, Words I love working with words! Using the right words at the right time can keep you out of all kinds of trouble!

The best way to learn a new language is to learn a lot of words. The more words you know, the easier it will be to speak, write, and understand English.

The best way to learn words is to work with them in many different ways. That’s why you should: 1 Work with keywords before reading or listening to a text.
