REMEMBER BETTER
When learning new vocabulary, it is important not only to learn the meaning of a new word but also how to pronounce it. You can use Internet dictionaries to check the pronunciation and then use the new words in conversations.

REMEMBER THIS You can make a statement stronger by adding words like: very, just, even, etc.: I'm tired. - I'm very tired.

Meg: What's wrong?
Helen: Oh, it's the World Cup. Jake talks about it the whole time. We don't go out in fact.
Meg: Well, it's only for a month. Why don't you watch a few matches? You might enjoy it.
Helen: I watch quite a few matches but Jake doesn't even know I’m there. He just sits there looking at the TV.
Meg: Simon's completely different. He doesn't really like he always complains any sports. In fact he always complains about me when we're out because I usually spend the whole time looking at my mobile phone.
Helen: Oh well, that's different. Mobiles are important!
