Glossary

Activity: Build your own vocabulary bank.

Write drown some sentences to bear in mind the word collocation.

It should include at least the following cathegories:
  1. Vocabulary.
  2. Slang/coloquial.
  3. Prasal verbs.
  4. Idioms.
I started one using my test and the online dictionaries I suggested you could use. Have a look, please:

Phrasal verbs:

Trying out = http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/try+out and
http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=try%20out

Getting rid = http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/get%20rid http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=get%20rid

Vocabulary:
Whoever = http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=try%20out

Slang/coloquial
Nosy = http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nosy


Note these online dictionaries will give you lots of information about words.
All this information is very important:
  1. word collocation
  2. spelling and pronunciation
  3. meaning and translation
  4. meaning in context
