BBC Transport Vocabulary

When you are learning English it is very important to be able to use the langauge you learn in real situations. It is great to talk about John Berry or Hugo Peters, but you cannot talk to normal English people about this. Therefore, it is important to learn vocabulary that you can use in real situations. A great example of this is for transport. This is a great exercise to practice transport vocabulary. http://wsdownload.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/pdf/2011/10/111003161006_qnet_358_transport.pdf

There are some very good examples to use all of which are very practical and useful.

BBC Phrasal Verbs

Phrasal Verbs are some of the most difficult things to learn in English. They are difficult to understand and difficult to predict. The best way to practice them is to use them and see them being used. This is an exercise where you pick the right Phrasal Verb for each sentence. http://wsdownload.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/pdf/2011/04/110404113132_qnet_333_phrasal_verbs.pdf

The cativity is good because it is nice and practical and you can see real examples. Unfortunatley, it is not interactive, so you just have to check the answers at the bottom of the exercise. the explanations, though, are very detailed so they are good.

PRESENT PERFECT (ENGLISH PAGE)

This is a website called English Page. It gives some good examples and some excellent practice exercises. We have added three links for you

EXPLANATION
http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/presentperfect.html This page is a little boring and the example is quite complicated. The examples are all written and there is a lot of complicated language that might be difficult for Waystage students. It is not as useful as our explanations on wsinice.blogspot.com which you can see here: http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/presentperfect.html

EXERCISES
http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/verbs5.htm and http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/verbs6.htm. the exercises are much better than the explanations. They are great to practice and they will give you scores to show you how many you got correct and how many you got wrong. If you get an answer incorrect, the site will tell you which answer is incorrect, but it will not correct it for you. In that situation you need to think about:

1. The tense you used
2. How you conjugated the verb
