🗣️ VOCABULARY: Basic Concepts (Cont…)
(Units 61–63)
🚶 Unit 61: Motion – Taking Steps
Learn how to describe movement—from walking and running to figurative progress (e.g., “take a leap forward”).
Example: She tiptoed across the room to avoid waking the baby.
💬 Tip: Pay attention to verb + preposition pairs (e.g., move on, step up). They often change meaning!
🤝 Unit 62: Manner – Behaviour and Body Language
Explore how gestures, tone, and body language affect communication and show attitudes or emotions.
Example: He spoke politely but crossed his arms defensively.
💬 Tip: When learning adjectives for manner (e.g., courteous, arrogant, respectful), connect them with real-life situations.
🔊 Unit 63: Sounds – Listen Up!
Discover how to describe different types of sounds—from natural noises to human and mechanical ones.
Example: The thunder rumbled as the rain drummed on the roof.
💬 Tip: Group sounds by source (animals, people, environment) to remember them more easily.

✏️ GRAMMAR: Adjectives and Adverbs
(Units 66–68)
📍 Unit 66: Position of Adjectives
Understand where adjectives go in a sentence—before a noun (a tall man) or after linking verbs (He is tall).
💬 Tip: Remember: some adjectives only appear after verbs (e.g., afraid, asleep, awake).
🌡️ Unit 67: Gradable and Non-Gradable Adjectives (1)
Learn to tell whether adjectives can show degrees (hot → very hot) or not (freezing, not very freezing).
💬 Tip: Use intensifiers correctly:
-
Gradable → very, quite, extremely
-
Non-gradable → absolutely, completely, totally
🔥 Unit 68: Gradable and Non-Gradable Adjectives (2)
Dive deeper into common collocations and practice using extreme adjectives naturally.
Example: The meal was absolutely delicious!
💬 Tip: Try replacing common words (good, bad, big) with stronger synonyms (fantastic, awful, enormous) to sound more fluent.
