Build your vocab power! Grrrr!!!

Hi all,

Here are a couple of nice resources for all you logophiles (that's a lover of words) to help you build up a stockpile of bombastic terms to wow the examiner!

First, this word wheel is particularly useful for those thoughts and feelings questions in the English Language paper (Q3). Click it to make it bigger.

Even better, see the 9-page doc below. Why not print it off and learn as many as you can?


Enjoy!

PS. I'm also a bit of a fan of this: the Academic Word List.

Six Word Memoirs

The song is 'Autumnsong' by the Manic Street Preachers - it seemed to match the tone of your writing.

Enjoy!

Hi all,

Nearly there with Inspector. Then just 11 poems to go - speed poetry style!

I'm also going to share a new approach to that horrible, overwhelming, onerous and burdensome Question 4 from the English Language Paper.

In the meantime, here's a nice resource for all you logophiles (that's a lover of words) to help you build up a stockpile of bombastic terms to wow the examiner!


Enjoy!
