Remember: Sound is not the same as spelling, for example, the word 'is'finishes with the letter's' but the sound is Izl. Iu.1 ii. When writing the sound of a word (its phonemic transcription), always put lines like these //on either side of the word: /vaen/ Stress shown with marks like these ' shows the primary stress in a word. For example, / ' go dan/ gcmien , shows the secondary stress. For example, / , t e l l ' V l j j n / teleiuiiati

It has been written to provide you with the important vocabulary in the Student's Book and to show you how these words are commonly used. It does not include easier words which you should know from lower levels such as boring, or unusual words, which you probably don't need to remember at this level.

What each entry contains • Each entry has a short explanation of the word's meaning and often gives information on other forms or opposites. • There is then a list of up to six typical collocations and phrases that the word is used with. • Regular language boxes provide extra information on word families, phrasal verbs etc.

How the OVB is organised It is organised to make it quick and easy to use in class and to revise at home. • Each unit in the OVB contains the most important new words from exercises, texts and listenings in the unit of the Student's Book. • The units are then divided according to each double page of the Student's Book and the words within those pages are written in alphabetical order. • At the end of each unit there are exercises to do. • There is an answer key at the back of the book.

Ways you can use the OVB • Read the word list before you study the unit in the book. • Translate all the words you don't know based on the explanation. Check the collocations for each word. Do they make sense? Are any different to your language? • In class, if you have forgotten a word, look it up again. Write out the collocation list and add one of your own. • Cover words in the list and say or write phrases with the word. Then compare with the collocation list. • Choose five to ten words from the list to learn each day. • Put eight new words in a story using the collocations listed. • Do the exercises at the end of each unit some time after you've done it in class. Then check the answers in the key. • Write a list of the words you find difficult to remember and write sentences using the words.

WORD BUILDING: VERBS THAT START WITH RE

Sometimes when a verb starts with the letters re, this adds the meaning of'again'to the verb. For example, reopen means 'open again'. Here are some more examples: rearrange remarry rethink rewrite

rebuild redo repaint replay retake (an exam)

remake resell reuse

However, with lots of verbs that start with rethere is no extra meaning of'again'. For example, restore does NOT mean 'to store again'- even though 'store' is also a verb. It just has a different meaning! Also, with some verbs that start with re-,you can't take away the letters re to make another verb. For example, repeat is a verb - but 'peat' is not!
