During the test you will be asked to complete two tasks: matching vocabulary with defintions and filling in the blanks by using the words in sentences.
Matching vocabulary with definitions
Draw lines between the vocabulary and the definitions. For example:
Dread ➜ A feeling of great fear and apprehension
Biro ➜ A kind of ballpoint pen
Fill in the blanks
Complete the sentences with the most appropriate vocabulary word from the list. For example:
Feeling . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . in my new outfit, I decided to change into something more casual. (Obekväm)
Correct answer ➜ Feeling uncomfortable in my new outfit, I decided to change into something more casual.
It is very important that you write the entire sentence and that your spelling and grammar is correct.
