Dear student,
I found a new study material just for you. It’s called „Exerciții și teste de limba engleză pentru competență și performanță”. The great thing about this book is that it is structured on 3 levels: elementary, intermediate and advanced. It is ideal for those of you who want to further your knowledge of the English language. With respect to the Intermediate level, it is made up of three parts, each followed by a test. In the end, you have the key to check your answers.
a. Phonetics (consonants, vowels, rhythm, intonation, etc.)
b. Lexicology (prefixes, suffixes, expressions, antonymy)
c. Morpho-syntax (nouns, determiners, adjectives, verbs, prepositions)
Till next time, here are a couple of exercises:
A. Fill in the blanks with the required adjective, without taking into account the frequency with which it is repeated. The following words will be necessary: black, greedy, blind, dry, soft, sweet, mad, hard, smooth, like, strong, fresh, cold, bright, tender:
1. as….. as coal
2. as… as a bat
3. as…. as midnight
4. as…. as the light
5. as… as a wolf
6. as…. as a stone
7. as…. as velvet
8. as… as day
9. as… as wax
10. as…. as ice
B. Fill in the blanks with hard and hardly:
1. You didn’t try very… to contend with him.
