Diagnostic Language Test

I have completed the diagnostic language test. The areas that I found it difficult are word meaning and verb pattern.
To improve the word meaning area I search for the word meaning exercise. I found a very good website to practise on this area.
http://www.english-zone.com/vocab/vic01.html
This exercise is very useful for me. It guild you how to guess words that you don't know. I think to guess the words from the content is very important because I don't know every word in English and it is take time to look at them in dictionary. Also, to do this exercise helping you to learn new vocabularies.

Examples of the exercise.

1.My absent-minded teacher loses his keys, his book and his chalk almost every day!
What does it mean to be absent-minded?

A) be hateful
B) not pay attention
C) be intelligent
D) not like someone

2.The thought of eating a rat is abhorrent to most people.
What does abhorrent probably mean?

A) fun, lively
B) horrible, repugnant
C) delicious, tasty
D) sweet, sugary

Practise by using some of the words from the exercise
  • Some people think that Thai people eat dog meet. I'm Thai and I think eating dog is abhorrent.
  • When I speaking English, my voice is almost inaudible.
  • There is abundent of rice in Thailand
