Week 3: Toetsvaardigheid

Planning

This week -> you know more about tests and to figure out the meaning of certain words.

This week -> you know what prefixes and suffixes are.  

Next week -> tests. 

Signal words

See booklet you received

How can the signal words help you? 

Cause and result (consequently, as a result) 

Contrast (whereas, rather, on the other hand)

Enumeration (furthermore, in addition to) 

My advice

Choose a few of each category, study those, know them by ❤️

Base your choiches on the practice exams not on what you find easiest, exams don't work that way

Prefixes and suffixes

The ones in the questions                                  The ones in the texts
