Words taken from FCE Examination Papers with Answers 4 (CUP 2010) Tests 1 to 3
Choose one of the words below from real Cambridge Use of English Part Three tasks and make as many true statements about words formed from it as you can. Any other form is okay, including other parts of speech, opposites, plurals and other tenses, as long as they make sense. Your teacher may ask you to spell them before you are given a point. You get one point for each correct form, but if you make any mistake you lose all the points gained from that word.
If you get all the ones on the teacher’s list for that word, you get a bonus point. You also get a bonus point if you choose the ones below which feature more than once in the book of past papers which these words come from.
