Most students find it easier to assimilate new vocabulary if the words are learned in related groups, rather than in isolation. For example, words frequently occur in the same context as their opposites and, as such, it makes sense to learn the pairs of opposites together (see worksheets on pages 7 and 29). Similarly, mind maps encourage students to look for connections between words (see worksheet on page 9). The exercises and activities in this workbook have all been grouped into sections. These sections practise different elements of medical vocabulary, enabling the student to gain a fuller understanding of the words learnt | VOCABULARY WORKBOOK CHECK YOUR ENGLISH VOCABULARY FOR Medicine Third Edition All you need to improve your vocabulary CHECK YOUR ENGLISH VOCABULARY FOR MEDICINE third edition A C Black London First published in Great Britain 1995 Second edition published 2000 Third edition published 2006 A C Black Publishers Ltd 38 Soho Square London W1D 3HB Peter Collin Publishing 1995 2000 A C Black Publishers Ltd 2006 All rights reserved.
