🧠 Vocabulary Challenge — Unit 2
Jobs, school, and life abroad — all the Unit 2 words, put to work.
🌳 Word families
Many Unit 2 words belong to a "family" — the same idea, different word forms. Examples:
success → succeed → successful · communicate → communication
Find at least 10 word families from the Unit 2 list (a noun, verb, and/or adjective form of the same idea). Write one family per line.
🗂️ Meaningful categories
Words aren't just nouns, verbs, or adjectives — they also belong to topics. Match each word below to the topic it fits best.
✍️ Context sentences
Write one sentence for each word below. Rules:
- At least 8 words long
- The meaning of the word must be clear from the context
Example for "punctual": You should always be punctual, so arrive a few minutes before the interview starts.
apprenticeship
self-employed
spontaneous
reservation
personal statement
sustainability
🔗 Collocations
Some words almost always appear together — these pairings are called collocations. Match each word to the ending that usually follows it.
Example: provide + accommodation, not provide + a house.
🎙️ Speaking task
Work with a partner. Draw 5 random words and have a short conversation that uses all 5 — out loud, no writing during the conversation itself.
Example draw: apprenticeship – convince – flexible – colleague – punctual.
Which 5 words did you get, and who was your partner?
🎨 Creative task
Choose one option and write your text below. Say at the start which option you picked.
Option A — "My dream job" (150–200 words). Use at least 15 Unit 2 vocabulary words.
Option B — "A volunteering trip abroad" (150–200 words). Use at least these words: host, accommodation, expat, welcome, communication, patience, arrange.
📰 Final transfer task
Write a short newspaper article or blog post. It must use:
- at least 10 nouns
- at least 5 verbs
- at least 5 adjectives/adverbs
You can't highlight colours in this text box — instead, list the words you used underneath your text.
List the words you used: 10 nouns, 5 verbs, 5 adjectives/adverbs.
Submit your work
Enter your name and class, then submit.
Well done
That's the whole Unit 2 word list put to work — nice job.
