🧠 Vocabulary Challenge — Unit 4

Many Unit 4 words belong to a "family" — the same idea, different word forms. Examples:

marry → marriage · pollute → pollution

Words aren't just nouns, verbs, or adjectives — they also belong to topics. Match each word below to the topic it fits best.

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 "horoscope": In many arranged marriages, families check the horoscope before agreeing to the wedding.

Some words almost always appear together — these pairings are called collocations. Match each phrase to the ending that usually follows it.

Example: hire + a new employee, not hire + a new worker-person.

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: caste – equality – horoscope – employee – reasonable.

Choose one option and write your text below. Say at the start which option you picked.

Option A — "A day in the life of..." (150–200 words). Pick a person — a bride on her wedding day, a pilgrim, a call-centre employee — and use at least 15 Unit 4 vocabulary words.

Option B — "Arranged marriage: for or against?" (150–200 words). Use at least these words: bride, groom, horoscope, romantic, old-fashioned, equality.

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.
