1 Think about everything you (should) have learnt by now... ;) The exercise on the following slide comprises many terms from units covered so far. There are many more terms that could be added to the list. Sorting the terms out, assigning them to specific topics will help you rebuild a meaningful context for each word on the list, and this will support your vocabulary learning. For additional practice you can always carefully read our materials, single out important professional terms and write them up in a list without any order. You then let the list lie for a while and then try to group the terms according to topic.
