King Arthur/Working with Words

Task

It's important to learn the new vocabulary. But it's not enough to learn their German meanings. In a test you have to work with them actively.
Mostly you have to find synonyms or opposites.
Sometimes you have to retell a story where some words are missing (gap-filling). Sometimes every tenth (or even fifth) word is missing.

Do the interactive quizzes.
Take your English book and revise the words. Sometimes synonyms are given in the right column - sometimes you have to find them on your own.
