New World 3 Grammar and Vocabulary Booster

Mit diesem Arbeitsheft kannst du die Sprachstrukturen üben, die du in

den Englischlektionen gelernt hast und deinen Englischwortschatz

festigen und erweitern.

Du arbeitest wahrscheinlich selbstständig

und ohne fremde Hilfe mit diesem Heft. Hier

ein paar Hinweise, bevor du beginnst.

Grammar review

Dieser Teil bezieht sich auf die Grammatik,

die du im Language focus in My Resources

kennnengelernt und in der Unit geübt hast.

Grammar plus

Hier findest du zusätzliche Aspekte zur

Grammatik, die du in den Lektionen nicht

ausdrücklich geübt hast.

Vocabulary training

Dieser Teil gibt dir die Möglichkeit das Class

vocabulary zu üben. Er enthält auch Wörter,

denen du ab und zu begegnet bist sowie

einige neue Wörter. So kannst du deinen

Grundwortschatz erweitern.

The English you know!

Am Schluss kannst du zeigen, was du gelernt

hast. Die Aufgaben in diesem Teil nehmen

die wichtigsten Themen nochmals auf.

Notiere dir, wie viele Punkte du machst.

Du hast einen separaten Schlüssel mit allen

Lösungen.

3Booster

Oft findest du Tipps, ab wann du eine Übung im Booster machen

kannst. Versuche nicht, diese Übungen früher zu lösen. Das bereitet dir

Probleme, da du auf Dinge stösst, die du noch nicht verstehst. Keine

gute Idee!

Es ist sehr wichtig, dass du die Übungen in

der vorgegebenen Reihenfolge machst. Eine

spätere Übung bezieht sich oft auf eine

vorangegangene.

Du musst nicht alle Übungen auf einmal

lösen. Verteile die Aufgaben auf mehrere

Tage. Überlaste dich nicht.

Lies die Aufgabe immer sorgfältig durch,

bevor du mit einer Übung beginnst.

Wenn du willst, dass dieses Arbeitsheft ordentlich und sauber aussieht,

kannst du die Antworten zuerst auf ein Blatt Papier schreiben. Danach

kontrollierst du sie mit Hilfe des Schlüssels und trägst sie ins Heft ein.

Der Booster hilft dir beim Lernen. Viel Spass und Erfolg wünscht dir
