Mid-Term Exam

Welcome to our exam. Below is a list of 20 words. Please use each of them in a sentence so that I can see clearly that you understand what the word means.

For example, let's take the word "chicken":
If you write "I see a chicken.", that's bad, because I'm not sure you understand the word "chicken'.

However, if you write "I went to McDonald's, but instead of eating a poison hamburger I ate some poison Chicken McNuggets.", that's good, because I see clearly that you know what "chicken" means. OK?

The grading is as follows: each sentence is worth 5 points -> 2 for the meaning, and 3 for the "correctness" of the sentence.

For example, if your sentence was:
"I went to McDonald's, but instead of eat the poison hamburgers I ate the poison Chicken McNuggets.", you would not get 5 points, but only 4, because the word "eat" is wrong; it should be "eating". 

(This doesn't mean that each mistake is -1; it depends on the problem: grammar mistakes are -1, "wrong word" -1, punctuation  -.5, spelling -.5, etc.)

Now, please do the test, and send it to me via email like the essays. Clicking the postman will open the email window.
