WORD FORMATION INTERMEDIATE

1. Our Changing Way of Life

Change happens (CONSTANT) as the last 50 years have proved. Some changes,
such as air travel, the Internet and mobile phones, provide ease and (CONVENIENT) .
Others, like access to education, have had a deeper impact.
Nothing has had a bigger influence on our lives than recent changes in education. Fifty years ago,
education was considered by some an (NECESSARY) luxury. Nowadays, however,
education isn't just a privilege for the (CHOOSE) few. Young men and women from all areas
of life are becoming (PROFESSION) and improving their quality of life. This will
be (BENEFIT) to future generations because a better-educated society is a fairer and more
skilled one.
(IRONY) , however, the change from rural to urban living that drove people to cities
in search of better opportunities has led to several modem-day problems. City dwellers have
become less (HEALTH). They no longer eat fresh farm food, and instead, prefer ready meals
and fast food. Urban (RESIDE) no longer exercise by working the land. They use their cars
instead of walking.
Even though we are so (TECHNOLOGY) advanced, we are also (FOOL).
We destroy our forests, build more cars and roads, and eat rubbish.
(ENVIRONMENT) will all tell you that the future looks bleak.More change is on the way and, unless
we change the way we think, the next fifty years will be very difficult.

4. A trip to southwestern Germany

 The (FAME) Black Forest and the picturesque town of Baden Baden are in south-western

Germany. I went there recently in search of a (PEACE), relaxing holiday and I

(CERTAIN) wasn't disappointed.

The town is surrounded by (MARVEL) scenery, clear lakes and tall mountains. The
weather during my visit was so cool and (MIST) that it created a wonderfully
(MYSTERY) atmosphere.
There are plenty of interesting places to visit including the town's (DELIGHT) 15th century
palace and the Roman baths. I also explored the (SHADE) Black Forest where all I could hear
was the gentle sound of (FLOW) streams.
The food was excellent. I tried several (TASTE) local dishes. I also bought some cuckoo
clocks as souvenirs.
I had the holiday of a lifetime in Baden Baden. With its (FRIEND) people,
and (FANTASY) natural (SURROUNDINGS) , I would certainly recommend it to
