Sevgili Dostlar;

Bu çalışmada 2013 İlkbahar YDS

sorularında geçen belirli bir seviyenin
üzerindeki kelimelere yer verdim.
Kelimelerin Türkçe karşılıklarının yanı sıra
İngilizce karşılıklarını verdim. Kelime
çalışmalarında İngilizce’den İngilizce’ye
çalışmanın daha verimli ve kalıcı olacağı
kanısındayım. Bilindiği üzere bu kelimeler
YDS sorularında da karışımıza çıkmaktadır.
Bu çalışmayla kelime bilgisini
güçlendirmeyi ve pekiştirmeyi ama çladım.
Fırsat bulursam yaptığım diğer çalışmaları
burada paylaşacağım. Sağlıcakla kalın.

Herkese iyi çalışmalar dilerim.
