Vocabulary: 1- Watch your spelling: LISTENING/ READING/ WRITING (dump and dumb)
Three statistics/ I am of the belief that…(belief not believe)/ receive
points I BELIEVE THAT…/ I AM OF THE BELIEF (BELIEVE)

2- Study collocation: (https://www.freecollocation.com/)

Examples: (friends go together)
(waste-throw time) / (make-do mistakes) / (to launch- create) a campaign.

providing a variety of vocabulary. Here are two of them:
A- synonyms: children: kids and offspring (remember formal and informal vocab)
friends: companions and buddies (formal vs informal)
(https://www.thesaurus.com)
B- definition: if you can’t find a synonym, define the word:
parents: fathers and mothers
children: sons and daughters
pollution: throwing waste into the water, soil and air.
