Hello to all my Super A reading students,
How are you? Here is another word learning technique for you - seeing collocations.
Look at the picture above - buy tickets. "Buy" and "tickets" come together so often that we can think of them as a unit. This kind of unit is called a collocation - a word combination where one word often comes with another word in a pattern.
Ticket is a noun (名詞). Let's look at some more examples with ticket:
Ticket + other NOUN
Ticket price
infection
acupuncture
needle(s)
treatment(s)
Make a list of them for yourself in your notes, and share in the class next week.
See you next time!
