Dear Adv. students as you know it's very important to increasae your vocabulary, so from now on you have to give the meaning plus an example for each new word in each lesson, be careful, because first you have to get the meaning from the context where you find it (your student's book or workbook) then you can look it up in a dictionary or surf the internet, it's up to you.
You can also write a story and include all the new words in it; the best you do, the highest grade you get. Don't write your classmate's examples. It isn't worth.
