Note On The Topic

  1. Get to know the reason why English has the largest vocabulary in the world;

  2. Be aware of the majority of the English lexicon of which items are high-frequency and which are not and which lexicon items may be needed for active production when writing and speaking as opposed to lexical items only needed for recognition when listening and reading;

  3. Create your own compound words in the final activity.
