Junior Explorer 4, Test Unit 4 covers key English grammar and vocabulary. The main focus is on understanding and using different tenses and expanding your word knowledge related to everyday life.
Let's break down the core areas:
First, Past Simple vs. Past Continuous. Past Simple describes completed actions in the past. Example: "I watched TV yesterday." Past Continuous describes actions in progress at a specific time in the past. Example: "I was watching TV at 8 pm yesterday." Think of Past Simple as a snapshot and Past Continuous as a movie clip.
Next, Vocabulary related to travel and holidays. This includes words like: airport, hotel, beach, sightseeing, souvenir. You should be able to use these words to describe your own holiday experiences or understand travel-related texts.
Another important aspect is understanding and using time expressions correctly. These are words or phrases that show when something happened. Examples include: yesterday, last week, ago, when, while. Using these correctly helps to clarify the sequence of events in your sentences.
Finally, the test might include questions about understanding short reading passages. These passages could be about a trip someone took, a past event, or a description of a place. The key is to read carefully and look for specific information to answer the questions.
To prepare for Test Unit 4, practice using Past Simple and Past Continuous in sentences. Learn new vocabulary related to travel and holidays. Pay attention to time expressions when reading and writing. By focusing on these areas, you'll be well-prepared to succeed!
