Resource Objective & Content

The objective is to reinforce and broaden the knowledge of high-frequency adjectives by identifying their direct synonyms, to enable students to vary their vocabulary.

The document is a synonym-matching exercise focused on general adjectives ("General Adjectives - 1"). Students must connect eight pairs of words with similar meanings. The vocabulary includes fundamental pairs such as bad/awful, good/fine, quick/fast, difficult/hard, correct/right, wrong/false, simple/easy, and strange/unusual. This activity ensures that students not only master the meaning of these essential words but can also use alternatives to avoid repetition.


Suggested Procedure

Before the activity (~5 min): OPPOSITES GAME

  • Write a few adjectives from the list on the board (e.g., good, fast, wrong, simple) and ask students to find their antonyms (opposites). This helps to activate the lexical field indirectly.

During the activity (~5-10 min): FIND THE PAIRS

  • Distribute the worksheet. Students, individually or in pairs, connect the synonym pairs.

  • Lead a collective correction. Take the opportunity to discuss nuances of intensity (e.g., awful is often stronger than bad).

After the activity (~10 min): REPHRASING EXERCISE

  • Give students simple sentences containing an adjective from the first column (e.g., "This exercise is simple.", "Your answer is correct.").

  • Ask them to rephrase each sentence using the corresponding synonym from the second column ("This exercise is easy.", "Your answer is right.").

Adaptations

  • To simplify: Complete the first two or three pairs as a large group. For polysemous words like right, guide students towards the meaning of "correct".

  • To deepen: Challenge students to use at least five of the adjectives (one from each pair if possible) to write a short paragraph describing their day or a movie they have seen.
