One of the most common types of grammatical error in Hong Kong students' English is called 'agreement'. Agreement means that the verb changes depending on the type of noun it refers to. See below for examples. The grammar rules for agreement are reasonably clear and simple, and therefore, because these mistakes are so common in Hong Kong students' English, you can show that your English is superior if you follow the rules on this page.

Pairs of images are presented in random order, initially with only their back visible. The user is required to match-up all of them in as few mouse clicks possible in order to win the game.
To play the user needs to direct your mouse and click on two separate instances of the card background. That will (when clicked upon) rotate and reveal two images. If those images are an exact match (an identical pair) they will remain on the screen while you can continue onto another pair, but if they are not they will rotate and hide again leaving you to test your luck and knowledge again. |

Welcome to 'Where to Next?', an interactive game that takes its users on a tour of six locations in the British Isles.
The rules are simple. Each location contains a group of English language questions and audio reports. Your 'tour' will involve listening to these audio reports and answering as many questions correctly as possible. Once you have finished a location you can progress to the next one on your tour.
But beware! You only have a limited amount of cash. With every wrong answer, you lose some cash, and if you lose it all you must start again!

We have created a new set of stimuli based on the widely used line drawings of Snodgrass and Vanderwart (1980). These 260 stimuli contain diagnostic texture and color information. Normative data (naming agreement and latencies, complexity, familiarity, imaginability) for these new stimuli have been collected (Rossion & Pourtois, 2004). Our data shows that surface information, color in particular, greatly facilitates object recognition.

If one were to take the 10,000 word Oxford Pocket English Dictionary and remove the redundancies of our rich language and eliminate the words that can be replaced by combinations of simpler words, we find that 90% of the concepts in that dictionary can be achieved with 850 words. The shortened list simplifies the effort to learn words, spelling, pronunciation, and irregularities. The rules of usage are identical to full English so that the practitioner communicates is perfectly good, yet simple, English.

lain text versions of the frequency lists contained in WFWSE. These are raw unedited frequency lists produced by our software and do not contain the many additional notes supplied in the book itself. The lists are tab delimited plain text so can be imported into your prefered spreadsheet format. For the main lists we provide a key to the columns. More details on the process undertaken in the preparation of the lists can be found in the introduction to the book. These lists show dispersion ranging between 0 and 1 rather than 0 and 100 as in the book. We multiplied the value by 100 and rounded to zero decimal places in the book for reasons of space. Log likelihood values are shown here to one decimal place rather than zero as in the book. |
