I. STRESS
This section asks you to identify which word has a different stress pattern from the others.
1. A. social (so-CIAL) — Stress on 2nd syllable
B. facial (FA-cial) — Stress on 1st syllable
C. media (ME-di-a) — Stress on 1st syllable
D. expression (ex-PRES-sion) — Stress on 2nd syllable
*Explanation:* "Facial" and "media" are stressed on the first syllable, while "social" and "expression" are stressed on the second. The question likely wants the odd one out based on common patterns or a specific rule. However, both B and C have stress on the first syllable, while A and D have it on the second. Since only one answer is expected, and "facial" is the only one ending in "-ial" with first-syllable stress among these, but actually, "media" also has first-syllable stress. Let’s re-check: In standard American English, "social" is /ˈsoʊʃəl/ (stress 1st), "facial" is /ˈfeɪʃəl/ (stress 1st), "media" is /ˈmiːdiə/ (stress 1st), "expression" is /ɪkˈspreshn/ (stress 2nd). So D. expression is the odd one out — it’s the only one with stress on the second syllable. This is the most logical answer.
✔ Answer: D. expression
2. A. message (MES-sage) — Stress on 1st syllable
B. email (E-mail) — Stress on 1st syllable
C. letter (LET-ter) — Stress on 1st syllable
D. instant (IN-stant) — Stress on 1st syllable
*Explanation:* All four words have stress on the first syllable. This might be a trick question, or perhaps the intended answer is based on a different pronunciation. But in standard usage, all are first-syllable stressed. However, sometimes "email" can be pronounced with secondary stress on the second syllable, but primary is still first. Given the options, there's no clear odd one out. But if we consider that "instant" can sometimes be used as an adjective with different stress in phrases, but not here. Perhaps the test considers "email" as having a slightly different rhythm? Actually, looking again, maybe it's a mistake, or perhaps "instant" is meant to be contrasted because it’s often used as an adjective. But logically, all are similar. Wait — perhaps the question is about syllable count? "Message", "email", "letter" are 2 syllables; "instant" is 2 syllables too. Hmm. Another possibility: in some contexts, "email" is considered to have stress on the second syllable by some speakers, but that’s non-standard. I think this might be an error, but if forced, perhaps D. instant is chosen because it’s the only one that can’t be a noun referring to a form of written communication? But that’s not about stress. Let’s stick to stress: All are first-syllable stressed. But since the worksheet expects an answer, and in many ESL materials, "instant" is sometimes grouped differently, I’ll go with D. instant as the least fitting, though it’s debatable.
Actually, upon double-checking standard stress patterns:
- message: /ˈmesɪdʒ/ — 1st syllable
- email: /ˈiːmeɪl/ — 1st syllable
- letter: /ˈletər/ — 1st syllable
- instant: /ˈɪnstənt/ — 1st syllable
All are the same. Perhaps the question is misprinted. But in many such exercises, "instant" is chosen as the answer because it’s the only one that doesn’t refer to a type of message. But the section is "STRESS". Maybe it’s a trick. I’ll assume D. instant is the intended answer, perhaps because it’s the only one with three syllables? No, "message" and "letter" are two, "email" is two, "instant" is two. "Instant" has 2 syllables. I think there’s an error, but for the sake of completing, I’ll say D. instant is the answer, as it’s the only one that can be an adjective primarily.
Alternatively, perhaps "email" is considered to have stress on the second syllable in some dialects, but that’s incorrect. I’ll go with D. instant as the answer, assuming the test maker intended it to be different.
✔ Answer: D. instant (with reservation)
3. A. conference (CON-fer-ence) — Stress on 1st syllable
B. communicate (com-MU-ni-cate) — Stress on 2nd syllable
C. expression (ex-PRES-sion) — Stress on 2nd syllable
D. telepathy (te-LE-path-y) — Stress on 2nd syllable
*Explanation:* "Conference" has stress on the first syllable, while the other three have stress on the second syllable. So "conference" is the odd one out.
✔ Answer: A. conference

Verbs: leave, make, post, send, take

4. I’m just going out to post an important letter.
*Explanation:* We "post" a letter (especially in British English; in American English, "mail" is more common, but "post" is acceptable and fits the context).
5. It’s Mai’s birthday on Sunday. Don’t forget to send her a card.
*Explanation:* We "send" a card (by mail or electronically).

1. make

*Explanation:* "Instantly" is the adverb form, modifying the verb "sent and received".
2. I prefer texting to making a phone call. (text)
*Explanation:* After "prefer", we use the gerund (verb + ing) form. "Texting" is the gerund of "text".
3. Facial expression can show a person’s feeling. (express)
*Explanation:* "Expression" is the noun form. "Facial expression" is a compound noun.
4. She is very communicative. She often makes friends on social networks. (communicate)

5. What is the most popular form of communication? (communicate)
