We’re converting adjectives into nouns to fit grammatically in the sentence.

1. English is a language with great _flexibility_ — nouns, verbs and adjectives often share the same root word.

2. The play gave no thought to the _sensitivity_ of the audience.
→ *Sensitive* → Sensitivity (noun; refers to the capacity to be affected emotionally).

3. He insists on regular attendance and _punctuality_.
→ *Punctual* → Punctuality (noun; being on time).

4. They’ve described the incident as mindless _stupidity_.
→ *Stupid* → Stupidity (noun; lack of intelligence).

5. Country music is growing in _popularity_.
→ *Popular* → Popularity (noun; state of being popular).

6. Learning arts can help improve a child’s _creativity_.
→ *Creative* → Creativity (noun; ability to create).

## III. Fill in each gap with a suitable word or phrase

Choose from:
Dialects, Mother tongue, Translate, Look up, Pick up, Rusty, Get by, Accent

1. Don’t be too serious about your _accent_ — it doesn't matter if you sound like a non-native speaker.
→ *Accent* = way of pronouncing words; fits context of sounding like a non-native speaker.

2. Don’t worry about understanding every word, but read for the general meaning then go back and _look up_ new words.
→ *Look up* = to search for meaning (in dictionary or online).

3. I can speak basic French, so I can just about _get by_ in French.
→ *Get by* = manage with minimal ability.

4. Don’t _translate_ into English from your own language, but think in English to improve your fluency.
→ *Translate* = convert from one language to another; here, discouraged for fluency.

5. My father hasn’t used English for ages, so his English may be a little _rusty_.
→ *Rusty* = not sharp or fluent due to lack of use.

6. It’s easier for children to _pick up_ a language.
→ *Pick up* = learn informally or naturally (often used for languages).

7. My _mother tongue_ is Vietnamese. I can speak foreign languages such as English and Chinese.
→ *Mother tongue* = first language learned as a child.

8. There is greater variety of _dialects_ in Great Britain because the language developed over a millennium and a half.
→ *Dialects* = regional variations of a language.

✔ Answers:
1. accent
2. look up
3. get by
4. translate
5. rusty
6. pick up
7. mother tongue
8. dialects

## IV. Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first one

1. I think my IT skills are not good now because I have forgotten it.
→ *Rephrase:* My IT skills are a bit _out of practice_.
*(“Out of practice” means not used recently, so skills have declined — matches “forgotten”)*

✔ Alternative acceptable answers:
- _rusty_
- _not up to standard_
- _weakened_

But “out of practice” is the most natural and idiomatic match.

2. Paul’s father is English, and his mother comes from Italy.
→ *Rephrase:* I think Paul _has roots_ in English and Italian.
*(“Has roots in” = heritage or ancestry from those cultures/countries)*

✔ Other good options:
- _is of English and Italian descent_
- _comes from an English and Italian background_
- _has English and Italian heritage_

Best concise answer: has roots

✔ Final Answers for Section IV:
1. out of practice
2. has roots
