ing the self-testing exercise carefully, try to see how many 

 of the blanks you can fill in. After you have done all you 

 can, go to your teacher and see how many words you have

 can fill in all the blanks. Do not give up until you can

 self-testing exercise, checking up with your teacher to 

 see where you are wrong. Then go back to the text and 

 see what it is that you did not understand. These tests 

 should help you greatly if you use them in the manner 

 just suggested.
