Synonyms & Antonyms Activity 同义词反义词活动
In this activity you will work in teams to earn as many points as you can. The team with the most points wins, but make sure you work in secret so you don’t accidentally share your answers with the other teams that you are competing with.
这是小组活动，尽可能赢更多的分。得分最多的小组获胜，同时要保护好你们小组的答案不要与其他的组分享。
Instruction 说明
Using your ‘TOEFL Dictionary’ you will need to find as many ‘synonyms’ as you can. The more ‘synonyms’ you find the more points you will earn, but you can lose points by lying about the words you find as well.
在你的“托福字典”中找同义词，找的越多得分越高，如有作弊则会扣分。
Synonym /ˈsɪnənɪm/ | 同义词 /tóngyìcí/
a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language.
同一种语言中意义相同或相近的词。
Recommendations 建议
You should assign tasks to each person so you can maximize how much work you can get done during a single class period. Someone with good hand writing should be in-charge of keeping a master list of all of the ‘synonyms’ that your team finds. You are also more likely to earn more points if each person tries to find a different group of ‘synonyms’ to share with the entire team; however, if you are dividing the work up among the different members of your team it will be important that you make sure everyone knows what they are looking for. You don’t want multiple people in your team to come up with a nearly identical group of ‘synonyms’.
给每个人分配任务，最大限度地有效利用课堂时间。字迹好看的学生可以担任写的任务。 每个人可以分配不同的词，以避免出现很多重复的同义词，同时也大大提高得分的几率。
