To be frank, l’m addicted to my car . When I asked a friend working for a green - living organisation for advice about how to give up , she told me five things :
Use your legs . In 2014, over 55% of car journeys were under eight kilometres . Instead of taking short car journeys , we could easily walk or cycle . Leg power can save your money , keep you fit and help you live longer . Regular exercise also cuts the risk of heart disease by 50%!

Grammar
We can call those expressions “air pollution, traffic jam, global warming, carbon monoxide, cancer, climate change, greenhouse gases, get stuck in traffic” ____________.
collocations
What is a collocation?
A collocation is two or more words that often go together. These combinations just sound “right” to native English speakers, who use them all the time. On the other hand, other combinations may be unnatural and just sound “wrong”. Look at these examples:
Natural English Unnatural English
the fast train
fast food the quick train
quick food
a quick shower
a quick meal a fast shower
a fast meal
Χ
Χ
Χ
Χ
36
Why do we learn collocations?
1) Our language will be more natural and more easily understood.
2) We will have alternative and richer ways of expressing ourselves.
3) It is easier for our brains to remember and use language in chunks or blocks rather than as single words.
Grammar
How do we learn collocations?
• Be aware of collocations, and try to recognize them when you see or hear them.
• Treat collocations as single blocks of language. Think of them as individual blocks or chunks, and learn strongly support, not strongly + support.
• When you learn a new word, write down other words that collocate with it (remember rightly, remember distinctly, remember vaguely, remember vividly).
Grammar
• Read as much as possible. Reading is an excellent way to learn vocabulary and collocations in context and naturally.
• Revise what you learn regularly. Practise using new collocations in context as soon as possible after learning them.
• Learn collocations in groups that work for you. You could learn them by topic (time, number, weather, money, family) or by a particular word
(take action, take a chance, take an exam).
• You can find information on collocations in any good learner’s dictionary. And you can also find specialized dictionaries of collocations.
Grammar
Types of collocation: there are several different types of collocation made from combinations of verb, noun, adjective etc.
Some of the most common types are:
adverb + adjective: completely satisfied
adjective + noun: severe pain
noun + noun: a surge of anger
noun + verb: lions roar
verb + noun: commit suicide
verb + expression with preposition: burst into tears
verb + adverb: wave eagerly
Grammar
Look at the Word Builder. Match the words (1-8) with the endings (a-h) to form common collocations. Then use the collocations to complete the summary.
