                 The list is probably connected to a lesson or lessons about time or a text about someone's
                 relationship with time. A possible organisation might include bringing the clock words together in
                 a word-map or bubble diagram (clock, wristwatch, hands, minute-hand); other words could then
                 be added later (hour-hand, faceldial, digital, etc.)
                 Tell the time and What time do you make it? could form a separate list of 'time phrases',  to which

                 Other testing systems include re-entering any word you have difficulty remembering, so that it
                 appears more than once in the notebook. Another useful discipline is to set yourself  a small, fixed
                 number of words to memorise each week, e.g. 20, and to tick them off in the book as you do
                 them. You could also take out any ten words from your book and put them on individual slips of
                 paper which you stick in prominent places around your room or house, e.g. on the fridge door, so
                 that you are regularly looking at them.
