Check the written vowel, not only its sound.
Review deliberate, cemetery, desperate, fluorescent, abundance and convenient by marking the exact vowel positions that differ between options.
Six original recognition items each count one correct choice. Your count out of six describes these words on this attempt, not a percentile, school grade, CEFR level or writing score. Every answer and this complete guide are free at every count.
Six individual written forms
These items check vowel letters within six chosen words. Deliberate and desperate require attention to their middle vowels; cemetery contains e at three positions before y. Fluorescent begins fluor, abundance ends ance, and convenient contains enient after v. The group is an editorial review aid. It is not a claim that vowels with similar sounds always use the same letters.
Use a position check for cemetery
Write c e m e t e r y with a space between letters. Circle the e after c, after m and after t. Now compare the offered alternatives at those same positions. Replacing the last of these e letters with a changes this target spelling. The check concerns this word; it is not a general rule for every place name or every word ending in ery.
Locate a difference before choosing a reason
In fluorescent, u precedes o; later letters retain sc and e. In convenient, the sequence after v is enient, including i. Saying that an option merely looks unfamiliar does not identify the spelling difference. Read the key alongside your selected option and name the actual deletion, substitution or reversal. The sentence supplies meaning context but cannot make an incorrect displayed form correct.
Practise without the visible options
Pick one word you missed and write a short original sentence using it. Put the correct form away before writing, then check against the dictionary form or this explanation. Keep a small note of the precise letter position you changed. Repeat with another word on a later occasion. No improvement rate or guaranteed learning time is established for this suggested routine.
A spelling count is not a vocabulary level
Recognising one of four forms differs from producing the word while writing. Familiarity with these particular words, previous exposure and checking aids can affect the count. The set does not estimate vocabulary size, reading age, CEFR level or spoken proficiency. Chinese instructions leave the English stimuli unchanged; they do not convert this into a Chinese spelling test or establish cross-language equivalence.
