For example:
* Fast food, not quick food.
* A quick shower, not a fast shower.
Using collocations correctly will allow you to sound more natural, as well as being more easily understood. So what do you say we do some practice? :)
From 5th September to 25th November, students will be attending the Lexis English Perth Evening Cambridge FCE class. This blog will provide daily updates in the form of useful links, information, tips or exercises to supplement their class work.

MORE COLLOCATIONS! (because you can never know too many)
As you probably already know, 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. If used incorrectly, they sound "wrong".
For example:
* Fast food, not quick food.
* A quick shower, not a fast shower.
Using collocations correctly will allow you to sound more natural, as well as being more easily understood. So what do you say we do some practice? :)
