It may help you to remember new collocations if you organise them around topic areas. The three exercises in this section have practised collocations to describe 'health', 'money' and 'people'. Keep records under other topic areas such as:
Travel: 'a long weekend', 'a short break', 'tourist trap' etc.
Education: 'a mature student', 'a subject specialist', 'tuition fees' etc.
Weather: 'sunny spells', 'mild climate', 'flash flood' etc.
