Answer Key
1 A lot of scientific language comes from the Greek and Latin languages.
2 Forming plurals is different in scientific writing because many of them are irregular. Instead of using common plural endings such as -s, -es or -ies,
scientific words often end with -i, -a, or -ae in the plural.
3 The characteristics of scientific texts include use of the passive voice, statistics and objective statements.
4 The writer feels that learning technical vocabulary can be difficult, but that lots of people find it tricky and so should practise and not give up.
• Refer Ss to the Check these words box and ask Ss to look them up in the Word List.
• Play the video for Ss and elicit their comments.
