You cant do that in the actual exam but its useful to look up words you dont understand when practicing.

Yea but sometimes looking at the dictionary doesn really tell you how strong the word is if you get what im saying.

Reading is helpful because 1) it improves your reading speed 2) if ur reading novels ull be getting better at understanding how certain characters in the text feel.

just read complicated science books and try to understand the info without looking back. o.O. thats what i do anyways

watch a movie like i am sam,, btw bond ap what skool did u go to mate?

You could also watch Rain Man. There's plenty of other movies/books that deals with needing to understand the perspective of characters.

I think the point of Section 2 is to show that you can empathise as well as sympathise. The only way to really understand someone's view is to experience their situation for yourself. Eh... beats me.
