Learning basic English words for school and studying helps you talk about your classes and daily academic life. These words are very important for A1 learners. They help you understand what happens at school or university. For example, you will learn words like exam (a test), notes (things you write to remember), and break (a short rest). Knowing these words makes it easier to communicate with teachers and classmates. It also helps you understand study materials in English. This lesson will teach you seven common words: break, timetable, notes, marks, term, exam, e studies. Master these to improve your everyday English conversations about education.

What is a break?

A break is a short time when you stop working or studying to rest.

It is a good time to relax before you start again.
