4. Write a reflection (your thoughts) on the quote using 20 words from Units 8, 9 and 10 ("English Vocabulary in Use Upper-Intermediate") pp. 16-21. You can use words provided or those of your own containing given affixes or roots (which means you have a great choice of words, just remember to highlight them!).
