このテーマの全語です。定義を隠して、 よい意味・わるい意味・中立の三つに分けてみるのが、いちばん効く使い方です。 分け間違えた語が、そのまま自分の弱点になります。
Every word in this theme. The best use of it is to cover the meanings and sort the list into positive, negative and neutral. Whichever ones you put in the wrong pile are exactly your weak spots.
内訳：よい意味 4語 ／ わるい意味 17語 ／ 中立 20語。 強さはこのテーマの中での相対です—— テーマをまたいで比べる数字ではありません。
4 positive, 17 negative, 20 neutral. Strength is ranked within this theme only — the numbers are not comparable across themes.
