The point of this exercise it to recognise that any vocabulary you find in any article belongs to a lexical set (a vocabulary topic). If you know which lexical sets you can find in an article, you should be able to guess the general meaning of unknown vocabulary more easily. Paying attention to lexical sets should also help you to use vocabulary more accurately.Here, I've divided a newspaper article into different lexical sets. All you have to do is decide what each lexical set is. The class handout can be downloaded here.
