The aim of this activity is to make students infer the category of the words put between brackets and to
use appropriate suffixes to form the words that correspond to each of the categories. Before setting the
students to task , you can give them an example to illustrate what is expected of them in doing the
activity. Above all, show them the strategy of how they can infer the categories of words from the
different sentences of the text.
Marxism is an economic and political theory developed by Karl Marx. This theory claims that class
struggle has been the major force behind historical change. Marxism believes that the exploited classes
will put an end to capitalism and establish a socialist and a classless society in its stead.
The first country in the world to adopt the socialist doctrine was Russia. It was in 1917 that the
Bolsheviks took power there. The Bolshevik party was a revolutionary and marxist party. It abolished the
feudalism of the tsarist regime and put in its place a communist system. The fall of the Berlin Wall in
1989 marked the end of the Cold War and the failure of state communism and the adoption of liberalism
in Russia. (Please correct the use of tense as indicated in bold.)

book.
