yes, that's the reason why I uploaded the file to share with all our netpals over our site. I plan to make two or three vocabulary lists , i.e. one of michael west (1957), one of paul nation's new academic vocabulary list( 2000), one from the vocabulary list provided by listeningexpress.com. and make some comparison between these three lists esp. the first two time-honored vocabulary lists. are there differences between the choice of the words, and so on? what are they?how do you thinks about the idea?
