Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and technical at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about “Important Letters” but no doubt your teachers will talk about the “Everyday Abbreviations”! If you hear a technical term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
Important letters are those used in everyday abbreviations, such as VIP and BBC.
You may have thought, from the title of this quiz, that it was about major messages that might be sent to you through the post. But here, 'important letters' could also be the initial letters of the names of organisations etc. ~ that most English people would use as a short version in everyday conversation.
How many of these every day abbreviations will you be able to recognise or work out, we wonder?
The others offered here are: the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Answer 1), the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (3) and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (4) ... each a very worthy organisation. From this you may fairly confidently infer that an organisation whose initials begin 'RS ...' will be a Royal Society, and an 'NS...' will be a national group of some sort. (The RNLI is both Royal and National, of course.)
