Content words
Content words are words that have meaning. They can be compared to grammatical words, which are structural. Nouns, main verbs, adjectives and adverbs are usually content words. Auxiliary verbs, pronouns, articles, and prepositions are usually grammatical words.
Example
‘We flew over the mountains at dawn'.
In the classroomThere is an important difference in pronunciation between content and grammatical words. Content words tend to be stressed and grammatical words are often pronounced in a reduced form or with a schwa sound. Practice of this can be provided in listening comprehension activities that require learners to reconstruct what they have heard.
Content words are called lexical words, stressed words or prominent words. They are main verbs, nouns, adjectives and adverbs. Prominent words are usually the words that speaker sees as the most important in a sentence.
When we speak we give more emphasis to some parts of an utterance than to others. We can make syllable stand out with respect to its neighbouring syllables in a word, and some words stand out with respect to the rest of the words in a longer utterance.
Add your example of a sentence with content words below. Put the content words in bold.

As far as I know,taking exams is an important part of our lives,and they will be like that because we, as teachers, need to be in the right track ,the way of enriching our professions and careers.
I have taken many exams in my life.I remember the ones I used to take when I was studying English in primary school.I also remember the exams I used to take when I was at the Colegio Militar De La Nacion, they were really really hard.They consist of academic skills and P.E exams.Very hard.
At the moment,I am preparing myself for the T.K.T exam which is quite relevant for me, this will give international support to my teaching prospects and profession.I cannot wait till the exam,I am eager to take it ,hopefully we will all pass it,and that will be extremely good for our careers.
I have also taken the Michigan exam while I was working in Bolivia,It was ok, I got 80 marks out of 100 I think. It was a fine at that moment of my life,considering the fact that I had drop Lola Mora for working.
It was ok.
That's all I believe.

ENTRY 57 Practice activities: I like drills.
I have done drills,both as a learner and as a teacher.I far as I know,drills are a nice way of engaging and motivating my students.They like to listen to somebody speaking English.Moreover,my students like to repeat the sentences or words I choose for them.
Regarding disadvantages,for instance,I believe that sometimes my students get the idea of being embarrassed in that part of the class.They claim that they feel extremely uneasy ,or/and they start to misbehave during the activity,or to pronounce stupid sounds,silly things.
Apart from that,everything works properly for me.
Enrique.
