academic vocabulary


Today i continue to enrich my academic vocabulary in 'Essential academic vocabulary' of Helen Huntley, especially useful phrase. I want to know which verb comes with suitable noun together. Here is what i found:

1. analyze the data
2. conceptualize (verb) form an idea or principle in your mind
concept (n)
Ex: He argued that morality could be conceptualized (= thought about)
We conceptualize the idea for the project after discussing it in our group.
3. formulate / express (our own) opinions.
4.
occurrence (n) something that happens
occur (v)
ex: Street-fights are an everyday occurrence in this area of the city.
There was a strange occurrence in the dorm last night when all the lights suddenly went out.
5. experience period
It is normal for first-year students to
experience period homesicness during their first semester away from home.

But i am not sure this sentence i made is right.
