Worst Snack Ever...

Hi there,

Some of us are going over some vocabulary related to food. Now, in order to answer this blog, you'll have to go back to your school days.

Boy forced to eat peasImagine those days in which you carried your backpack and your lunchbox to school. Yes, let's go back to those memories. It's Monday around 10:00 am. First recess is coming. Of course, you had a simple breakfast and you rushed out from home. You're hungry. . You come out to the school patio. You sit down on your favorite spot, and you open your lunch box.... oh no! it's the worst snack ever...


Tell us what you see, what was the worst snack you ever had?... did you eat it?

Thanks for sharing. Hope you're not so hungry now! (If not, grab something to eat now!)

Have a great week.

Word Hunt…

I hope you had a great week so far. I would like you to please take your time to do this for yourself.

We learn words from texts. The more words you know, the more accurate your language becomes. In order to get more vocabulary, you must use your critical thinking to introduce it as part of your vocabulary mental list.

I would like you to pick up whichever book, magazine, online article, novel… or any text written in English and find the following:
  • -          One word which you don’t know + its meaning.
  • -          One word you already know + two synonyms.
  • -          One useful expression. Write a sentence changing the context.

Have fun and enjoy the reading. Remember you can take this exercise as far as you want, so please feel free to find more words and share them with us!
Thanks,

DD
