Assalamualaikum.
My first class for today is an English class. And yet, we're discussing about SAT and TOEFL questions on sentence completion exercises. I feel like I was alone in the big jungle without knowing any direction. Oh no. I only manage to score 3 upon 12. Awful! The word unfamiliar. So these are some of the words:
1. Disdain
-a feeling of strong dislike or disapproval of someone or something
-Synonyms: contemptuousness, despisement, despite, despitefulness, contempt, misprision
They disdained him for being annoyed.
2. Approbation
- praise or approval
- Synonyms: approval, blessing, favor, imprimatur
Her art works had an approbation whereas it being framed and hang at the student's board.
3. Reverence
-honor or respect
- Synonyms: adore, deify, glorify, revere, worship, venerate
I treat her with reverence as she had saved my entire life from that bad guy.
4. Trudge
- to walk slowly and heavily because you are tired or working very hard
- Synonyms: barge, clomp, clump, flog [British], flounder, galumph, lump, plod, pound, scuff, scuffle, shamble, shuffle, slog, slough, stamp, stomp, stumble, stump, tramp, tromp, lumber
I'm worried of the evolution of technologies nowadays. It is not as trudge like the ancient years. Well, technologies can be dangerous for us if we are not using it in the right way.
5. Taciturn
- tending to be quiet / not speaking frequently
- Synonyms: closemouthed, dumb, laconic, reserved, reticent, silent, tight-lipped, uncommunicative
Her characteristic at house turn to be a taciturn person while at the school she is a blabby girl.
Oh btw, regarding the SAT and TOEFL test, we're given some tips from Husni!!!!! He had experienced the difficulties of the test. So he recommends us to add synonym words that we learned as we can know as many word at one time.
See. More than 10 words per day!
Chiao!
