In this week's vocabulary lesson, we explore a dynamic range of words that enhance our language skills. From the 'abject' condition of a stray cat in a dirty alley to the 'acute' hearing of Mrs. Phillips, each term paints a vivid picture. Discover the ‘agile’ nature of Arya as she swiftly escapes the candy shop, and the significance of something being 'askew' in the museum. We'll delve into rhythm with 'cadence,' investigate 'etymology,' and examine social interactions with 'fawn.' Lastly, we'll assess the 'feasible' and 'intermittent' phenomena before wrapping up with observable classroom behavior through the word 'sporadic.'
E N D
Abject The poor cat looked abject as it skulked across the dirty alley floor looking for some dead mice.
Acute Mrs. Phillips’ hearing was so acute that she could hear Bobby talking all the way in the lunchroom. Bobby
Agile Arya grabbed the candy bar and dashed out of the candy shop as agile as a cat.
Askew When the museum guards came back from their lunch they noticed one of the paintings was askew, bringing into suspicion Gerald, the only man who stayed in the watch room.
Cadence The experienced members of the marching band marched in time to the cadence, while the newbies stumbled along trying to keep in step.
Etymology Maryse swore up and down that the etymology of chair came from Old Norse, but Karen knew for a fact that it was Old French.
Fawn Once Sansa walked into the room all the boys fawned over her, but she was immune to their empty compliments.
Feasible Martin judged that jumping from the roof of the school and running into the woods was fairly feasible, if one had a trampoline.
Intermittent The spaceship’s laser beam was very intermittent; it stopped all the time while the aliens were trying to pick up a cow!
Sporadic Sometimes in class Bobby would sporadically get up and blow his nose, then do a jig on the way to his seat.
