Students often find this vocabulary really difficult to learn and understand. Here I try to present the vocabulary in a slightly different way and give the students a chance to practise the personal qualities in games.
And now it is high time to practise the new vocabulary in games.
come or come along? Would you please tell me what "along" mean here? or why do not you say only come not come along?what is the difference? Example : Native to North America, the roots of Echinacea, or purple coneflower , had been used by the Indians for all kinds of ailments long before Meyer came along. It is the third one - 'appear'
come along 1. To make advances to a goal; progress: Things are coming along fine. 2. To go with someone else who takes the lead: I'll come along on the hike. 3. To show up; appear: Don't take the first offer that comes along. - Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. - Einstein 09-12-2013
Furniture vocabulary is one of the easier areas of vocabulary for learners of English. However, I think that it never hurts if the students experience some success.
Start your learning with a vocabulary film. Listen and repeat the words and then say the English word for the furniture that you see in the picture.
Enrich your vocubulary - Level B2+A: I can't believe that Martin still commutes to London every day: it's an awful journey.B: I know. But apparently he really likes his job. And presumably he earns a lot more working in London.A: Yeah, I guess so . But ultimately I think he does it for his career, not the money.b: Well, to be perfectly honest, I think he's mad.A: Yes, it's obviously not what we would choose. You want to be able to spend time with your family, naturally, and I wouldn't commute to London because... well, basically I'm too lazy. But Martin's different. His career means practically everything to him.B: True. But strangely enough, he wasn't all that ambitious when we were at school.apparently - according to what you have heard or read. Synonym - evidently.presumably - used to say that you think something is probably true. ultimately - finally, when everything has been considered. to be (perfectly) honest - used when saying what you really think about something. SYN. - frankly,personally.obviously - used when giving information that you expect other people to know already or agree with. SYN-clearly.naturally - used to say that something is normal and not surprising. SYN. - of coursebasically - used when giving the most important fact, SYN. - essentiallypractically - almost. SYN. - virtuallystrangely (enough) - used to show that something is surprising, SYN. - oddly/curiously (enough).Replace the underlined word(s) with another word or phrase that keeps the same meaning. 1. Sharon rang a couple of minutes ago. Apparently, the others missed the train. _________________ 2. They said the restaurant was always busy, but surprisingly it was almost empty. ______________ 3.
