Good morning, dear students!
Today I have a very short article for you, but I think it will give you some very interesting vocabulary words and phrases! It should only take you 10-15 minutes to read through it, so no excuses!
By now, maybe you've heard of Cecil the lion. He was killed recently by a big-game hunter. Many people were outraged and saddened by his death. Delta Airlines has decided to ban big-game trophies on their planes as a result of this public outrage.
Here's a list of some vocabulary that I think will be useful for you:
no longer: I will no longer help you with your homework. (meaning: I won't help you any more in the future).
effective immediately: I have sent you a new list of office rules, effective immediately. (meaning: These rules are valid starting now).
so-called: His so-called law degree is actually just an online course certificate. (meaning: He calls his certificate a law degree, even though it isn't a law degree. So-called is a way to imply that someone lied or exaggerated about something).
Try using these phrases in your own sentences in the comments! What do you think about this article? Is it a good choice for Delta to make? Do you think big-game hunting is acceptable?
Happy Wednesday and happy studying!
