Weekly Vocabulary

Your internship sites are rich with new and unfamiliar terms or phrases. One of the goals of the internship is to further develop your english language proficiency. Every week from now on you are to publish a post about new vocabulary words or phrases that have encountered or picked up "on the job." There is a template provided below for you to use each week. Your goal is at least five. Please give the word/phrase, what it means, and the context in which you came across it.

Many recent comments have been related to the following...

Question: What if I didn't hear any new words?

Answer: Challenge yourself. Do the assignment using words or phrases related to SAT preparation, college now, or some other advanced activity that will require expanding your vocabulary and increasing your English language proficiency

Here is an example:

Word: Jailbroken

Meaning: A computer hardware device that has been hacked into

Context: I saw an article about the iPhone being jailbroken, or hacked so it could be used on other mobile service providers.


FOR YOUR BLOG (Due Friday, 11:59 p.m. of each week)

Words or phrases. Anything new or unfamiliar. I am sure there is something at your internship that you are unfamiliar with. Try...

what about if you only hear one unfamiliar word of phrase? does it have to be five

Mr. Andrew said...

E, you have to have five for the week. That is roughly one per day. I think that is reasonable. -AS-

Nafi T said...

Hey mr Andrew. I've added a new vocabulary word to my list. Say, it's hard to have five words for the week, especially when you don't hear any unfamiliar word. Does it have to be five words per week? Could it be three or four words depending on how many words you hear eveyday?

Nafi T said...

Hey mr Andrew,now,i have five vocabulary words on my blog.I added a few more today.I'm also done with the Daily Post. My job is done. YEAAAAAH MEEEEE!!!!
