few days ago... i was doing an assigned pair work with my classmate, and everything went smoothly till we came into a question... "name a word about personality" i though up a word, sycophant. "what's that?" asked my classmate 'it describes someone who flatters excesively , or ... an apple polisher' "so that's a B****" my classmate said the 'B word' without a second thought during the break, he even asked what's the use of knowing difficult words. for God's sake, we are taking the "advanced vocabulary" class... what's more, he told me that knowing hard words is a waste of time, because i can hardly use any one of those words in my sentence or so. "how come you could know what words you WILL be using?" i try to convince him sadly, i faild doing so... dear God ... i could hardly believe that i heard that sentence spoken from a English major "what's the use of knowing difficult words" shame on you btw, i find it perfectly nice that my English is far better than him... -- . ▃▃▂ ▃▃ ▃▃▂▃▃▂ ▃▃▂ ▃▂ ▊▊ ▎ ◥ ▎ . . ▂▎ ▎ ▎ ▎ . .▅▅ ▅▅ ▅▆ ▅▆▄▅ . . ─ S N S D . . ─ .═ψyihchyi . -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.70.108.54
