Engless vocabulary Hi my journal! Someone suggested me that I should practice new words in my notebook. I've actually written down 10 new words. I'll also make a silly comment to each sentece just to amuse myself. So, here I go The novel is called "Werewolf of Fever Swamp" hoarse 1. Want to go exploring? He asked in his hoarse voice. (hmm, it's so similar to horse. I don't even know how to pronounce it but I assume that they sound almost the same) gobble down 2. ...watching Wolf hungrily gobble down his breakfast. (what?? Ok, I understand the meaning of gobble, but why is it used as a phrasal verb here? Isn't it not enough to say something like - watching him gobble his breakfast?) rambling 3. ...who had come rambling past my feet. (no comments. I don't have any idea what it means. I suppose that I should see it first) slug 4. ...he playfully tried to slug her, but missed. (is it similar to punch? If so, why do you have two words with the same meaning? Fabulous language) grumble 5. Don't start again with that stuff again. Will grumbled. (Well, this is a hard one. If I only memorize this word and review after some time, I still forget it. But if someone was grubmling next to me and I said -> hey dude, you're bothering me, then I'd rember this word much better) flap 6. And I'm going to flap my winds and fly to Mars. (I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky. I need to associate the word flap to this song) stagger 7. ...as he staggered back (stammer, stagger, all these words like a total mess in my brain, they look so alike to me) scowl 8. Scowling, will glanced down (Ok, this is a synonym for frown, that one is easy) wind 9. We made our way along the winding path (It was suprising to find out that the word 'wind' has a lot of different meanings) scrumble up 10. I tried frantically to scramble up from the mud (No comment, totally new word for me) To sum up, I'm totally angry and disappointed ;)
