About a book I read today
I finished reading Lemony Snicket's "Grim Grotto", which is the eleventh novel of the series "A Series of Unfortunate Events".
I have only two books left to finish this series. As what the title says, a lot of unfortunate events happened to Baudelaire orphans so far, who are the main characters of this series. So, I do hope it will become a happy ending.
In this eleventh book, I learned some new words, "condiment", " volatile", to name but a few.
They said "wasabi" is a condiment, but I had thought that it was a seasoning. Then, I searched on the Internet and found out that a condiment is something that we use to add flavor on our dish like ketchup, mustard, etc. whereas, a seasoning is something that we use during cooking like salt, pepper, etc. I found it interesting because, in Japanese language, we use the same word, "調味料" for both seasoning and condiment.

Hi Yuka!
I read the entire series when I was younger. One of my favourite series of all time! I hope you enjoy the last two books. They made a movie of the first three books, but the books are definitely better.
You could certainly learn some advanced English from those books!
