Vocabulary exercise: part 2
In part one, we imagined ourselves walking through our home (or maybe someone else's home) and making a list of general items that we saw. I am sure every person's list is different but this one is mine:
General things in a home:
floor
ceiling
wall
hallway
bathroom
kitchen
living room
entertainment room
bedroom
attic
pantry
loft
stairway
basement
storage room
furniture
This list isn't meant to be comprehensive. The act of creating this list forces us to connect the English words with the mental images of the things we imagined. If you could recall them, great! If not, then you can add it to your list of things to study. Another reason for this exercise is to fill gaps in your vocabulary and create connections between related words. If you can remember the general word, you will find that more specific words will automatically start to come to mind. For fun, I will add an extension of the exercise below in the comments.

One of my favorite exercises for filling gaps in immediately useful vocabulary is to look at what's around you and make a list! There's not much point in learning the word "emu" yet unless you expect one to chase you very soon in your future!
Firstly, I start with the general nouns and then I write the terms for more and more specific things.
For example: Vehicle-> Car -> Nissan -> Nissan Altima
Can you tell me what general nouns create the inside of a house?
A tip: Imagine yourself at the entrance of your home and imagine walking through your house, listing every object in its most basic form. Anything that can be given a vague description is a good object to list.
Go ahead and write down your list below in the comments and keep it ready. Next time, we will continue the exercise in more detail!
