New words, phrases, and expressions I have Learned in "Unit 6 Pressure"
New words, phrases, and expressions I have Learned in "Unit 6 Pressure"
Hello Everybody. I am Janpha Thadphoothon and I have been taking a course titled Reading and Writing -4. I enjoy it very much.. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been working hard to learn English. I believe in it necessary and important to take notes and revise what you have learned on a regular basis.
Below are some of the words, phrases, and expressions I have learned in Unit 6 Pressure.
1. Achievement (n.) = a thing done successfully, typically by effort, courage, or skill.
It gives you a sense of achievement if you actually make it to the end of a very long book.
2. Lifestyle (n.) - the way in which a person or a group lives
It is difficult to pay for a good lifestyle. (p. 101)
Are you living a healthy lifestyle? (My own sentence)
3. Celebrity (n.)
4. Pressure (n.) - a difficult situation that makes you feel worried or unhappy:
Then there would be less pressure to be “perfect” and more opportunities to
simply enjoy your time together. (p. 101)
- She's got a lot of pressure on her at work just now.
- Under pressure (collocation) Under + Pressure e.g.
Be nice to him - he's been under a lot of pressure recently.
5. Childhood - (n.) - the state of being a child
1 If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? This is a common
question often asked during childhood in many cultures. Children have been asked
this question for generations, but their answers are changing. Recent studies
have highlighted a dramatic and rather worrying shift in children’s ambitions. (p. 105)
- I spent my childhood in Surin. (to spend your childhood) - collocation
(At least 10)
