Hi all my friends: I suggest you as a little sister,but if you like,to make our own sentences with these new words.I think this method helps us to learn the new words better.As you know learning a word in a phrase or sentence is so better than leaning them individually.We do this method in new words daily group too.You can make just a sentence with a word or making the sentences with all of the words or...And I think it's better to remind the others their mistakes so that they won't repeat them again. Now I start myself:
I feel so unhappy at Friday's dusks.
That boy is guiding this herd of sheeps.
He abandoned his family and traveled to the foreign.
My father has made a bench with some planks.
What's the difference between flock and herd?
When I want to type something I prod the keys of my keyboard.
