Variety adds spice to life!

Make entries: 6

This is our main glossary including all entries from the different glossaries in the different modules.

In this glossary you are going to create a collaborative glossary by trying to include new B2 level structures and lexical items which you truly believe might come in handy to your classmates and help them gain more confidence when speaking or writing. You are supposed to describe the new terms presented by either providing definitions for them, or adding synonyms or antonyms, or simply crystal-clear examples of those elements when used in a real life context. This way you will also get used to practising mediation skills all year long while picking up new stuff.

Why not kick off by adding a new character trait with the vocabulary learnt in these first lessons. The idea is to create a glossary that you can all check and revise whenever you want, and even print to take it with you. These are the instructions:

1. Each student will have to include AT LEAST ONE TERM per unit in the glossary, but of course you can create more than one.

2. When creating an entry, you will have to include: Add a new entry

the word or expression,
its pronunciation (using the microphone tool),
a definition or synonym and
an example,
an image (optional).

IMPORTANT! Do not forget to highlight the type of category of the word or expression, in order to facilitate future searches. The first word strong-willed has been created for you as an example. Also, remember to click in Auto-linking to make it available at all times in the platform.

Self-disciplined

Self-disciplined

Pronunciation:

Definition: A self-disciplined person is the person who doesn´t need anybody telling her "you have to do this" or "you have to do that". She´s conscious of her obligations and duties.

Example: She´s so self-disciplined that she hasn't had any problems with her online studies during the lockdown. It´s a good quality for an online student.

strong-willed

If you are strong-willed, you are determined to behave in a particular way although there might be good reasons for not doing so. The opposite would be weak-willed.

Eg. I've always said that when there's a will, there's a way. When I long for something, nothing will stop me from getting there. We can all be strong-willed, it's not that difficult, but the vast majority prefers making up excuses to commiting themselves. That's the easiest thing to do, I suppose.
