MY VOCAB PRACTICE

  1. I always had the ability to improve my vocabulary on my own, but the opportunity provided by @majes.tytyty through participation in the Vocab-ability exercises each week has certainly helped motivateme to actually get out there (so to speak) and do it!
  2. Stability is the most important aspect of any foundation because, without it, anything we build on top is more likely to fail.
  3. It was a tough decision but the candidate chosen to fill the new mentor role at the University was the one who showed the most sagacity.
  4. The minority of teachers who were against the strike were extremely upset at the fact that they couldn't work on the strike day regardless of their industrial opinions, as there weren't enough of them to manage all of the children had the school remained open that day.
  5. Children with a high level of mental agility are usually more successful at spelling bees than others.
