Last Homework This Term!


Hi HS11!!

Please forward this email to Marco.

Your final task is to correctly define each of the words (check in a dictionary to confirm) assigned to you below, then put each one in a different sentence, showing me your understanding and a correct context. Please blog all of them then by midday, next Tuesday, June 9th, your deadline.

E.g. Let's imagine my word is "to chat somebody up"
Definition = To talk to (someone) in a charming or affected manner, flirtatiously with the intention of establishing a romantic or sexual encounter or relationship with that person.
"I know why Soloman had 600 wives, because he never found you," he said to her in his ridiculous attempt to chat her up........ she didn't buy it though!
