The Vocabulary Lesson
Hello, my superstar student. This is Alex – your English teacher. It’s me again. Welcome to the vocabulary lesson for “A Secret”. Let’s get started.
There is a fish. And her name is Nancy. Nancy the fish has a secret.
And our first word is a secret. A secret is something that you don’t tell anyone. Usually it is information that you keep from other people. The information you hide from other people.
Nancy the fish has a secret. She has a piece of information that she doesn’t tell anyone. She keeps it a secret. She hides it from other fishes. Nancy the fish has a secret.
All the fishes want to know the secret. But Nancy doesn’t reveal the secret to them.
Our next word is to reveal. To reveal. To reveal means to tell or to show. Nancy doesn’t reveal the secret to them. It means Nancy doesn’t tell the secret. She doesn’t show the secret. Nancy doesn’t reveal the secret to them.
One day all the fishes decide not to talk to Nancy any more. The fishes refuse to talk to her.
And here we have the word to refuse. The fishes refuse to talk to her. To refuse means not to want to do when you are asked to. Nancy asks them to talk to her, but the fishes don’t want to do it. The fishes don’t want to talk to Nancy. The fishes refuse to talk to her.
The fishes pretend not to see her.
Well, pretend, pretend, pretend. This is a very common word in English. To pretend means to make someone believe that something is true, when it is not true.
So all the fishes want to make Nancy believe that they do not see her. Though it is not true, of course. They see her, of course. But they pretend not to see her.
Nancy says, “I don’t care. I can do well without you” and she swims away.
I don’t care. I can do well without you. This all means I am not troubled what you think about me. I can live well without you. I can do well without you. So Nancy the fish says: “I don’t care. I can do well without you.”
Three weeks later Nancy is swimming towards a big, beautiful and fantastic coral reef.
Here we see the word towards. Towards something means in the direction of something. It’s easy, right? Nancy is swimming in the direction of a big, beautiful and fantastic coral reef. Nancy is swimming towards a big, beautiful and fantastic coral reef. I think you get the idea.
She has never been there before, which means it’s her first time there. As Nancy swims up to the big, beautiful and fantastic coral reef, she sees a lot of fishes of different kinds.
As Nancy swims means when Nancy swims. It is easy, right?
Let me focus on the expression “of different kinds”. She sees a lot of fishes of different kinds. Of different kinds means of different sorts. Nancy sees a lot of fishes of different sorts. She sees a lot of fishes of different kinds. In other words, the fishes are not the same. They are different. They are big and small. They are long and short. They are fat and thin. They are blue, yellow, red and black. СКАЧАТЬ
