You will find that there are many new words . Practice by underlining every noun or verb that you cannot replace with a synonym.
     Then find the meaning of each word to widen your vocabulary.

For example:
1) Picket
2) Sultry
3) Sunset-lustered
4) Etc]]> 2017-11-19 07:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/putri_putu99/o5ig92gkhbte/wish/208435844 WHY I WEAR BLACK PEARLS putri_putu99 https://padlet.com/putri_putu99/o5ig92gkhbte/wish/209837749 By : T’Mara Goodsell, St. Charles, Missouri

When I married, I wore white pearls. And when I divorced, I purchased a strand of black ones.

They don’t stand at picket fence perfect attention or march virtuously across my skin. No pearls of innocence, these. They are smoky, exotic. They are sultry, sunset-lustered and night-nacred. They are city lights in the rain. They are oil slicks after a race. They are the anti–June Cleavers.

They represent my vow that I will take me for better or for worse and honor me all the days of my life. That I will stay true to myself, always.

The main idea may no longer be provided in the first sentence; it may instead be hidden on the second paragraph or even the second page.


You’ll need to practice finding the thesis of the text or article you’re reading.

sometimes it’s more effective to use a pencil and sticky notes when you write. Use the pencil to underline, circle, and define words in the margins, or (if you’re using a library book) use sticky notes to mark a page and a pencil to write specific notes to yourself.

It’s good practice to read once for a basic understanding of a material, and read at least one more time to get a more thorough grasp of the material.
