Continuity is, sometimes, a hard thing to do. It takes a lot of commitment and extra effort. But I’m on fire today, literally. After evacuating some patients, victims and firefighter troops in a fire incident this afternoon.
I need to calm down my mind after handling fire incident, so why not try to play some words. As for me, learning some new vocabs in other languages can relax my mind. It’s weird, isn’t it? Yea, indeed. 😅
I opened lesson 3 in 504 book, read a story which title was “Start Saving for Sable” and found these third 12 magic words:
- Expensive
- Typical
- Scarce
- Minimum
- Annual
- Essential
- Blend
- Visible
- Persuade
- Beau
- Devise
- Wholesale
Without further ado, let me try to arrange them into a new story:
It was just a typical sunny day in Balikpapan when I was riding my motorbike back home from my workplace. Although my profession is a doctor, I am not a beau, a man with a reputation for fine dress and etiquette. That’s why riding on a motorbike suits me better. It’s not that I couldn’t afford to buy expensive car. But for me, I prefer some scarce sport cars, which doesn’t suit my workplace area.
I’m not into glamorous fashion which French say “à la mode” as well. That’s why many times my wife tried to persuade me to change my style. For me, to look more appealing or classy. But how can I say? I’m just a jeans-and-T-shirt type guy. Even I don’t mind to buy some clothes in annual sale in wholesale. In my humble opinion, what is essential is not always visible to the eyes.
However, in social hierarchy, if we want to blend with many kind of people from jet set to unsophisticated low-life, there are almost always minimum requirement for that. We have to adapt with their styles, whether it’s by accommodation or assimilation. That’s why I need to devise some wise methods for adaptation. After all, with time, everything changes, and nothing is wrong with that.
As usual, feel free to correct my phrases or sentences. Thank you. 😉
