MY VOCAB PRACTICE

1. The beauty of the song can only be heard when we sing it in unison.
2. The sonorous voice of the singer threw the audience into excitement.
3. The Sonic boom of the flying jet threw the community into confusion.
4. Everyone knew the choir didn't rehearse their rendition because of the dissonance observed in their performance.

Good work!

“MY VOCAB PRACTICE.”

1. Nothing makes the music teacher happier than hearing students sing in UNISON.
2. Sometimes, loud, SONOROUS sounds are alarming and terrifying at the same time.
3. Have you ever heard a jet’s SONIC BOOM?
4. This crowd’s DISSONANCE is starting to irritate me.

[majes.tytyty]

Good work!

I often find that, regardless of any dissonance, most crowds are irritating.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE:

1. The choir sang in unison.

2. The clock made a sonorous chime at the top of the hour.

3. As Concorde flew through the sound barrier, a sonic boom cracked the air.

4. Emmanuel Macron exhibited cognitive dissonance and he pretended the riots had nothing to do with his policies.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE

1. Everyone in the room had finally reached an agreement in unison.
2. The musical production is currently looking for a sonorous male lead.
3. The sudden sonic boom due to a bypassing military jet caused all the animals in the shelter to be in shock.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE

1. Unison
   Everyone moved in unison, but the sudden gunshot disrupted the movement and caused everyone to panic.
2. Sonorous
   Lorde's new album is pretty impressive, her sonorous effects were amazing.
3. Sonic Boom
   We felt the sonic boom of the jet almost immediately as it flew past us.
4. Dissonance
   The meeting between both parties was in total dissonance as a result of arguments.

Good work!

MY VOCAB PRACTICE:

1. Unison:
   They may be singing in unison but they're not on key as they do it.

2. Sonorous:
   The sonorous hippo in the cartoon was much different to the child when he saw it on the planes of Afrika charging at the jeep he was in.

3. Sonic Boom:
   I'm going to sonic boom my fist right through her face in tomorrow's match.

4. Dissonance:
   The dissonance of that chord strike at my soul.

[majes.tytyty]

Good work! Particularly #2, which is so great that it's far beyond my comprehension. But I like it.

[tristancarax]

lol. My thought has to do with seeing a cartoon animal on TV and mistaking them with the characteristics of the real life animals.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE:

1. Unison.
   At basic training trainees are thought by drill sergeants to march and call cadence in unison in the parade field ceremony.

2. Sonorous
   The boss electronic music systems are designed with impressive sonorous sound to attract high-end customers.

3. Sonic boom.
   Sometimes it can be shocking to hear a sonic boom when you’re jogging on a trail somewhere isolated.

4. Dissonance.
   Five things a guitarist can do to eliminate dissonance sounds from a guitar are: positioning the amp correctly, understanding equalization, using pedal effects, use better speakers, and use short cables.

"MY VOCAB PRACTICE."

1. Unison.
   The choir all sang in unison, the song written by the Choir Director, as the piano player played along.

2. Sonorous
   When we went into the theater, the orchestra's sonorous notes permeated through the rafters with beautiful melodies.

3. Sonic boom.
   When she saw The Concorde take off for the last time, she waited for the sonic boom as it reached even higher in the sky.

4. Dissonance.
   The dissonance between the protesters and the politician giving his speech was deafening.
