[juanmolina]

Thank you very much dear @eskmcdonnell.

Thank´s again.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE:

1. verbose
   He wasn't too verbose when he was showing to the teachers what his project was about, so he got a bad degree.

2. verbalize
   When I finally met him in person I was too emotioned and couldn't verbalize what I was thinking.

3. verbatim
   The idea of the new project was reported verbatim on the email for those who couldn't reach up to the conference.

Good work!

1. Verbose: In writing as in speech more words is not better. Nevertheless the verbose can hide their empty thoughts and pale opinions in chatter.
2. Verbalize: Verbalize this (hand gesture)!
3. Verbatim: The essay writing exams in China are spectacular; every student scores in the 90% range. It's no wonder however, since they write verbatim what their teachers had said during lecture; they of course memorized the "notes" they took, which of course were verbatim transcripts of the lectures.

Good work!

Sometimes, it's best to stick to hand gestures. Verbalizing them can be too offensive!!
