MY VOCAB PRACTICE:

1. Typical:
   It was the tail-end of the Halcyon days, right before the disruptive weather that wasn't typical for this time of year came whipping through at speeds of 1oo mile an hour winds, followed by rain that could turn into ice and kill a man, followed by lightning and thunder storms that shook the ground.

It has actually been raining here, which is very unusual for this time of year.

How's the weather there? Any major changes that you've noticed?

One of my freewrite piece got me into a curie showcase (not out yet). Part of how that piece came out was from some of the vocab words. 8-)

Good work!

p.s. Being stuck 20 mins in a traffic jam aint bad. In New Delhi, it can be hours. Even in Toronto, 1-hour jams are not uncommon.

[yashny]

Thank you! That can be so frustrating and inconvenient especially during emergencies. I'm glad that it doesn't happen as often here except during peak times in certain areas.

Number 4 is plagiarized. I did not check, but I believe Numbers 1 and 2 are also plagiarized.

DO NOT plagiarize. That's wrong, and seriously frowned upon on Steemit.

For these Voc Practice exercises, please compose YOUR OWN sentences.
