Reality Shows: Word Clouds

dans la catégorie Media

How to make suppositions.


Vary your structures!

Examples:

I'm guessing this show is about cat fanatics put together in the same room. They probably organize competitions about who can tame their cats better!

Chances are, the show features people who wear cat-like outfits and cat ears as a lifestyle!

How to say "it's good!" in more meaningful ways!

Always think about words that convey a precise idea!

How to say "It's bad!"


Add words to the list!


Now modulate!



Use adverbs to enrich your structures.

Examples:

It's utterly disturbing!

It's decidedly humiliating!

It's rather insulting!

NB: the adverb is always placed ....................... the adjective.

REMEMBER TO WATCH MOVIES DURING THE HOLIDAYS!
