Lesson 925: Nice Good Beautiful Pretty and Great

 

Hello, Readers.

I've been reading this book

by Arthur Brooks.

It is a collection of 33 of his articles

published in the Atlantic.

It's good.

You can tell by the number of book tabs

where I marked the good stuff.

If I'm reading non-fiction, 

my aim is about ten pages a day.

Non-fiction is a slow-soak for me

and it allows time for my brain to take in 

the new information.

I can read fiction books much faster.

In this section,

I read this selection on compliments.

I tabbed this as worth remembering.

In summary,

two-thirds of compliments are made of just 

five adjectives:

nice,

good,

beautiful,

pretty,

and great.

Now that I've been made aware of that,

it's all I heard today at school.

It's all I heard myself saying.

It's all I saw myself type.

nice

good

beautiful

pretty

and 

great.

All good words for sure,

but there are many which are better.

Let's try some out.

Stunning.

Reflective.

Polychromatic

Serene.

Soggy.

Festive.

Jolly.

Delectable.

Gentle friends.

In development.

Disheartening season.

Early flurry.

Shimmering.

Splendor.

Billowy.

Midday.

Fiery.

Gleaming.

Accomplished.

See you next week

under the light of the lamp post.

It will be easy to find the light,

since we have three more

to add to our collection!
