"MY VOCAB PRACTICE."
Good work!
Great point about aging!! A few years back, I read where the actress Patricia Arquette said essentially the same thing. For her, working in movies, the stress to stay "beautiful" is intense, but she just said "Screw that."
Before hearing that, I had respected her for her film work. After hearing that, I respect her for who she is. A beautiful person -- regardless of age and regardless of any lack of make-up or facial surgery.
You, too, stay beautiful!

I remember reading about Singapore's water reclamation when I lived there. Now, here in Thailand, I buy my drinking water from a dispenser that uses reverse osmosis. Such machines are everywhere.

2.-These beats often take a long time to appear, may fade or cease only to reappear again much later.
3.-The reaction of the teacher, was not the best before the criticism of parents.

Hi @majes.tytyty
I notice you listed 2 of the words in the vocab exercise as 'reverse'.
Is it an error? Did you mean to list one of the words as 'reversal'?
Posted using Partiko Android
I figure it out already. Please ignore my question. Thanks.

OK, ignored. But let me just confirm that one is a verb, and one is a noun. That's why I listed the word twice. Cheers!
thanks you for good posting evreday.
