AEP Blog #2.3 “The vocabs!”

 


Good day dear readers! 


This blog will be a little different; aside from the whole “exam week is coming up” stuff that I’d probably bring up if I wanted to make this like a normal blog but then I thought again — what better way to introduce you! The reader! With just exactly what our midterms will be focusing on today.


Basically, our midterms are crosswords — so ms tells us the words to learn then we have to put them in the crossword. So, Ill talk about each of the words here today! 


We have our own papers that we were allowed to take home. With that being said, we have choice to study the words since all the meanings are placed in the paper already. Unit 5 is all about describing people, yourself or others.


Starting off with word no.1: affable 


Someone who is affable makes me think of the word “ABLE to talk to others easily” they are the type of people who get along with others without a problem whatsover. They are friendly, polite and very approachable.


Word no.2: aloof


This type of person seems like someone who is a little hard to engage in conversation. The type of people that just stare at you blankly and reply coldly. They are slothful, lazy and tries to do as little as possible. Aloof kind of sounds like clouds; who just sit in the sky without a care(and damn).


Word no.3: belligerent 


These people are probably people who gang up on bullies. They are always looking for a fight because it makes them feel better!  


Word no.4 benevolent 


They are very good willed and generous with their time. They want to help others because it makes them happier.


Word no. 5 capricious 


These are the type of people who are bound to have sudden changes in their mood. Completely liable to their quick change of attitude and their behavior.


Word no. 6: cynical 


Someone who sttubornly defends their own views. These are the type of people that cant accept their answes are wrong or will only work with what they think is right during group projects. 


Word no.7 dogmantic 


Word no.8 eccentric


A good word to describe these type of people is “the black sheep”. They are rather weird. The type of people that have an odd or peculiar personality.They may have strange belief and behave strangely all the time. 


Word no.9: erudite


I think of it as a word similar to graphite which teachers use to write! These type of people are knowledgeable and scholarly.


Word no. 10: gregarious 


Now affable and gregarious may be similar,

however the key difference is these type of people are fond of being SOCIABLE around others; which doesn’t necessarily mean helping them.


Word no. 11: Impetuous


These type of people do things without care. Simple (hahahaha) 


Word no. 12: Indolent 


Someone who is slothful and lazy! They are the type of people that are very hard to deal with in friendgroups; maybe they have a hard time getting out of bed.



Thats it for the first part! Theres another group of words which are: 


Insolent (someone who is rude)

Irascible (someone who is short tempered) 

mendacious (someone who is dishonest) 

mercurial (someone who is lively but unpredictable) 

pedantic (someone who pays attention to detail) 

pensive (someone who is deep in thought) 

pernickety (someone which is overly fussy) 

quixotic (someone who is a visionary) 

recalcitrant (someone who is disobedient) 

sanguine ( someone who is cheerful and optimistic) 

scrupulous( someone who is principled) 

steadfast ( someone who is faithful to something) 

stoic (someone who is impassive) vociferous( someone who is noisy)



Thats it for now all, thank you dear reader!

IM THE MAP! - Janek - Blog 2 - T3 - AEP 10

Although maps have always held a peculiar charm for me, a fascination sparked during childhood by watching episodes of Dora the Explorer and her indispensable map, my relationship with them has evolved. Previously, a map was a guide to travelling to places, a tool for discovering new café locations on trips, or simply a way to marvel at rather weird corners of the globe. However, my recent academic assignments have altered my perception of maps, making them less of an object of intrigue and more a source of stress. Essays have made maps worse! Before, engaging with a map never entailed writing an essay. If my father discussed a historical map, I’d happily delve into a verbal explanation rather than penning an analysis. But now, as a student in an Advanced English Program, essays have become a standard expectation. Tackling these assignments has been a significant challenge, turning my once enjoyable encounters with maps into a draining task. It’s clear now that the essays, not my exhau...

Miss Disa is back! - AEP 10- BLOG#4- JANEK

Now that the exams have finally concluded and the stress has lifted, thanks to the break and the high AEP spirit, it seems inevitable that a blog post is in order! The past weeks have been some of the most unusual and unpredictable I've ever experienced in AEP. With a few new faces, Miss Disa's absence, and sudden activities, let's delve into the latest updates on AEP. A Sudden Disappearance? On January 7, just a day before AEP's classes resumed, I felt a sense of fear. Fear that I might have forgotten something, a feeling I often experience. Despite this, I had to enter the class with confidence. However, my expectations took an unexpected turn. Miss Disa was nowhere to be seen. She had apparently left for the UK, and has not yet arrived in the Philippines. This had left many of us  confused, yet simultaneously relieved. No work, no stress! All we had to do was sit in the Filipino class doing nothing. Initially, that's what we thought, until a notification popped u...

Nurin’s AEP Adventure (Term 3 #1)

Hey blog!!! Under some ciscumstances, I have relapsed into my old habits of procrascination and I’m really not proud of that :,) But that’s okay, I’m still in progress and of course I’m gonna have ups and downs. Embracing any chance to change myself for the better, always. Anyways, IT’S TERM 3 ALREADY?!?!? My my, time flies like a speed jet to space. I’m like a leap away from graduating and that thought scares me, in an exciting way. I cannot even imagine yet what the future holds for me and I’m eager to find out. For now, nothing much is going on except for preparations of the musical production on March 9th. So I’ve just been really busy with dance trainings and rehearsals here and there. Expectations are really high for the Grade 12 so we have to give it our best and perform to our fullest potential.  I have been putting off works in the last moments of previous term. I got my Cambridge exam result and it brought me back down to my dark pit, I never want to get out of there like...
