i i come from a pretty village in the

1:16

country

1:18

an advanced level you could say charming

1:20

a charming

1:21

village in the country that's that's a

1:23

nice word that's more impressive

vocabulary

1:41

1:48

impressive

1:49

adjective to use in this situation so if

1:51

1:52

of adjectives really demonstrate a good

level

1:56

2:03

months ago

2:04

where i give lots of examples of extreme

2:06

adjectives which can really

2:08

help to express what you want to say

2:11

so pause the video and have a look at

2:13

those and choose the one that you think

2:15

could help you

2:16

and that you think you have a good

2:17

chance of remembering
