What We Had To Do!
Our teacher made a task for us in our reading slide.
What we had to do in the doc, first we had to get into it by the link in the reading slide.
After that we had to make a copy of the doc because we didn't have edits there.
Then we had to grab a dictionary and find the meanings for the words that my teacher wrote down in the slide for us as you can see below this text.
Also if you scroll down there will be two luggage it just means that you have to find another meaning for luggage in the dictionary, because in some of the meanings in the dictionary there are two meanings.
Other Comments: It was pretty hard trying to look for the words but I got the hang of it.
Make a copy.
Use a dictionary, we are using dictionary skills today. Do not copy and paste off your chromebook using google.
Example:
Tulip - a bulbous spring-flowering plant of the lily family, with boldly coloured cup-shaped flowers.
Kakera smelt the tulip and thought it was really nice.
Official - A person who holds a position of Authority.
Just after seven o’clock every morning, I would walk out to my gate (because there aren’t any official bus stops along the route) to wait for my ride.
Luggage - suitcases and bags etc. holding things for taking on journey.
On the Pasi o Va’a there is a list of fares that includes the extra charges for luggage, such as a chilly bin, a sack of rice, a dead pig, or a live pig.
Breeze - A wind.
Most of the time, the windows are kept down, and a cool breeze flows through the bus.
Passengers - A person who is driven or carried in car, train or plane.
These buses take passengers from the market in town to the wharf, and they are usually very crowded.
Luggage - baggage, bags, cases, gear, ports (Australian), suitcases, trunks; see also BELONGINGS.
The supakako helps to load and unload the luggage, and when the bus stops at a shop, he jumps out and buys the driver a bottle of soft drink and something tasty to eat.
Uncomfortable - not relaxing or enjoying.
The seats on a Samoan bus don’t have much padding, so travelling is uncomfortable enough without a heavy person sitting on you as well.
Ornaments - a decoration.
They reflect the personality and taste of the driver, and they might be decorated with ornaments, soft toys, stickers, Christmas decorations (especially tinsel), brightly coloured fabric, or posters.
Cord - a length of string or rope.
When you want to get off, you pull the cord to let the driver know, just as you do in New Zealand.
Market - a group of stalls, usually in the open air, where things are sold.
These buses take passengers from the market in town to the wharf, and they usually very crowded.
Combinations - combining a number of people or things that are combined.
Samoan buses are painted in bright combinations of colours.
