Words of the Day

These are the five words we are going to learn today.

altruistic

 /ˌæl.truˈɪs.tɪk/

It describes someone who helps others without expecting anything in return. It means being selfless and caring about others more than yourself.

Examples:

  1. Many people loved him because of his altruistic actions.
  2. Helping someone without expecting a reward is an altruistic act.

awry

/əˈraɪ/

Awry means something has gone wrong or is not as expected. It can also mean something is not in the right position.

Examples:

  2. His tie was awry after rushing to the meeting.

charade

/ʃəˈreɪd/

noun

Charade has two main meanings:

  1. A game – A word-guessing game where people act out a word or phrase without speaking.

  2. A false or deceptive act – Something that is pretended or faked to hide the truth.

Examples:

  1. We played charades at the party and it was so fun.
  2. He tried to keep up the charade that he was from a rich family.

clandestine

 /klænˈdes.tɪn/

Clandestine means something that is done in secret or hidden, usually because it is illegal or not allowed.

Examples:

  1. They held a clandestine meeting late at night to discuss their secret plans.
  2. The spies exchanged information in a clandestine manner to avoid being caught.

coincidence

 /koʊˈɪn.sɪ.dəns/

noun

A coincidence is when two or more events happen at the same time by chance, without being planned or connected. It’s not caused by anything intentional—just a random occurrence!

Examples:

  1. I met my teacher at the airport—what a strange coincidence!
  2. Is it just a coincidence that we keep running into each other?
