encoded: Who hasn’t heard that vegetables are good for your health? Certainly, they’re very important in our dishes and contain many nutrients. And now we get to the most important question: What are they called? I WANT TO START TODAY Subcategories of “Vegetables”? Before we begin to go over the names of all the vegetables, it’s important that we start by establishing if there are different categories of vegetables. There are no subcategories of vegetables in English, though there are in some other languages. Vegetables refers to any plant with edible fruits, seeds, roots, bulbs, tubers, leaves, or flowers. For example: tomatoes, potatoes, onions, asparagus, spinach and cauliflower. It’s important to remember that what we may think of as vegetables are technically classified in other ways. For example, tomatoes, avocados and squash are botanically classified as fruits. Now that we know that there are no subcategories of vegetables in English, we’ll go on to the vocabulary. Green Vegetables in English To facilitate learning, we’re going to start with vegetables that are mostly green. These vegetables are sometimes called greens. Let’s see what’s included in the first list. Basil Artichoke Coriander (UK) / Cilantro (US) Brussel Sprout Dill Asparagus Lettuce Oregano Parsley Leek Cabbage Rosemary Other Vegetables In the last section, we gave you a list of green vegetables. Now, to help you learn, we’re going to give you a list with other types of vegetables, a little bit more colourful. Which of these is your favourite?

Don’t stress; we’ll give you some ideas for tackling this vocabulary and we’ll list 50 words you’re sure to learn quickly. I WANT TO START TODAY Household objects in English When a child learns to speak, the first words he pronounces are the names of people and the objects nearby that make up his daily environment. Similarly, our first list of objects will be focused on objects in the home. Of course there are many things in a house; but remember, we’re sticking to short lists. Are you ready? Cupboard Pillow Coffee maker Bed Spoon Blanket Knife Stove Sink Washing machine Pot Dish Fridge Sofa Stool Cup Fork Glass These words will certainly be easy for you to remember, because they’re things you use at home every day. Now we’ll move on to another environment that’s also common: the classroom. Classroom objects Whether you study virtually or in person, it’s always important to know the names of classroom objects. Of course, if you attend classes in person, you’ll need to refer to many objects, whereas the list could probably be reduced a bit if you study online. Either way, we’ve chosen a list of the words that seemed most useful. Pen Computer Notebook Desk Pencil Bookcase Book Chair Backpack Paper Glue Door Ruler Clock Whiteboard Window As you can see, this list isn’t exhaustive. What other words would you add?

encoded: Before tackling the structure of a formal letter, the first thing to establish is what type of letter you need to write. You can discover this easily by answering the question: Why do I need to write this letter? For example, perhaps you need to write a cover letter to include with your resume when you’re applying for a job. Or perhaps, by contrast, you need to write a letter of resignation. Other types of formal letters include business letters, contracts, thank you notes, invitations, follow-ups, complaints or requests for information, among many others. I WANT TO START TODAY Advice for writing a formal letter These days, we use email or instant messaging services to communicate or request information. However, sooner or later, the time will come when you have to sit in front of a blank page at your computer to write a formal letter. But don’t worry, it’s not a particularly difficult task if you have the necessary tools. Before you tackle the structure of a formal letter, don’t forget these eight key elements: Respect the structure of the letter. Use language that’s simple, formal and to the point. Be direct; avoid repeating ideas and using sentences that are long and difficult to understand. The use of transitions is very important for the message to be comprehensible and flow easily. Avoid informal language; don’t use contractions such as I’m, they’re. Write short paragraphs and remember to cover one idea per paragraph. Be polite. When you finish your letter, check your spelling or use a grammar checker. Now we will go step-by-step through each of the elements that make up the structure of formal letters. Structure of a formal letter Sender The heading of a formal letter begins with the letterhead, which includes the sender’s contact information. This should be placed on the top right of the letter. Usually, the information includes the sender’s first name, surname, address and telephone number. For example: Rodrigo Char 234W 45th Street New York, 10036 (247) 78…

Usually, we use “profession” to mean a job that requires some type of academic training to be able to do.
