Text
When you grow up you, tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world, try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family, have fun, save a little money. That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader, once you discover one simple fact, and that is that everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.
Vocabulary
Grow up – to become an adult.
Bash – to cause or allow (something, such as part of your body) to hit something very hard or forcefully.
Limited – not high or great in number, amount, etc.
Broader – including or involving many things or people.
Made up – created.
Influence – the power to change or affect someone or something : the power to cause changes without directly forcing them to happen.

Hello , I love ABA’method , but there is a lack of interactive Vocabulary.Why don´t you create such a menu button ? One could collect there all the new vocabulary,build flashcards and learn them according the repetition method. That would be more effective , wouldn’t it ?
Bye for now, Cle
Thank you Clemens! It’s a nice suggestion that we will consider! Thanks! 🙂
