You guys have a bunch of catching up to do.
But as I am in my final homestretch before my SATs, there shall be more words!
Five a day!
Abstemious (adj) sparing in eating and drinking; temperate
Unfortunately, some girls believe that the only way to become a supermodel is to lead an abstemious lifestyle in order to fit into sizes negative forty.
Acquiesce (verb) assent; agree without protesting
Finding it easier to just go with the flow and avoid arguing with his father, Joe acquiesced to going to the carnival with his litter sister.
Affable (adj) easily approachable; warmly friendly
Despite being intimidated by a new school, I was excited to meet all of the affable students and teachers I had heard so much about.
Altruistic (adj) unselfishly generous; concerned for others
It was true that my grandmother was an altruistic woman. She always gave to others even when nothing would be given back to her.
Antediluvian (adj) antiquated; extremely ancient
The archaeologists found a few remaining fossilized bones from antediluvian anteaters.
So the five words are abstemious (like abstinent or anorexic), acquiesce (like succumb to a quest), affable (like aflac the friendly duck), altruistic (a true role model), and antediluvian (like Ancient Aunt Delia).
And here is a story with as many as possible:
A few weeks ago, I came across an antediluvian scroll containing abstruse symbols and faded pictures. Excited with my find, I decided to show the treasure to my trustworthy and affable friend, Loraine. Loraine was flabbergasted, but like the altruistic person she was, she urged me to donate the scroll to the children's museum down the street. Although I really did not want to just donate what could give me great wealth, I knew she was right and acquiesced to her idea, thus evading any hostile disagreements. So, the next day I hopped down to the dilapidated children's museum. As I walked in, the halls immediatley emitted a stench of mac and cheese mixed with throw-up. I gazed at the pitiable and hapless children milling through the hallways and could not help but guess that they lived abstemious lives at home. I wanted to take them all out to eat so that I could ameliorate their ravenous stomachs, but at that moment the museum director strided to my side. With great volume and elocution, he welcomed me to his home away from home (yes, I know, a trite phrase), and then thanked me for my magnificent addition to the "Ancient Scrolls Exhibit." Instantly, I felt at ease with the man and was sure that we had established a strong rapport. As he lead me through the other exhibits, his scintillating eyes showed the excitement and pleasure that his job gave him. "I love my job."
The End.
