A fictional story When I try to speak English or to type messages here or on facebook I usually can't use rare words even though I learn them almost every day because I see that my texts and speech are poor and simple. I don't mean really rare, outdated words but the words which native speakers use quite often. So now I'm going to create a story off-the-cuff using some words which I want to memorize. Maybe in the context it would be easier to remember them later. The story. Yesterday in the morning I went out to the closest bus stop. I was a little bit diseased so I was going to visit a pharmacy and buy an ointment. Near the bus stop I ran into my friends Alan and David. They had been waiting for a bus for ten minutes. We hadn't met since December so they had some news. Alan asked me for advice with some girl whom he liked. He asked me because I had known her when she had studied in my University. I considered she's gorgeous and I told Alan to put in perspectives his chances. The girl was also bitchy and I adveced that he shouldn't moon over her. Meanwhile a bus arrived and we got on. When we were heading off David told us his current affairs. He's a good narrator. Abruptly the bus stopped. We clamed up and simultaniously looked through a window. There was an accident on the road. It's typical in winter because roads are slippery and frosted. At length the bus pulled away and we inched. David finished his story and Alan started over his questions about the girl. I replied him meticulously that he should calm down. The girl was fastidious and spiteful. But Alan didn't get over it. I ran out of advice but I didn't want to walk out on Alan. David cheered him up and we said that we would back him up. Moreover we promised him to reconcile his problem wisely even though we're not omnipotent. Eventually we got out the bus and strolled to a cafe, we were famished so we polished off our dinner. I completely forgot about the pharmacy. Fortunately David said to me that he had also had the same injury the day before and his sister had bought the ointment which I was looking for. I asked him if I could visit him in the evening to borrow it.

A fictional story

When I try to speak English or to type messages here or on facebook, I usually can't use rare words even though I learn (study) them almost every day because I see that my texts and speech are poor and simple. I don't mean really rare, outdated words but the words which native speakers use quite often. So now I'm going to create a story off-the-cuff using some words which I want to memorize. Maybe in the context it would be easier to remember them later.
The story.
Yesterday in the morning I went out to the closest bus stop. I was a little bit injured, and in pain, diseased so I was going to visit a pharmacy and buy an ointment. Near the bus stop I ran into my friends Alan and David. They had been waiting for a bus for ten minutes. We hadn't met since December so they had some news. Alan asked me for advice with some girl whom he liked. He asked me because I had known her when she had studied in at my University. I considered she's her to be gorgeous and I told Alan to put in perspectives his chances. The girl was also bitchy and I advised him adveced that he shouldn't moon over her. Meanwhile a bus arrived and we got on. When we were heading getting off David told us his current affairs (better to use this when talking about local, national or international news and not personal news). He's a good narrator. Abruptly the bus stopped. We clamed up and simultaniously looked through a window. There was an accident on the road. It's typical in winter because roads are slippery and frosted. At length the bus pulled away and we inched along/farther/. David finished his story and Alan started over his questions about the girl. I replied to him meticulously that he should calm down. The girl was fastidious and spiteful. But Alan didn't get over it. I ran out of advice but I didn't want to walk out on Alan. David cheered him up and we said that we would back him up. Moreover we promised him to reconcile his problem wisely even though we're not omnipotent. Eventually we got out of the bus and strolled to a cafe, we were famished so we polished off our dinner. I completely forgot about the pharmacy. Fortunately David said to me that he had also had the same injury the day before and his sister had bought the ointment which I was looking for. I asked him if I could visit him in the evening to borrow it.

 

Nice job using the new words.


"Diseased" would not have been the proper word to use, because it refers to having a 'disease' like cancer, diabetes, etc. As I understood it from the story, you had some type of injury, which was causing you pain.
