First English class with teacher Leann using iTalki

We did some exercises like: reading a text to the teacher to correct my pronuciation, role playing text, some sentences to recognize grammar errors and three new words that I didn't know the meaning of:

placid - a moment with a lot of peace
noxious - a poisonous thing or animal, like a noxious snake, noxious spider, noxious sea food or some people or children.

counterfeit - a fake thing, like a counterfeit fruit that we use to decorate.

Notes:

Placid - usually refers to the temperament of a person or animal; one that is not easily upset or excited.

Noxious - refers to something that is harmful, poisonous, or very unpleasant.

Counterfeit is generally used when something is made in an exact imitation of something valuable or important with the intention to deceive or defraud, especially with regard to money or other expensive or valuable articles (e.g. lliquor, cigarettes, cellphones, clothing items, perfume, etc...), the production or distribution of which is illegal. We wouldn't refer to fake plastic fruit or flowers as being 'counterfeit' because one can quickly see that they are truly fake. We would simply refer to them as "plastic" or "fake".
