New words that I learned yesterday

Yesterday I have had two English sessions. I learned about Indiana in the first session.

I used Google Maps to navigated to where my teacher was teaching me and I asked her about things around there.

She was teaching me next to the Funeral Home in Indiana and I learned the word "cremation" which means fire or to burn dead people. I told her that Thai people usually burn people after they died too. I also learned the word "ashes" which means thing that you get after you burn dead people. I suggest you to google it if you don't understand what I mean. I also learned that funeral home means place that provides burial and funeral services for the deceased and their families.

We also talked about cars on the road and I learned the word "trunk of the car" which is the tail of the car that you can open it and it has a compartment to store something. I also learned the word street light, in fact I learned this word about a month ago. :)

I learned the word "diameter" which means line inside the circle that is past its center - again try to google it if you don't get what I say.

Then we talked about the sign on the street and highway in United States. I learned that United States has U.S. highway and inter-state high way such as i70, i80 and i40 - please correct me if I am wrong. I also learned the word "intersection" which means when two roads meet and they go across each other, we call that place "intersection". We usually have traffic lights at intersections in Thailand.

I learned about Chase Bank which is a well known bank in United States but it doesn't have branches in all states though. The last word I learned in this session is "honking their horn" which mean when you drive your car or truck and you press the button in the middle of the steering wheel it will have sound - what you do is hunk honk the horn.

I liked this session and I always learn new words from you my teacher, Lynne. :)
