context is important
dear, you are putting great efforts by posting important vocabulary from dawn newspaper, but i thing that it would not help anybody as all this is without context and is tantamount to pasting dictionary over here, so if context is provided , then it would be easy to remember them all.
you need to provide time and place the words are used in, then it would be quite meaningful for everybody. |
