"MY VOCAB PRACTICE."

  1. Cardiac.
    I think the family knew when their beloved aunt first went into cardiac arrest, that it was finally the end of a long and dedicated life to her family, grandchildren and great grandchildren who all adored her.

  2. Aquatic.
    The dolphins' aquatic skills are second to none, and they're friendly too.

@majes.tytyty, I'll have you know that I have been craving one of your picture challenges. Any plan on doing something like that again?


Good work!

As for another picture challenge, I haven't done any when I reached the recent milestone 4000 followers. For various, unknown reasons.

But now that you mention it, I might just do it when I hit 5,000 F. Please remind and encourage me at that time. Cheers!

My Vocab Practice

1.-Older people often suffer from cardiac diseases.

2.-I like aquatic sports and water skiing is one of my favorites.

3.-My friend had a dramatic change after the cosmetic surgery.


Good work!

Hmmm, do you think cosmetic surgery would help someone like me ... someone who is not only ugly, but OLD and UGLY?!?!?

Particularly I feel, and this is a very mine point of view, that we should take our years with pride and dignity, taking into account that no matter what we do, the skin will end up yielding and finally falling. I feel it is just living and accepting what comes in the package called "years". Someone said: "When I get old, I do not want to look more beautiful, I just want to see myself happy." A big hug and thanks for your great help!

MY VOCAB PRACTICE

  1. Coughing vigorously during a cardiac arrest can prevent one from losing consciousness.
  2. I had the opportunity to see many aquatic creatures during my visit to Aquaria in KLCC, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
  3. My friend went into a rage episode during a misunderstanding with his brother and the situation turned dramatic quickly.

Good work!

Hmmm, if a smoker smokes so much that he coughs all the time, will that increase his chances of surviving a cardiac arrest?!!?!

Thank you! Yes, it helps as chances are he will be able to maintain consciousness for a minute or two to call for help. During a cardiac arrest, the heart stops beating all of a sudden. Coughing forces more oxygen into the brain and delay losing consciousness and death that might follow if there is no help on time.
