Day 2

cogent: convincing, reasonable

When I really want something from my parents, I look at the pros and co's of what I'll be asking for before I approach them. This helps make my point cogent which convinces my parents simply by using more pros than cons.

cohesive: condition of sticking together

When I write for any English class, I always have to make sure that my points in my essays are cohesive. By making my points cohesive, I'm making my essay easier to understand since each point connects nicely.

didactic: intended to instruct

When I give my Bible Lesson at Church to my 4-6 year old students, I use a lot of Object Lessons. Object Lessons are didactic and help me keep the attention of my students while I instruct them.

discourse: verbal expression or exchange; conversation

I tend to be able to have a discourse with anyone at anytime. Seeing as I'm very open, it makes it easier for me to have conversations with people as opposed to some who have a harder time opening up to others.

fluid: easily flowing

When my family gets together, the house is anything but quiet. Our conversations are always fluid and we all take turns talking about old memories and laughing at the ridiculousness of what we came up with when we were younger.

implication: the act of suggestion or hinting

When I received my report card yesterday, I saw that one of my teachers said that my only weakness was getting patron letters and thank you notes out on time. Her implication was that I wasn't a prompt or prepared person but didn't want to make it sound so harsh so she hinted at it instead.

lucid: easily understood

Some math teachers give lessons that are lucid. It's easy to grasp the different terms and formulas from these lessons. Others, give lessons that are very hard to understand meaning that they aren't very lucid and confuse their students even more than before.
