ENGH 121-122 | 2013-2014 Winter Break Vocabulary Below are 125 words from the two articles you

must read during the winter break. Complete the chart (one for each article) by adding information about the part of speech (also called word form) and a definition for each term. Since many of the words can be used as different parts of speech, give the part of speech as it is used in the article (page numbers are listed). If you already know the meaning of the word, write a short definition of it. If you do not know a term or to confirm your knowledge, first use a dictionary to find definitions and synonyms, then write your definition in English in your own words using synonyms that you understand; in other words, write the shortest, most concise definitions you can so that they are easy to remember.
