Human behaviour

Hi Muriel, hi everyone,

The article I generaly choose are interesting but, moreover, we must read with an open mind, ready to detect what is new in the vocabulary, with the grammar, with the language and take advantage to progress.

Here in the caption, I personally found 3 words I needed to investigate on (that means I need to look into a dictionary and read about all of the meanings of the noun, the verb, close words...), especially when it's a word that we already know about through a brand (such as Dash, such as Dim): to dash, sneaky, cunningly.

I don't try to memorize, the frequency giving the importance of my learning and memorizing.
Depending on the time I have, I prefer to investigate and not understand in the context (that I would do if I was reading on a train) - my online dictionary is very easy and quick.

As you know I'm very fond of the National Geographic. The level of language of this magazine is a reference. I subscribed and receive the monthly American issue: no street language (it permits me to better make the difference between the levels - imagine that Americans complain as they sometimes don't understand their use of the officiel unit of kg km, etc); imagine that when I read articles, I have to underline about 8 words per page that I need to learn).
The National Geographic is really impressive.

~~ edit

I won't analize the entire text but let me point out the "purchase" that Americans prefer to "buy".
A true pleasure to read NatGeo on line when I can refer to my online dictionary (and not reading on a train - I'm usually taking advantage of train trips to read books).
