Week Five- Copius
Hello all,
It’s time for the Weekly Webster Word. Today, our word is copious. Here is the definition on the Merriam-Webster site:
Copious is a synonym of abundant and plentiful. It is always used before a noun to describe something very large in amount or number.
// The pie was served with a copious amount of ice cream.
// Jacqueline took copious notes during the long lecture and shared them with the rest of her study group.
Today, I’m going to try and give you all a little challenge- try using a different perspective than usual. I’ll be using first person, but if that’s what you normally use, have a go at writing something in third person. Or, you could experiment with second person (you). You don’t have to if you really don’t want to, of course. Here’s my example:
Having drunk a copious amount of cider after the match, even though he knew it’d make Steffie furious, Harry was absolutely wasted. So of course I had to drive him home because there was no way I was letting him go on the bus.
Have fun and stay inspired!
I walked out of my study, rubbing my sore eyes as I made my way to dinner. I strolled past the conference room, then froze in the entrance to the dining hall. The long mahogany banquet table was laden with copious amounts of food, displaying everything from steaming salt-roasted fish to grilled peppers to culatro salad. Small dished of condiments like acerola relish and passionfruit sauce were sitting alongside bowls of labneh and toasted flatbread.
"What do you think?" Leif asked coming up behind me. I turned ot look at him. He was wearing a stained apron, had a piece of culantro in his hair, and his storm gray eyes sparkled, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
"You have salad in your hair," I said, reaching up to flick it away.
