Word 11:
CAPRICIOUS
(kuh-PRISH-us)
Unpredictable, tending to change abruptly for no apparent or logical reason.
Synonyms of capricious include flighty, changeable, impulsive, and
fickle. More difficult synonyms include erratic, whimsical (W(H)IM-zi-kul),
volatile (VAHL-uh-tul), and mercurial (mur-KYUR-ee-ul).
A caprice (kuh-PREES) is a sudden change of mind or change in the emotions. A person or a thing that is capricious is subject to caprices—to
abrupt, unpredictable changes: “He's so capricious, his mood changes with
the wind”; “New England has a capricious climate”; “The stock market is
notoriously capricious.”
Did you notice that my recommended pronunciation for capricious is
kuh-PRISH-us, the second syllable rhyming with wish? You will hear
educated speakers say kuh-PREE-shus, a pronunciation based on the
corresponding noun caprice (kuh-PREES). This variant has been
recognized by American dictionaries since the 1960s. But authorities have
preferred kuh-PRISH-us since the 18th century, when pronunciation was
first recorded. Current American dictionaries list kuh-PRISH-us first, and it
is the only pronunciation in the Oxford English Dictionary. Have you ever
heard anyone put an E in the middle of suspicious, judicious, or avaricious
? Rhyme capricious with delicious.

A Test taker's experience:
امتحان من صبح بیست و یکم نوامبر در موسسه امیربهادر بود.ریدینگ متن های طولانی داشت و نیاز به تمرکز و تسلط بالا برای پاسخگویی در زمان مناسب داشت. لیسنینگ لانگ بود همونی که خانومه کارت شناسایی و غذاش رو گم کرده. بقیه لیسنینگ ها هم عینا لیسنینگ هایی بود که استاد سر کلاس برامون گذاشته بودن در مورد اون جزایر آتشفشانی بالای ژاپن و ....برای قسمت اسپیکینگ پرسیده بود استراتژی شما برای اینکه بتوانید تمرین یا پروژه کاریتون انجام بشه چیه و سوال سوم در مورد این بود که آدمهای بیرون دانشگاه با پرداخت پول در باشگاه دانشگاه ورزش کنن که هم با پولشون و بدون اینکه دانشجوها و کارمندان دانشگاه پول بدن لوازم ورزشی باشگاه جدید بشن چون در وضع خوبی نیستن و هم اینکه دانشگاهشون توی شهر کوچیکیه و تعداد زیادی آدم نمیان که شلوغ بشه و باشگاه به اندازه کافی جای خالی داره..سوال چهارم تعریف Generalization
بود که مثال زده بود که بچه استاد وقتی سه سالش بوده بهش اولین قطارشو دادن بهش گفتن این اسمش قطاره ولی یه روز که سوار ماشین بودن و جلوی تقاطع ریل توقف کرده بودن تا قطار عبور کنه به بچه گفتن که این قطاره بچه گیج شده بود ولی بعدا که 4 سالش شده بود خودش کاملا متوجه بود که یک واژه میتونه به بیشتر از یه شئ خاص مربوط باشه.سوال پنجم هم تکراری بود پسره میخواست با همکلاسی های کلاس فرانسه اش بره ونکوور که اونجا بتونن فرانسه حرف بزنن ولی پول بلیط قطار نداشت یا باید یه هفته 10 ساعت اضافه کار میکرد که چون نزدیک امتحانات بودن سخت میشد یا باید یه چیزی میفروخت به یکی از بچه های دانشگاه که گفت مثلا گیتارمو میفروشم که میتونم اینجوری توی ونکوور پول داشته باشم خرج کنم ولی از طرفی دیگه گیتار نخواهم داشت.سوال ششم هم تکراری بود فواید مشتری رو گفت که از طرفی وقتی راضی باشن به بقیه هم میگن راضی بودن از کیفیت بالا مثلا اگه از مکانیکشون راضی باشن ماشین دوستشون خراب بشه بهش میگن برو پیش این مکانیک که خوبه و اون دوستشونم به دوستاش میگه و مشتری ها اینجوری زیاد میشن و از سوی دیگه مشتری وقتی راضی باشه میتونه کمک کنه به کار فروشنده مثلا استاد خودش رفته بوده کتابفروشی که همیشه میره و یه زوج دیده بوده که آقا داشته به خانم میگفته نمیدونم اینحا کتاب تاریخی میفروشن یا نه و استاد میشنوه اینو و میره جلو بهشون میگه بله کتاب تاریخی هم دارن.
رایتینگ اول در مورد فواید روغن پالم بود که در لیسنینگ رد شده بود.ریدینگ گفته بود روغن پالم ازش یه نوع سوخت درست میکنن که کمتر باعث گرمایش زمین میشه تا سوخت فسیلیو برای ایجاد روغن پالم باید درخت پالم بکارن پس به جنگلسازی کمک میکنه و به کشاورزای کوچیک کمک میکنه به لحاظ اقتصادی. اما لیسنینگ میگفت برای کاشتن درخای پالم باید گیاهای موجود رو از بین ببرن و این جنگلسازی نیست بلکه عکس این هست با افزایش تقاضای پالم داره
Deforestation
بیشتر میشه و کشاورزای بزرگ برای شود بیشتر در حال بیشتر کاشتن هستند و کشاورزهای کوچیک دارن سود خیلی کمی میبرن و برای کاشتن درختان پالم باید اول زمین
Clear
بشه که با سوختی به نام
peat
میسوزونن که این خودش بیشتر از سوخت فسیلی دی اکسید کربن آزاد میکنه.و موشصوع
