Well, I'm glad the exams are over as shit as my results can be :P. Let's jump straight into this blog.
Thesaurus. Everyone likes using them, right? Just in case you have no idea what exactly is a thesaurus, I'll explain here. Unfortunately, its not a name for a newly discovered dinosaur, though that is probably going to be the laziest name I can think of other than "Ekans" and "Arbok", which are snake-type Pokemons. In case you didn't get that, rearrange the words from back to front.
Anyway, a thesaurus is where you can find synonyms and antonyms for a word. It's like a dictionary, but instead of finding definitions of a word, you'll find several renditions of it. It is certainly most useful when you need to write the same thing in the same paragraph twice, reducing the amount of repeated words, and ultimately makes your essay/blog/whatever-that-is-you're-writing much more interesting and less boring. All in all, a good tool.
So recently Pn Monica introduced us this quiz generating websites that utilize a thesaurus to generate synonymous words. You're given one of them, and out of a selection of four words, you need to select the correct one in 10 seconds. A pretty fun challenge to my mind, so here are some of my attempts.
I only got a decent result after like, 3 tries, so it proves that I need more reading to get better results.
Either way, it's still a pretty fun game to my mind. Allows you to pass the time while learning a few new words to bolster your English language knowledge.

I think that's it for this blog post. Have a nice weekend.
