Week 16 Wilma Unlimited Vocabulary

Review Words Advise – tell someone what you think he or she should do Gruff – unpleasant or rude Lively – active Snug – comfortable, warm, and cozy Sorrowful – full of sorrow or very sad

LIVELY Lively means to be “active” If someone is lively, the person is energetic and full of life Even though Wilma was often very sick, she was a lively child. Wilma’s love of running and jumping shows that she is lively

MEMORABLE Wilma worked hard to learn to walk again without her leg brace. “Memorable” means “worth remembering” −It is something that is not easy to forget −The day Wilma and her mother mailed the brace to the hospital was memorable, or worth remembering because Wilma hated the brace and from then on she would not have to wear it.

“THROW YOURSELF INTO SOMETHING” Wilma Unlimited tells how Wilma became a champion athlete. When Wilma stopped wearing her leg brace, she was able to take part in the sports and games she could not play before. “Throw yourself into something” means “do something with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.” −You work hard and do your very best −Wilma threw herself into basketball, or played it with lots of enthusiasm and did her very best.

INTENSE Intense means “very great or strong” Because the Olympics would be on television, millions of people would be watching Wilma and the other athletes. This put intense, or very great, pressure on them because they did not want to fail with so many people watching.

EXHILARATED Exhilarated means “ about the same thing as happy with this important difference: if you are exhilarated, you are not just a little happy, you are very happy and excited” Early you learned the word delirious which also means “very happy and excited.’ These words are synonyms. Wilma had won her first gold medal in the 100 meter dash and was preparing to run her next race. Wilma felt exhilarated after her second win.

ASTOUNDING Astounding means “amazing” Astounding means about the same thing as surprising. If something is astounding it’s very amazing or surprising.
