And this is Rob.
Yes, hello, and welcome to Six Minute Vocabulary.
Today we're talking about adjectives that end in I-C, pronounced ick,
and adjectives that end in I-C-A-L, pronounced ickle.
First, let's listen to Hannah.
She's talking about her favourite books.
Our question today is, why does Hannah get most of her books from the library?
Listen carefully and find out.
I'm always reading.
I like classic English novels by writers like Jane Austen or Charles Dickens.
I also like non-fiction, especially books about interesting historical characters.
I love buying books, but it's so expensive.
Mostly, I borrow books from the library.
It's much more economical.
So why does Hannah prefer to get her books from the library?
