Here are five useful ones to get you started \u2013 along with some example sentences and relevant <mdspan datatext=\"el1645628498171\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">discussion questions<\/mdspan>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you're at it, make sure to try out our new virtual background! \ud83c\udf38\ud83c\udf38\ud83c\udf38<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\" datatext=\"\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2022\/03\/24140506\/cherry_blossom_background_960_722.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Flowery_adj\"><\/span>1. <mdspan datatext=\"el1645204286505\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">Flowery<\/mdspan> (adj.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Flowery\" originally described something that's covered in or decorated with flowers. These days, we usually use it to describe language that's too fancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Flowery<\/strong> writing will make your point less clear.<\/li><li>Shakespeare's writing is considered <strong>flowery<\/strong> by modern-day standards.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Learners often confuse \"flowery\" with \"floral.\" You might want to explain that \"flowery\" is usually used to describe language, while \"floral\" is used to describe things related to flowers (e.g. \"floral smell\").<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some questions you can discuss with students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Can you share some flower-related words in your language? <\/li><li>Is flowery language acceptable in your language?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Late-Bloomer_n\"><\/span>2. Late-Bloomer (n.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When a flower opens up, it \"<a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/bloom\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAEhZfg\">blooms<\/a>\": e.g. \"The flowers in our garden are <em>blooming<\/em>.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common expression that uses \"bloom\" is \"late bloomer.\" A late-blooming flower blooms in autumn \u2013 much later than other flowers. In the same way, someone who is a \"late bloomer\" grows, becomes successful, or does something later than other people their age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I was a <strong>late bloomer<\/strong>. I only started getting taller in my teens.<\/li><li>Most figure skaters start competing as children, but Sara is a <strong>late bloomer<\/strong> who started in her teens.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some questions related to this word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do you think it's better to be a late bloomer or an early bloomer? Why?<\/li><li>Have you or anyone in your life ever felt like a late bloomer in some way?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Blossom_n_v\"><\/span>3. <mdspan datatext=\"el1645204318663\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">Blossom<\/mdspan> (n., v.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\"<a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/blossom\/zga0ELstQmCjlQAAAADKFw\">Blossoms<\/a>\" refer to flowers on trees and bushes, especially ones that produce fruit. That's why we don't call cherry blossoms \"flowers\" even though they're technically also flowers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Blossom\" also has a verb form: e.g. \"Our apple tree is <em>blossoming.<\/em>\" As a verb, it can be used to describe that something is developing well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rock and roll <strong>blossomed<\/strong> in the 1950s.<\/li><li>His career <strong>blossomed<\/strong> after he changed jobs.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some questions you can ask your students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Is there anything in your life now that you would like to see \"blossom\"?<\/li><li>What are some things that you would say are \"<mdspan datatext=\"el1645624605491\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">blossoming<\/mdspan>\" in your country?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Budding_adj\"><\/span>4. Budding (adj.)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A \"<a href=\"https:\/\/engoo.com\/app\/words\/word\/bud\/VCWTXc7eQ5iOuhxuudWzfA\">bud<\/a>\" is \"a small growth on a plant that develops into a leaf or flower\": e.g. \"The first&nbsp;<em>buds<\/em>&nbsp;on these trees usually appear in early March.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> We can also describe people and things as \"budding\" if they're just starting to develop and seem promising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Jon is a <strong>budding<\/strong> journalist. At the age of 15, he's writing for the local newspaper.<\/li><li>Justin Bieber's fans are sad about his <strong>budding <\/strong>romance with a model.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some discussion questions related to this word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Do you have any budding skills or talents? Any new hobbies you're starting to explore?<\/li><li>Do you know the word \"taste bud\"? Why do you think they're called \"buds\" too?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Nip_in_the_Bud_idiom\"><\/span>5. <strong>Nip in the Bud<\/strong> (idiom)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Nipping something in the bud\" literally means to cut off the bud so a plant cannot flower. So if you \"nip something in the bud,\" you take actions early to prevent a problem from becoming worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>My daughter has started smoking and I want to <strong>nip that in the bud<\/strong>.<\/li><li>Because the cancer was detected at an early stage, doctors were able to <strong>nip it in the bud<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some questions related to this phrase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Are there any bad habits you want to nip in the bud?<\/li><li>What are some issues that you wish had <mdspan datatext=\"el1645628478512\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">been nipped in the bud?<\/mdspan><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%91%8B_Thats_It_For_Now\"><\/span>\ud83d\udc4b That&#8217;s It For Now!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this gave you an idea of some words you can teach students this season.
