Two questions
|
|
Dear All ;-) I have two questions. Would you mind helping me out? 1) I don �t know what my student meant. Here is her sentence: And forests are destroyed several times speed of growth speed forests and trees. ( presentation on deforestation) 2) What are onomatopeic words for fear? (I tried to google them but to no avail.) Thanks in advance, E. |

I dont really understand what your student has written. MAybe she means that trees are being chopped down ta a much faster rate than new ones can grow to replace them.
MMm not sure about no 2...

Yes, I �m sure Lynne has it right. I would re-word it as "And forests are being destroyed at several times the speed with which new forests and trees can grow." Bruce |

Onomatopoeia for fear would be sounds that you make when you �re scared right? The best I can think of is EEP! and ACK! (more surprise). I �ve seen a lot of people write "GASP!" and "GULP!" as if they were onomatopoeia. I think they express the sentiment well, even if they aren �t necessarily onomatopoeia. On a side note, that �s the most I �ve ever written onomatopoeia in my life! Hehe! |

More ideas for onomatopoeia of fear: Aaargh! is what we say when we scream. Oh! and Eek! can express surprise. Ghosts say "woo" for some reason. |

Thank you so much for your suggestions.
All very precious!
I kept searching the Internet and finally found something interesting: Dictionary of Interjections. There �s only one iterjection forfear there: "ａａａａａwｈ!"
Have a good day.
