Weekly Vocabulary

i just want say there is so many words i do not understand and i learnt a lot from working at UCAOB, i appreciate it. and thank you. Few days ago, my mentor required me to write a report for the article that is called "Political activity by nonprofit organizations(that was hard, and i still haven't done with the report). and the following vocabs are mostly from that article. except the number 10, it was learnt as i working on filing the member's informations, they asked me to cancel out the duplicate addresses and conbain it into one also put "Family" at their first name....additionally, i really want to communicate with more and more people who speaks english. because i think my english speaking skill are getting worse also in my site mostly i only read english but not often useing it orally. so i wish that people in my site would just speak english to me, as i dont understand it. they could use chinese to translate for me. i think it could also help me.

  1. Jai,

    Good list of words and it's also interesting for someone who might want to learn Chinese characters.

    I hope that you will have more opportunities to speak English.
