レッスンで出てきた文法・単語VOCABULARY:
-confident
-now that
-fortnight

GRAMMAR AND EXPLANATION:
Using nouns as adjectives
1. We can often use a noun as an adjective in English simply by putting it immediately before another noun, as in the expression "train station". When we do this. the word ''train" becomes an adjective to describe the noun ''station". For example, a shoe shop is a shop; the word "shoe" tells us what it sells. A book cover is a cover for a book.
2. Sometimes, these expressions are used so often that they eventually become one word. For example, ''ashtray", "bedroom", "toothbrush" etc.

SENTENCE STRUCTURED:
-I ate curry rice in our company's cafeteria.
-I will play with my cats after the lesson.
-There is a fireworks festival here in our my place tomorrow.
-The festival will start at 5:00 pm and the fireworks display will start at 7:00 pm.
-I will watch it tomorrow.
-We can often use a noun as an adjective in English simply by putting it immediately before another noun.

-We eat dinner from a dinner plate.
-No, even though I'm at this stage of your English studies, I don't think I'd be able to travel abroad confident of making myself understood in the language.

DICTATION 84:
