MY VOCAB PRACTICE.
Every time i meet a new person, i start with telling them the story of my fight with a leopard in africa 2 years ago.
On my second date i gave as a gift a dandelion, but she only likes roses, so i'm home alone today.
She has met this new guy, but she lost interest in him while beeing in the public swimming pool, because she was scared to see his leonine body for the first time.
Good work!
MY VOCAB PRACTICE:
1.- That man has a leonine style.
2.- The Leopard is a ferocious animal in danger of extinction.
3.- Dandelion is a very small flower that grows in the grass.
When a man has a lot of hair in the style of a lion he is given the concept of Leonine. I do not wear leopard skin outfits because it is an endangered animal and he is part of an ecosystem. The Dandelion is a medicinal plant that grows on the grass and is so small that almost nobody notices it, only when its flower releases its petals and they are all over the air.
Good work!
MY VOCAB PRACTICE.
The homeless man was leonine because he had not shaved in years.
The leopard is one of the fastest hunters on the planet Earth.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE
She did not recognize her husband at first, weeks in the wilderness without a razor had left him leonine in appearance.
