TOEFL iBT December 12, 2015 Speaking Task 4: @aalaeeTOEFLiBT In the lecture, the professor introduces the concept of loss aversion. He offers an example to illustrate it. The professor once went to a supermarket and bought food which cost him 20 dollars, but the cashier made a mistake and charged him 30 dollars instead. When the professor realized the mistake, he had to drive all the way back to the supermarket to get his 10 dollars back. But a couple of days later, his friend told him that a new cafe in town was giving 10 dollars to whoever was willing to try their new coffee, but the professor just wasn't interested in going at all. @aalaeeTOEFLiBT

Word of the Day: CREED (rhymes with need) Belief, professed faith or opinion, especially a system of religious belief. Synonyms include doctrine and dogma. In the United States it is illegal to discriminate against someone based on race or creed, belief. Creed comes from the Latin credo, “I believe,” the source of the English word credo (KREE-doh or, like the Latin, KRAY-doh). A credo is a declared set of beliefs or opinions. Credo and creed are synonymous. Credo is the more learned (LUR-nid) word, usually reserved for a formal declaration of belief. Creed is used more generally of any professed faith or opinion. The Latin credo is also the source of incredible, not believable, credible, believable, and credulous (KREJ-uh-lus). Credulous means inclined to believe, willing to accept something as true without questioning. Credulous and gullible are synonymous. To a credulous person, even the most outrageous tall tales seem credible.

Word of the Day:PRECOCIOUSNESS (pruh-KOH-shus-nis) Early development or maturity, especially in mental ability.The noun precociousness and the adjective precocious come from theLatin praecox, which means premature, or literally, “ripening before its time.” Precocious is most often used of children whose intellectual or emotional development is unusually advanced.

Word of the Day: CONCUR(kun-KUR) To agree, be in accord with, unite in opinion. Concur comes from the Latin con-, together, and currere, to run, flow, and means literally to run or flow together, go along with. That derivation has led to three slightly different meanings of the word. First, concur may be used to mean to act together, combine in having an effect, as “Time and chance concurred in our success.” Second, concur may be used to mean happen together, occur at the same time, coincide, as “His pay raise concurred with his promotion.” The third and most common meaning of concur is to agree, as “Your story concurs with theirs”; “We concurred on almost every point of negotiation.”
