The Vocabulary Lesson

Hello, my superstar student. This is Alex – your English teacher. Welcome to the vocabulary lesson for “Supercat”.

In this lesson I am going to tell you the same story and I am going to explain some words to help you understand them better. Let’s get started.

There is a cat. Her name is Jane. Jane has blue eyes and she is grey. She wants to be like Superсat, because Superсat is her heroine.

Okay, I will explain the word heroine in a minute. But first I want to talk about to be like. She wants to be like Superсat.

Our first word, our first phrase is to be like. To be like means to be similar something or someone, resembling something or someone.

Jane wants to be like Supercat. It means that Jane wants to resemble Supercat. She wants to be similar to Supercat. Jane wants to be like Supercat, because Supercat is her heroine.

Our next word is a heroine. A heroine means a woman who has heroic qualities. In other words, heroine is a woman who is courageous and fearless. Jane wants to have heroic qualities. Jane wants to be courageous and fearless. Jane wants to be like Supercat, because Supercat is her heroine.

Next we see a question – What does Supercat look like?

We usually ask this question when we want to know what is her appearance? What colour are her eyes? What colour is her fur? And so on. What does Supercat look like? What is her appearance? I think you get the idea.

Superсat has super-green eyes and she is purple. Okay, our next word is super-green. Super-green means very very very green. Super-green eyes – very, very, very green eyes. Supercat has super-green eyes. Her eyes are very very very green. Her eyes are super-green.

Jane wants to be just like Supercat. Here we see the phrase just like. Just like – is another way to say look like or is like. Just like Supercat – means Jane wants to look like Supercat. She wants to be exactly like Supercat. She wants to be just like Supercat.

From the story you already know that Jane wants not only look like Supercat, but she also wants to be just like Supercat.

Jane wants to jump and run like Superсat. Jane wants to walk and talk like Superсat. And of course, she wants to dress like Superсat.

Our next word is to dress. Here to dress is a verb. And it means to put on clothes and wear clothes. Jane wants to put on the same clothes like Supercat. She wants to wear clothes like Supercat does. Jane wants to dress like Supercat.

And every day Jane wears Superсat outfit.

Alright, our next word is – outfit. Outfit means a special set of clothes. Supercat outfit is a special set of clothes that Supercat wears. A special set of clothes that she puts on and she wears. Like Superman outfit or Batman outfit or Spiderman outfit. You get the idea, right? Jane wears Supercat outfit every day.

One day Jane is walking along the street. And she sees raccoons robbing a jewelry shop.

Here we have the verb to rob. To rob means to take money or something illegally. Jane sees raccoons taking money and jewelries from the shop illegally.

Our next word is a jewelry shop. Of course, you know what it means, but one more time let me explain it to you. A jewelry shop is a shop where you can buy jewelries. It’s easy. You can go buy things like: rings, bracelets and necklaces. And you can put them on and wear them.

From the story we know what Jane does next, right?

She runs to the jewelry shop. She catches the raccoons. And suddenly Supercat appears. I mean real Supercat appears. She helps Jane bring the raccoons to the police station.

Here I want you to focus on the word to bring. To bring here means to carry or take something or someone to somewhere. In our case, Supercat helps Jane carry the raccoons to the police station. Supercat helps Jane take the raccoons to the police station. Supercat helps Jane bring the raccoons to the police station.

Now Supercat and Jane are working together.

Jane understands that she can do good things without having superpower.

Our last word for today is to do good things. Actually, this is our last expression for this vocabulary lesson do good things. Do good things means to help or to be of use. Jane can help people without having superpower. She can be of use. She can help people to feel safe and peaceful in the town. Jane understands that she can do good things without having superpower. In other words, you don’t need to have superpower to help other people to have happy and peaceful lives.

This is the end of the vocabulary lesson for our first story “Supercat”.

Listen to the vocabulary lesson one or two times a day. It will help you to understand the story better. It will help you to use the words correctly. And it will certainly help you to speak better.

What do you do next? Next you have your bonus lesson, where I tell the same story but in the past tense. Go get it.

Your Bonus Lesson

Hello my superstar English student! This is Alex and this is your bonus lesson. In this lesson I am going to tell you the exact same story but in the past tense. We are going back. Imagine! See in your head it was five years ago. Just listen and enjoy the story!
