Spelling words / Spelling list 2

Hola!!
Aquí esta el articulo que les prometí de las palabras del Spelling. Las palabras incluyen significado en español, significado en inglés y una oración de ejemplo. Se que algunas palabras no incluyen significado pero es solo debido a que son palabras que por decirlo de alguna manera son super obvias y de verdad que no necesitan que se las explique.
En caso de que tengan alguna duda sobre alguna palabra les recomiendo que busquen las palabras en esta página: http://www.wordreference.com/definition. Espero que esto les sea de mucha ayuda y el viernes les llevaré la lista para que la peguen en sus cuadernos.
