DIALOGUE

Ok, let’s begin with the dialogue:

Recently there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the presidential elections. However, yesterday I read an article in the newspaper that was trying to dispel any doubts people have about the new presidential candidate. It said that he has been working in diverse communities for years, trying to make our country a better place to live in. After reading the article, my opinion of him changed a little.

Recently there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the presidential elections. However, yesterday I read an article in the newspaper that was trying to dispel any doubts people have about the new presidential candidate. It said that he has been working in diverse communities for years, trying to make our country a better place to live in. After reading the article, my opinion of him changed a little.

Ok great, now let’s go over the two new vocabulary words that were in the dialogue.

FIRST VOCABULARY WORD

The first vocabulary word was…

“Dispel” (repeat)

Now, repeat after me…

This vocabulary word means to remove fears, doubts, or false ideas, usually by proving them wrong or unnecessary.
