The Positive Vocabulary List


Listen Later









Being positive is not always easy in a world that gives us plenty of reasons not to be!
Mainly to change the pace a little from the daily dose of grammar points that I send you, I thought I might give you a list of words that you can be positive about.
This is not a list I’ve compiled, in fact I’d find it hard to get too positive about some listed words like ‘drool‘ and ‘juicy‘ and I have a few doubts about just how much bending of the meaning we need to do to make words like ‘shy‘,’spice‘ and ‘tan‘ positive. Maybe that’s why the magazine, Competitors Journal, that first published this list of Bob Hitching’s Positive Words no longer exists!
Anyway, for those of us sitting in the Northern Hemisphere, winter is coming and its time to ward off the cold, bleak weather with a bit of positive vocabulary. Who knows, you may even find that you can use one or two of these gems of positive vocabulary in your next email, letter or essay.
For those of you who are only listening to the podcast, you can find the printed list on the English4Today blog site or the Grammar FAQ.
So here it is … I hope you find it absorbing, admirable and absolutely appealing!
