Walks in Countryside Flashcards
Generation X
Generation X, the age group before millennials born in the 1960s, 70s, 80.
Are you a millennial, Neil?
No, actually I’m generation X.
In the survey what percentage of people gave the poor soical media photo opportunity as their reason for not wanting to venture out into the countryside?
30 percent.
Millennials
Millennials, refer to people who are young adults now, people who were born in the 1980s & 1990s.
I can’t believe that 4 in 10 millennials think that they should spend more time in the countryside & a quarter of them know & believe that it’s much better & easier to relax in the countryside … .
Phenomenal
Phenomenal, this adj. means that sth is incredible, it’s often used for sth that is positive. Sth that is very amazing or impressive.
Sth phenomenal is amazing, surprising & unbelievable.
They’re just not going out.
It’s phenomenal.
To Venture out Somewhere
To venture out somewhere suggests that it’s a big challenge, or even a risky activity.
It’s all about how fewer & fewer people are venturing out into the country.
… wanting to venture out into the countryside.
I still decided to venture out to the shops.
It’s not a lot of fun to go out if it’s cold & pouring with rain.
Well, a very wise person once said:
“There is no such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong clothing.
Distractions
A distraction is sth that takes your attention away from doing sth. Usually we think of a distraction as sth that delays us from doing sth more important.
There are just so many distractions & it’s just so easy for people to stay indoors.
Instagramable
Put the suffix “able” onto the end of the name of a social media platform & You create a word that describes sth that is suitable for posting.
Why would you go for a walk in the rain in the country if You couldn’t get good snaps for your social media account?
That is not even instagramable!!
