STOP SAYING VERY

"STOP SAYING VERY"

It was summer holidays and all schools were closed. Students were excited to go on a vacation with their families. Amy was also excited about the same. Her father was in Army and had recently returned home. As usual, Amy's family decided to visit some exotic places like Hawaii or Mexico but, Amy insisted to go to Amusement Park, California. After a lot of discussion, they decided to visit  Amusement Park. Next day Amy went to visit Amusement Park and had a great time. 

One week passed and school reopened. 

As it was the first day at school after the summer vacations, Miss Marie who was the  the class teacher of Amy, asked the students to write how they spent their summer vacations in their notebooks. 

The students wrote about their summer holidays. 

Miss Marie called each student at the front and asked them to read whatever they wrote. Some students talked about visiting their granny's place, while some talked about visiting some exotic locations.  

It was Amy's turn. She shared her experience of visiting an amusement park with her family.

" It was my fourteenth birthday and my father also came on holidays. I was very very  happy and very very excited to go to amusement park because it was my first time. I went with my family to the amusement park. That day we woke up very very early in the morning and I was feeling very sleepy because I could not sleep at night because I was very very excited to go to amusement park. We reached amusement park at 10 am. We  bought the tickets and entered inside the park. The park was very very big and there were lots and lots of .... "

"Stop saying very Amy" Miss Marie interrupted. "I think you all should work on your vocabulary" . "What is vocabulary miss? "Miss words don't come to mind when I want to say something in English.... "the students enquired. 

So, we see that the students were basically struggling to communicate, to express their thoughts, ideas and opinions. In our daily life, we also face this kind of situation where we want to speak, communicate our ideas and thoughts but we cannot, simply because words don't come to mind when we try to say something. Do you agree? And why do you think it happens ?
