Let´s talk about...

Unit 3 C- Defining Relative Clauses

      Look at this dictionary definition . What do you think the missing word is?


___________________ is a person who puts metal in your mouth and takes coins out of your pocket.


A  different kind of dictionary


Ambroce Bierce was a 19th-century American author and journalist. His most popular book is probably the Devil's Dictionary, written between 1881 and 1887. Bierce's dictionary does not contain normal definitions- his definitions are funny and cynical. For example, in a normal dictionary , the definition od dentist is " a kind of doctor who looks after people's teeth". But in the Devil's Dictionary , the definition of a dentist is " a person who puts metal in your outh and takes coins out of your pocket".

Look some more example but this time look for the owrd to complete the following definitions!

A BANK - A BORING PERSON- THE BRAIN- A STAR- A FRIEND- A SECRET


1. _________________ is a person who works all her life to become famous and then wears sunglasses so people don't recognize her.

2. _________________ is something which you only tell one person.

3. _________________ is somebody who talks about himself when you want to talk about yourself.

4. _________________ is somebody who dislikes the same people as you.

5. _________________ is a place where you can borrow money only if you can show that you don't need it.

6. _________________ is something which starts working when you get up in the morning and stops working when you get to work or school.
