My English teacher is so dull, I can’t stay awake in his class. 5) Outstanding (excellent). You make an outstanding point. 6) Dreadful (bad). I think it’s dreadful how people treat animals sometimes. 7) Quaint (pretty, charming). I live in quaint village in the south-east of the country. 8) Hideous (extremely ugly). My neighbourhood is hideous but the people are nice. 9) Baffling (difficult to understand). It’s baffling that some people believe the earth is flat. 10) Straightforward (simple and easy).

1) Paramount (Important). The paramount thing is that everybody needs to save the money for the rainy day 2) Trifling (Unimportant) . If you want to be somebody in limited time span , you should put the paramount matters as the first priority and put the trifling things the back burner 3) Riveting (Interesting). Ben’s last video is absolutely riveting and just what the doctor order for me. 4) Dull (Boring). Ben's video is really riveting from head to toe that I have a slim of chance to feel dull. 5) Outstanding (excellent). I wish I could be an outstanding student in the class at all times. No wishful thinking comments, please 6) Dreadful (bad).Good people tends to avoid the dreadful things in life . 7) Quaint (pretty, charming). We have a myriad of quaint mountains in the Southern part of Myanmar. 8) Hideous (extremely ugly). My class mate is hideous that I stay steered clear of him. 9) Baffling (difficult to understand). The reports seem to be convoluted and it makes me baffled 10) Straightforward (simple and easy). I am the straightforward and plain sailing person. 11) Sizeable (big). Our company are at the early stage of nascent and need to be invested a sizeable amount of money. 12) Paltry (small, insufficient). Life on the fast lanes are likely to be earned a paltry income and struggle to make ends meet.
