Question about 'accomplishments'. Level 2

Hi Teachers,

Could you tell me if these two synoyms, 'efforts, abilities' are appropriate for the word 'accomplishments' according to the context.

Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these accomplishments in your journal.

Thanks in advance
  

Top answer

An effort does not necessarily succeed. An accomplishment is a success at something. An ability is what a person brings with him in order to make an effort and possibly accomplish something.

Hi Mister Micawber,

Thank yu for you reply. Then 'success' is the one, isn't it? Also 'achievemts' is a synomym isn't it?

Could you tell me another one please?

Thanks,

This is the preceding statement, and to me it authorizes none of those terms. I suggest:

Write about this in your journal.

Hi Mister Micawber,

No they aren't. The exercise is taken from a book. But after your last reply I think it is a silly one. Knowing that the book is not for subteens students at all.

Best,
