Six minute vocabulary from BBC learning English.
Hello, and welcome to six minute vocabulary.
I'm Katherine.
And I'm Finn.
Hello.
Today's programme is all about lexical sets.
That's right.
Lexical sets help us to learn words by grouping them together by topic or word type.
So more on that later, but first, here's Dave.
He's talking about a flood that happened in his hometown recently.
And here's a question to answer while you what happened to all of Dave's possessions?
Well, we had so much rain, it said on the news we got a month's rainfall in just one day.
The water level rose so high that the river burst its banks and water poured into everyone's houses.
It's terrible.
My house was flooded, all my things were completely soaked and the carpets are still waterlogged.
Oh, dear.
Dave.
Yes.
