My name is Alexis Pavao. I have been Police Technology for two years. This glossary will help other students to use deeper words in English in their interactions. More precisely, it will help students during their simulations. It has a total of twenty words. There is a lot of information for every word (part of speech, pronunciation, definition, translation, example and picture). I will find the words using virtualwritingtutor.com and my exercise book and the definition using Google. Be concentrated while you are reading this enriching glossary.
