- T: Does anyone know a word that means wanting to do something very much in a strong –
minded way?

- T: That's a good suggestion. But the word I'm thinking of also means that not allowing
anyone or any difficulties to stop you. (Teacher makes a fist and shows the picture on the
screen.)
- S2: Determination?
- T: Excellent! That's it! But not determination – different ending. Anyone?
- S3: Determined.
