Vocabulary—New Word: ALOOF
1. Write down three situations in which a person might keep himself/herself ALOOF from others. Make sure you write them down in enough detail that I can see your thinking.
2. Talk to me about one of your situations.
EXAMPLES:
· I might keep myself ALOOF from other people if I’m a foreign exchange student, and I don’t know how to speak the language.
· I might be ALOOF if I’m tired, because I stay away from people so I can rest.
· I might be ALOOF if I’m in the grocery store and see someone I know, but I don’t want to talk to them, so I dart into a different aisle.
