Expanding vocabulary

There are some words in the first reading (page 124) which I think can be interesting for you to take a look at.
The words are: BRING UP - CURB - MELT - ENDANGER - FLOODS - CHOKING - GAMBLING - STANDARDS - THREATENING
1-Identify the words in the text
2-Try to understand meaning from context, use a dictionary if you can't
3-How would you use those words in a letter or essay? The topic of this imaginary writing is free, it can vary from health, education, addictions, climate, music, to many more.
4-It would be nice to see your ideas in COMMENTS. Remember to write your name when you finish
5- Be creative and have fun. See you !!!!
