Bonus Point

If someone is horrified, they feel shocked or disgusted, usually because of something that they have seen or heard. It may horrify your parents if you announce that you're dropping out of school to become a professional clown.

Fun with the Word

Things that horrify you fill you with terror or shock. It would horrify you to run into a vampire on dark city streets, and it would also horrify you to be served raw hamburgers for lunch. The emotion that arises when something horrifies you is horror, a word that's the same in Latin, with the literal meaning "a shaking, a trembling, or a shudder."

Thought for the Day


  • Accept both compliments and criticisms. A plant takes both sun and rain to grow.
  • അഭിനന്ദനങ്ങളും വിമർശനങ്ങളും സ്വീകരിക്കുക. ഒരു ചെടി വളരാൻ വെയിലും മഴയും ആവശ്യമാണ്.
  • प्रशंसा और आलोचना दोनों को स्वीकार करें। एक पौधे को बढ़ने के लिए धूप और बारिश दोनों की ज़रूरत होती है।
