Word of the Week

controversy

Meaning a public disagreement or a public heated discussion over time.

Example of using it in a sentence "How to deliver quality Home-schooling is a controversy within education."

Here we have another Latin word with the idea of inner thoughts and inner knowledge. The ‘con’ meaning ‘with’ and the ‘versus’ meaning ‘turned against or disputed.’ You are making a conscious effort to say something against the main stream idea.

Spelling tip: we are going to say the sounds here separately and spell it separately too!

con + tr + o + v + er + s + y

Use the word as many times throughout the week. This can be verbally, in your written work or listen out for other people using it.
