Learn Vocabulary from the lesson

sweaty or uncomfortable

I don't like being hot and sweaty and uncomfortable.

We are 'sweaty' when we are really hot or when we exercise. Sweat is when water leaves your body through your skin. When we don't feel right or normal we feel 'uncomfortable.' Being uncomfortable can mean we are physically uncomfortable like too hot, too cold, sick, hungry or even emotionally uncomfortable like embarrassed. Notice the following:

I'm sweaty because I just finished running.

Is that chair uncomfortable?

go away

When it's hot, we usually go away on the weekends to relax.

When we take a trip or a vacation to a place we 'go away' there. Notice the following:

You need to go away for a weekend.

We go away for a little vacation every March.
