September 15, 2011 - Word of the Day: faucet

The word of the day is "faucet" because I found out yesterday that many of my students aren't familiar with this word. The faucet in your home is part of a sink. On the left side, you turn on the faucet for hot water; on the right side, you turn on the faucet for cold water. All faucets have at least one turn-on valve and the area where the water comes out.

• The faucet is leaking. He needs to fix the faucet.

• I bought a new faucet for my kitchen last year because the old faucet was worn out.

• There's a faucet in the backyard that's used for watering the lawn.
