👉 In an efficient or effective manner; with powerful effect.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling the word “effectively,” and it’s a really important one to understand. The dictionary gives us a good starting point – "in an efficient or effective manner; with powerful effect." Let's break that down, shall we? “Efficient” means doing something well and using resources wisely. Think of it like this: you’re building a tower of blocks - are you stacking them quickly and without wasting any? That’s efficiency! You're getting the job done smartly. Now, "Effective" is slightly different. It means actually achieving your goal. It’s not just about doing something; it's about whether it works . Let’s say you try to teach a friend how to tie their shoes. Did they actually learn? Did they successfully tie the knot? That was an effective attempt! “Effectively” then combines both – it means doing something in a way that both makes it efficient and actually achieves what you intended. It’s about getting results, smartly! Think of it like this rhyme: “To do something effectively, use your brain with dexterity!” So, to recap: effectively means doing something well and successfully – a powerful combination, wouldn't you agree? Now, can anyone give me an example of how they’ve tried to be effective in their day? Don’t be shy!
