👉 A statement, especially one given under oath; testimony
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling the word “testimonials,” and it’s a lovely one to learn. The dictionary gives us a good start – "a statement, especially one given under oath; testimony.” Let's unpack that a bit, shall we? Think of it like this: when someone testifies , they’re sharing something important, often something truthful and confirmed. It’s like saying “I swear to goodness, this is what I saw!” Now, "testimonials" are a little different. They're not always sworn in formally, you see. Instead, they’re positive words from people who have used or experienced something – a product, a service, even an idea. They're like happy reports! Imagine a bakery with delicious cakes - a testimonial might be someone saying, "This cake was absolutely amazing! The frosting was perfect and the flavors were divine!" It’s a genuine recommendation from a satisfied customer. So, “testimonials” are essentially encouraging words, spoken by others, to show how good something is. They're designed to convince you – or perhaps even just make you smile! Do you have any questions about that? Perhaps you want to give me an example of a testimonial you’ve heard?
