👉 A structure that bars passage.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look! You’ve got the dictionary in your hand, a wonderful tool to understand, And it tells us ‘barrier’ – a word quite grand. "A structure that bars passage," you see, That's exactly what it means for you and me! Think of a fence around a garden bright, Or a wall blocking shadows in the night. It could be something physical, strong and tall, Like a mountain range or a waterfall. But sometimes “barrier” isn’t just a thing, you know, It can be an idea, a feeling that won't go! A fear, a doubt, a prejudice too – These things can block our progress, it's true! So remember this: a barrier stops what flows, It hinders movement, as everyone knows. Do you have any questions about the word today?
