Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look!
Today we’re tackling the word “permanent,” and it’s quite a thing. The dictionary gives us a good clue, you see –
“A chemical hair treatment, imparting or removing curliness, whose effects typically last for weeks; a perm.”
Now, what does that
really
mean? Let's break it down with some rhymes to help us understand:
"Permanent" means staying put, it’s true!
Like something lasting, strong and new.
Think of it like this: It doesn’t just vanish in the breeze. It sticks around for a while – weeks, as the dictionary states –
It's not fleeting, quick, or light,
But designed to stay, with all its might!
A perm is a good example, you see,
Changing your hair's curl for you and me.
The chemicals work, they hold it tight,
Making that new style last just right.
So “permanent” means
long-lasting
– something that’s here to stay! Do you have any questions about this word, class?
