| Phrase | character |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "character" means personality or distinctive characteristics or traits that make one different from other people: "This room has a lot of character!" A "character" is also one person in a story: "Talented actors enjoy playing many different types of characters." If an actor is "in character," he or she is acting well, without reverting to his or her own reactions: "It must be so hard to stay in character when the other actors do something funny!" When talking about a keyboard or typing, a "character" is one letter or symbol: "This form only allows us to type in 400 characters." Finally, if something is "character-building," it is an experience that teaches people to be stronger or to develop good ethics or resilience: "Volunteering at the homeless shelter was a good character-building experience for Miko." |
