Episode Title | Being a Strict Parent |
Phrase | structured |
Text | The word "structured," in this podcast, means with a lot of organization, form, and shape, without flexibility and without changing: "His presentation was so highly structured that nobody felt comfortable interrupting to ask questions." Or, "At this preschool, the children are involved in structured activities all day long, with no time for free play." A "structure" is also a building or something else made from many smaller parts: "Have you seen the new structure they're building on the corner of Fourth Street and Madison Avenue?" Or, "Archeologists discovered some ancient stone structures buried beneath the earth." Finally, "structure" can mean organization, especially when talking about how the parts of a poem, book, or film are tied together: "I really like the ideas in your essay, but they need better structure." |
