Word of the Day: Reap
In my stay-the-course post, I mentioned that people who work hard reap the rewards in the end.
It is quite common to see the word reap used in the phrase reap the rewards.
Reap has two meanings:
1) to harvest a crop. Example: Farmers reap their rice in the fall.
2) to collect a reward for something that you have done. Example: People who work hard and don’t give up will reap the rewards of their hard work.
If you stay the course and continue to study English even though it is hard and you feel like giving up, you will reap the rewards.
Eventually, you will be able to speak English smoothly and fluently.
Stay the course, and you will reap the rewards!
