hhmm.....3rd post today.
i juz came back frm dinner.went on a short shopping trip with my mum. She bought a new chopping board frm some shop downstairs with a funny-sounding names u know how some product comes with 'advises' like u will see that some containers are not microwave safe. i was shocked by wad was written on the wrapper. it seems that opening with sharp object may damage the product and is made of [ natural synthetic wood ]. lol...then wad is the chopping board use for!? i saw two chopping boards that are the same except that one does not hav that ridiculous label and is of a good/better brand. one costs$1.90 and the another , $12.95.....
and i checked the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English. the meaning of
is <produced by combining different artificial materials, rather than being naturally produced>.so, different artificial substances are combined to form natural wood? or izit that synthetic wood is a natural material?
lets compare it with something i bought ytd.i bought a pair of slippers frm a shop at the marine parade shopping centre .......
i saw a nice pair of sports slipper. i quote ,'built with dual-density contoured molded midsole, the ultimate sports slipper that combines traction, support and designed for superior active fit to provide stable, comfort and supportive footwear for the devoted adventure seekers' .it is sold at $16.90 and yet another similiar-looking slipper frm another shop costing *$9.90. comparing the 2 slippers and the 2chopping boards.... it seems that everything is abt how u pack it...... and the brand....
so basically..... wad ppl care is wad is on the outsideLabels: board, brand, chopping, pack, package, slippers
