Today I want to teach you three words.

The first word is “best”. Best means “better than all others in quality or value.”  “Best” rhymes with “rest” and “nest”.  Okay, now you say “best”! That sounded good, but was that your best effort? I think you can do better. Try again. Say “Best”.  Excellent! 

The second word is “accept”. Can you say “accept”?  Accept.  Don't get the word “accept” confused with “except”.  In the story accept is used in two ways.  It means “to receive or take something offered”.  They offered him the job, and he accepted it.  Accept also means, “to allow someone to be part of a group; to look with favor or approval upon someone.”
John accepted Tom as a Facebook friend. The opposite of accept is to reject.
