MY VOCAB PRACTICE:

1. The email leaks contradicted the politician's claim that he did had not been advised of the problem.

2. President Trump tweets mainly to cause controversy and distract from his other policies.

3. Contrary to old wives tales, cows do not lie down when it is going to rain.

4. He tried to counteract the north wind by planting a tall hedge to act as a wind break.

5. It was counterproductive to tell the children not to play computer games as it made the games even more desirable.
