This term describes something dense, concentrated or impenetrable: thick 1
Hint: In this broadcast it is used to describe Moira's Scottish accent.

Bonus question! - this is the opposite of the word you have just put in the blank above. It was not used in the broadcast.

Hint: This word is synonymous with 'fine' or 'slim'.
1 thick: This is correct. The word 'thick' means 'dense' and 'impenetrable' and in general is used to refer to something of high density or something solid (a thick piece of bread, a thick table). In this broadcast, Moira tells Brent that her new French boyfriend 'doesn't understand (her) thick Scottish accent'. The term 'thick' in this context is used figuratively to mean 'strong' or 'distinctive'.
2 thin: This is correct. The term 'thin' refers to something delicate and of very little density and is often used to describe small, slender people. It is often used to describe someone who is very slender, slim or light, as opposed to large or heavy person. Note that 'thin' CAN'T be used to describe an accent. To express that someone doesn't have a very strong accent we could say that their accent is 'mild' or 'light'.

Printing vocabulary!

Fill in the blanks below with the appropriate terms from the article!

This is the first sheet of a newspaper, which you see before opening it:
The Sunday Roast newspaper always chooses a shocking story to print on the front page 1. (two words)

Now find the term used to describe thick, strong text such as this:
This sentence is written in bold 2 text!

If "b" and "h" are lowercase letters, then "B" and "H" are: capital 3 letters.

This term was not used in the text, but it describes the big titles given to news articles. "I don't have time to read the paper, so I just look at the headlines 4 to get an impression of what's happening."
1 front page: "Front page" is the right answer. The "front page" of a newspaper is where the most important (or most shocking) stories appear, in order to attract readers' attention. Here's another example: "When Freddie ate my hamster, he appeared on the front page of all the tabloid papers".
2 bold: "Bold" is the term we were looking for. Bold text looks like this. It is used to highlight or draw attention to important information. Example: "If you want people to read this important information, you should put it in bold!".
3 capital: "Capital letters" look like this: A, J, S, A, G, D. In English, proper nouns such as "London", "Smith", and "French" all begin with capital letters. Note that we can also say "uppercase letters".
4 headlines: "Headlines" is the term we were looking for. The "headlines" are the titles of articles, which appear in bold text at the top of each story. Examples: "President Brush Resigns!", "1000s Die in Cyclone!".
