Be honest... not a lot of us are not that literate or have a rich vocabulary, unlike your English teachers. But there is a way without reading a dictionary and a thesaurus. There is this unique game show, which has, for this version, Fiona Bruce, instead of being presented by Bob Holness of Blockbusters fame.
For those of you that do not live in England, Call My Bluff is a television show in England that goes out, seasonally, every weekday in England on BBC 1 at about midday. And, briefly, they are two teams; each one consists of one captain and two players. For each team, they have to guess out of the other team member who is always telling the correct meaning to a word introduced by the host.
I have always found this show a great format and always make the late-morning schedules very intellectual and extremely interesting! But, it does not have the charm of Holness, Fiona Bruce is still quite a good presenter, and the team captains always bring their bit of humour to the show, which still makes this amusing.
So, although it is still a shame to not see Bob Holness again, but is still a great way to boost your word power.
