The mother of four children who has elected to the state senute.but she never mentioned this success.her behavior effact me, and I will take she as my model. When I read those paragraphs, I find some new words Impeded me. I get the meaning of the words “nonetheless” and “intimate” in Cambridge Dictionary. “Nonetheless” means despite what has just been said or done. It is clear and the word “intimate” has four means: 1.having, or being likely to cause, a very close friendship or personal or sexual relationship 2.a close friend 3.expert, detailed and obtained from a lot of studying or experience 4.to make clear what you think or want without stating it directly. I thank the fourth is the best meaning after my study.
