Hi, my family!
It is obvious that a lot of useful things from the tasks are worth being possessed.
However, just one sentence in the Usage of "Adverds used to qualify what you say" in the Unit, the first section of Part 3 - Vocabulary makes me a bit confused.
Have a look at it again:
5. She has been to practically every country in Asia.
The position of the adverd 'practically" here?
Its fuction? What it modifies?
Thanks a million for any kind explanation.
Ta Tuynh

Hello Ta Tuynh, yes "practically" is a bit confusing. The meaning is not connected with the word "practical" here. It means "nearly" or "almost". It modifies "every" in this sentence. He hasn't visited EVERY country in Asia, but nearly every country.
See you,
Pieter
