Read together

Alex: Shall we talk about boilerplate and byline today?

Sam: Yes. I also want to use canon in a real sentence.

Alex: Listen — if we hear cliche, we write it down.

Sam: Good plan. What about copyright and deadline?

Alex: We can practice those after boilerplate.

Sam: I still mix up byline and canon. Can you help?

Alex: Sure. First say boilerplate, then byline, slowly.

Sam: boilerplate, byline… okay. Now canon.

Alex: Clear. Let's add cliche before we finish.

Sam: Done. Common Nouns in English: writing 2 practice feels useful now.

Alex: Tomorrow we review boilerplate, byline, canon, cliche again.

Sam: Agreed. Short talk, strong words.
