This Saturday I'll try to take the TOEIC test,so today I'd like to study the reading selection.
In this practicing , the word "shipping" was interested for me, because the word came from "ship".I wasn't familiar with this explain. May be there are many words that came from words which is came from noun or meaning like shipping, I'd like to find them more.
