Benefactor

Bene means good.

Fact means to make.


Therefore, benefactor means to make good. And that is very closely what it means. It means someone who helps others.

Benediction

Bene means good.

Edict means declaration.

So, benediction means a declaration of something good. And that is very much what it means.

It means an expression of good intent. :D

Euphemism. Eu-good, pheme-speech

Used to describe poetry a lot.

It basically means stating something in a less offensive or hurtful way.

Basically it means a substitution for an offensive with an inoffensive one.

Like, "Sorry your dad died", instead you say "Sorry to hear your dad passed away"

More help for SAT vocab - check out http://www.princetonreview.com/vocab-minute.aspx

It's a directory of 1 minute songs that each introduces and explains the meaning of 6 - 8 words. You can listen to it online but I personally find it more convenient to download the podcasts off itunes and listen to them on my mp3 player.

And, in some cases, the singers aren't very clear so you should check out the lyrics of the songs if you're not sure about particular words. A google search should get you what you need

It is easy to be thankful for the good things, but a life of rich fulfilment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.

Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings :)
