Today you’ll learn 10-Must Know Oxymorons to avoid confusion in conversation and the canvas for introducing these words will be a story about my Christmas Memories.


An oxymoron is a literary device that has two contradicting terms, such as "pretty ugly," or "awfully good."


This lesson will have two parts: First you will hear the story which contains all of the oxymorons in context. As a challenge, I want you to listen closely and find 10 of the 15 oxymorons mentioned.


At the end, I'll tell you all of the oxymorons and provide further explanation on how to use them!
