Story

Improve your vocabulary by discovering the word "quota" through an engaging story - available in both text and audio formats.
Bernie was a curious cat who loved to explore. One day he stumbled upon a group of birds chirping away. They were perched on a branch, singing a beautiful melody. Bernie was captivated by their music and sat down to listen. Suddenly, a stern voice interrupted his reverie. "You have reached your quota of listening time, cat. Move along!" Bernie was taken aback. "Quota? What's that?" he thought to himself. The birds explained that a quota was a limit on how much of something you could do or have. Bernie was fascinated by this new word and decided to use it in his daily vocabulary. The next day, he was lounging in the sun when his owner asked him to come inside. "Sorry, I've already met my quota of indoor time today," he replied with a smirk. His owner was confused but Bernie was proud of himself for using his new word correctly. From that day on, Bernie made it a goal to learn one new word every day and use it in his daily life.
