Paragraph:
     The word lexicon brings many different things to my mind. One of the things that I think of when I hear the word lexicon is a dictionary. Dictionary's have abundant amounts of words in them. When the articles used the word lexicon, they were talking about how different people use different things. In my sentence, I said "After all, our children have language problems and cannot be expected to acquire a huge lexicon," this means that we cannot expect children to grasp a huge language/word dictionary if they already have language problems.
