Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.
A coastal town in Brazil is disappearing into the sea.
Inevitable
Some areas in the small town of Atafona are being taken over by sea water. Man-made growth and rising sea levels have threatened it for decades. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed.
Waked Peixoto says it is inevitable that his home will soon be taken by the sea.
If something is inevitable, it is sure to happen.
It cannot be avoided or prevented.
The inevitable result of watching News Words is improved English language skills.
