Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.
A popular activity from the past appears to be capturing the public’s interest once again.
Style
The Associated Press reports that roller skating is back in style. Groups of skaters are being organized in parks and other public places around large cities worldwide.
Here, style is a noun that means the state of being popular. Style can also refer to a singular way something is done or performed. For example, the VOA Learning English style includes short sentences and slow speech.
