🛟 Horizon: One-Breath Definitions
The B2 paraphrase survival skill. Coach Deniz runs a Taboo tournament with one new rule: every definition must open with a category and carry a relative clause.

- In defining relative clauses the object pronoun can be dropped for speed: the stuff (that) you spread on toast
- Softeners keep a rescue moving: it’s a kind of…, it’s roughly like…, I forget the word, but it’s the thing which…
