    This document provides a summary of a lesson from the Touchstone 2nd Edition language learning series. The lesson focuses on using adverbial expressions like "a little/a bit," "kind of/sort of," and "just" to soften comments about others, such as saying someone is "a little bit strange." It also discusses using words like "probably," "maybe," and "I think/guess" to soften statements. Finally, it explains that "though" can be used to give a contrasting idea, such as thinking someone is OK but finding one of their behaviors a bit strange.
