DRAWBACK: meaning and examples
Good morning everyone. I hope you had a great weekend.
This week we are going to look at some expressions with the word DRAW. I also recommend listening to these Vitamins on our website, because this word is often pronounced incorrectly. You should read the Daily Vitamins out loud to practice your pronunciation of this word and the expressions.
Today's word is: drawback
Meaning: A drawback is a disadvantage or a problem. It's often combined with the words MAJOR or MINOR to refer to the size of the drawback.
Example 1:
One major drawback to living in the country is that you are dependent on a car to get around.
Example 2:
Harold: What drawbacks do you see in developing this proposal?
Nadine: The cost, for one. Can we afford to invest in new product development at this time? Another drawback is the lack of specialized knowledge. We'd probably have to hire an external consultant.
