Cross Words

  When I sit on the bus home everyday, I see people holding 24H newspapers and doing the crossword.
  The first time I have done the crossword was when my cousins friend was doing it and asked me to help her. She was really good at it.
  So today after school, when I saw all the 24H stacked together by the front door, I decided to get one and do the cross word.
  I don't know what to expect, but it was harder than I thought. I wasn't able to finish it at all, not even close. That was when I realize how interesting and fun the crossword was!!! I also realized how much vocabulary and a bunch of other information about movie, story, and music.
  I have decided to do the daily crossword everyday. I think it will help me improve my vocabulary, and also help me think and have fun at the same time.
  So now, I leave it at this. Because right now I need to get back to my help finished crossword.
  Does anyone know the word for "__though:albeit"?
