Homesick is a compound(复合)word made 　　1　　 of HOME and SICK．You know what each word means on its own, of course．But think about what the words mean when they are 　　2　　 together．Homesick means SICK FOR HOME．

　　Now think 　　3　　 a minute about SEASICK．　　4　　 you change the word home in the definition(释义)to the word sea, would the definition fit SEASICK?Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA?It means something quite 　　5　　．Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA．When you are homesick, the only place you want is to be at home．When you are seasick, the 　　6　　 place you want to be is at sea．

　　Have you ever heard of a person being 　　7　　?Heartsick doesn’t mean that something is wrong with a person’s heart．People are heartsick when they are 　　8　　 deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are broken．

　　But, on the other hand, we have such compound words 　　9　　 handshake and handbag．Perhaps you may write definitions for them．Knowing something like this must be 　　10　　 in your English study．
