気まぐれジュリエット♪

Word of The Day (but one day later)

Review  ★  pernickety ★

 

At the night before going to a trip, whether domestic or international,

I tend to be pernickety about packing.

 

 

zealous

Some dictionary says that zealous means showing great energy

and enthusiasm.
I think I can understand that mean, but I don't have confidence

to use the adjective,zealous, in daily life correctly.
Because I don't find enough usage examples by now.

 

May I replace enthusiastic baseball fans "zealous baseball supporters" ?

 

Are these sentences,my English compositions, correct ?

 

・The natural food belivers are zealous to know how each food is produced.
・Mary is now zealous about planning her wedding reception next year.
・Now in Japan,there must be few who are zealous in specific political parties.
