News Words: Crucial

Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.
Three men were rescued from a tiny island in the Pacific Ocean after their boat was severely damaged at sea.
CRUCIAL
The men were lost for days when a U.S. Navy aircraft spotted a message: The word ‘HELP’ written in palm fronds. The U.S. Coast Guard, which led the rescue effort, said the message was a “crucial factor in their discovery.”
Something that is crucial is extremely important, or even necessary, to reaching a goal. We believe VOA News Words is a crucial partner in improving your American English.
