This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.

In a business setting, you never want to use a detached tone. This gives the impression to your colleague/boss/etc. that you don't care and don't really want to be there. It shows that you don't see them as important and don't care about what they have to say. It won't achieve anything for you.
Vocabulary specific to a subject is called technical vocabulary. For example: A Year 1 science unit on living things may require words that are not yet part of students' vocabulary – habitat, prey, offspring.
