Types of stories could be posted about me So you wanna know if I'll always be a teacher? I'd have to say, I don't know. I'm a teacher now, I will be tomorrow. But, I can tell you that if I'm ever lucky enough to get married, to have some kids, to maybe not need the money... I think I'd walk out of here and never look back.

… And it’s goodbye from Ele' for today. What are your plans for the weekend? I plan on working all day Saturday (I will be spending this day trying to make as much money as possible in preparation for a trip I'm taking on the first of January) and then on Sunday I am going to take that day for myself and just relax and do whatever I feel like doing.

bring more thankfulness, appreciation, and gratefulness to your life i've been working as a translator for a coupla years now. still new in this field and need some expert interpreter tips and tricks from time to time. it's great that we have the net, can go to a forum and find out how other people have solved tricky translation problems, or just ask people there for help. there is one forum that i like most. if i have a really challenging text, i know there are real professionals who are ready to help. they can be rude in a way, but they are smart in deed :) and i appreciate their help. any kind of help. BUT what i've noticed here. people seem never heard of dictionaries and google are full of questions. and a funny thing is most of the time they don’t even say “thank you.” is gratitude not your cup of tea or what?

the difference between 'think of' and 'think about' prepositions are a very tricky area! this is also what's known as a collocation issue...which means we need to look at which words work best in partnership with 'think of ' and 'think about.'. basically, 'think of' usually means 'imagine' whereas 'think about' tends to mean something closer to 'consider', so the differences would arise in certain contexts. for ex, if i say i'm thinking of a tropical beach, please don't interrupt me! i mean i'm imagining it or daydreaming about it. however, a sentence like 'they're thinking about whether to agree to the sale,' means they're considering the sale. in these cases, it's just natural usage patterns that tend to favour one form over another but when we are talking about people, we often tend to use them both in a similar way: for ex, if my friend had an accident and went to hospital, i might send a card and some flowers with a message which could either read: 'i'm thinking of you,' or 'i'm thinking about you', and the meaning wouldn't be significantly different.

When did you last have a whale of a time? I had a whale of time learning pastry

what is "..." in english? i've come across a number of questuions that go like "what's the difference between this word and that one?" they are different words, dude! they have different spelling, meaning, etc. if you can use the same word in a variety of different situations in your mother tongue, it's not gonna be the same in the target language. there are almost no full synonyms. so, the point is - provide context. give an example of phrase you wish to say. an answer to a question without context is not only useless, but kind of dangerous.
