what's mean? Hi, when I read a article about Harry Potter, I can't understand this phrase. Could you please help me to explain? Given that for most of Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore knew that he was dying, why didn’t he just tell Harry that he was a horcrux or that Snape was in love with Lily? what's the ‘Given that for most of Half-Blood Prince’ mean?

Practice for TOEFL Exam 1 hi, everybody, i am practicing for my TOEFL exam and I need your help, I will be very appreciated for your correction and your advice about how to improve my writing by using more advanced words etc, thanks in advance :) Title: It is better to work for business owned by someone else than to work for the business of one’s own family. Most of us always hold this kind of view: those people whose family own its business are very lucky. That means they have a short pass to the success, they don't need to work so hard as ordinary people or maybe they already possess a load of fortune before their birth, They reckon family business as a huge advantage o even privilige. However, I don't agree with this point of view. In my opinion, working for business owned by someone is better, because it means you have the freedom to choice the area in which you want to dedicate yourself. I admit that working for family business is easier and less stressful, but the most miserable thing is you have to do something you don't want to. There are two reasons that support my opinion: First, the job you really passionate about will motivate you to achieve higher goal. When you do your dream work, you will feel motivated, your ambition will be invoked and you will explore new skill voluntarily. You may get your promotion in 1 year and led your team to make a new record. Secondly, every day will be meaningful when you do your dream work. You will invest more time and energy without noticing, you will in high mood every moment while you are working and you will try your best to overcome all the difficulties you confrante. There are a lot of benefit beside the tow points I mentioned above. So when you are facing the similar choice, be brave and follow your heart, make every day is meaningful and motivated for yourself.

Práctica en español y necesito ayuda 1 Hola todos, esto es una pequeña historia que inventé. Por favor corrige la gramática para mi, estaré muy agradecida. Muchísimas gracias. Recibí la noticia hoy, al llegar a mi oficina. En el camino había recibio la notificación pero no tuve valentía abrirla. Cuando llegué a la oficina, sentada en la silla, me animé a clic el link. No pasé el examen. Fue la primera vez que no logré algo. Soy un poco alogante o muy confiente sobre mi estudio. Desde pequeña yo siempre era primera en la clase. Les gustaba a los profesores, les gustaba a mis padres y a mis valientes y nunca les decepcioné, no tengo ni idea de cómo decirlos a noticia, que tengo que preparar los examenes nuevamente y estudiar un año más.

write 1 I don’t know how to express my feeling right now, few days ago I hesitated about my future. I don’t want to stay in my current company, doing my current job. I graduated from a high level university but my major is Spanish, and I didn’t continue my study because I don't want to be a teacher. But now I am think about continuing my study abroad, maybe in Japan. I am still not sure about the decision. Every time I mentioned this with my mom, she became critics and blamed my for my capricious thoughts. She acclaimed that she would not give me any money to support my study. Honestly I have bogged in this dilemma for almost a month, but I will figure it out and make a right decision, with which I will not regret.
