For Language Learners who want to improve their English for presentations, business or personal purposes: If you’re saying this too often: afterward try: ?????

What is your reason for wanting to improve your American English speaking? Is it for work? Travel? For a hobby? Have you ever had a tutoring lesson from a native English speaker from the United States? Have you ever had a native English speaker from the United States type out to you what they heard you say if your pronunciation was wrong/sentence structure was wrong then type your correction next to it?

This is a question for students learning English or any second language. What are some topics that you would like to learn more about, such as vocabulary, etc. But the topic may not be a "standard" language learning subject? As an example, "general conversation vocabulary" is a common language learning topic, vs. "things and people that you find in a temple" may not be so common.

In the face of extreme weather we can adapt in order to deal with these extreme conditions. For example this summer Ihave used a lot the climatisation.Somtimes it was very hot, temperature raised to 40°C outside. But in my little universe, the temperature was 18°C all the time. Because I set the climatisation at 18°C in my flat, in my car and in my office at work. During winter, the temperature can be very low outside, but I adapt myself to these harsh conditions. Thanks to the tons of coal I put in my furnace I stay warm. thanks god there is coal!!!!

Which sounds the most natural? 1. Please look at the top right of the screen. 2. Please look at the top right corner of the screen. 3. Please look at the upper right of the screen. 4. Please look at the upper right corner of the screen. When you're giving a presentation looking at a PC screen.

This is serious topic worths everyone thinking about. Whether we choose to make friends online or the internet ask us to do everything online? Even if we want to meet someone in person, what we should talk about? Maybe taking out our smart phones is the best choice which can also avoid being embarrassed. A smart phone seems like having magic which attracts us anytime and anywhere. This reminds me of the purpose of creating smart phones is to make our lives convenient. The most important effect is to help human save time. Thus, we stay home to do most things with a smart phone or a laptop. But human are social animals. We like to share our thoughts with others. Though we can do it online, we are shy to say anything in person. Some people are soliders online , but cowards in reality. They attacks others without scrupling online, but are afraid of looking at others' eyes when go out. The only thing I am sure is that I don't know what the future world will be as the technology develops rapidly.

II love the old-fashioned, retro-futuristic ideas of the "American Dream" and how they imagined our future. It's just charming to see how people back then pictured our lives. So, I'd like to try something similar using my completely sick imagination. The first thing that comes to mind is humanoid robots replacing teachers because there will be no place for human labor in our bright carefree future. I won't go into details except for one: these robots must have the voice of a typical Karen, just like that one teacher everyone had in middle or high school. Another idea is incredibly tall, high-tech school buildings made entirely of glass. I'm picturing a building so massive it's kind of creepy, but with an overall Frutiger Aero aesthetic. Okay, i've dragged this on a bit, but one last thing: flying cars. In "Back to the Future 2" they predicted we'd have them by 2015. But hey, it's 2025, and the closest thing we have is a few shitty concept cars that only exist as prototypes. And don't even get me started on hoverboards! Looks like we're not getting them at all, and that is just freaking outrageous?

Hi Last Friday I posted an explanation and example of "Flow Writing." People who are serious about improving their writing try to write every day for twenty minutes or so. Sometimes, they write a journal or diary entry and describe something interesting in their life in the past day. Sometimes, they add another twenty minutes to a longer story or essay their working on. Flow Writing is used when a person wants to spend time writing but doesn't know what to write about. This is not the time to walk away. If they do that, they finish the day not having written anything. So, to get started with flow writing, open a new computer doc or go old school with a pen and paper. I start with, "Today, I am going to write for (I paused) twenty minutes. (I paused) I have no idea what to write about. (I'm going to pause until I hear something and use that sound as what I write about.) I can hear a motorcycle coming nearer to my house. I wonder if it's a courier with a message or food delivery. (I focused on the message idea and imagined and wrote about who it might have come from and what it might have said. I got my twenty minutes of writing done. The flow technique helped me. If I had walked away with, I don't know what to write about, my paper would still be blank. If you need help with essay or creative fiction writing, message me your question or book a trial class so you can see how I teach creative writing. Cheers

HEAR vs LISTEN HEAR = notice sound without trying (passive) I can hear music from the next room. Did you hear that noise? LISTEN = pay attention to sound on purpose (active) Please listen to the teacher. He is listening to the radio. Tip: Hear = your ears receive sound. Listen = you focus on the sound.

You are doing a great job. Why is the present continuous tense used in this sentence?
