- As you can see from the responses, it depends on the person and perhaps who that person hangs out with. I seldom use "seldom" but Ive used it four times just this week😊. Nor is it one of those words that people will be confused or look at you funny if you say or write it; very few people would bump on it if they heard it in conversation.0 votedFebruary 12, 20230
- Agree with Thomas in general with a caveat: as an English speaker (American), we say "open the door" but Ive never heard anyone say "open up the door." "open up" usually means conceptually something that could be taken apart: a box, a room, or even a person. A door just opens. But do other English speakers use it in this way?0 votedFebruary 12, 20231
- Without surrounding context, "for one weekend in August" only indicates the Leeds festival occurs in August, for a to be determined weekend. It could be the first weekend, it could be the third, but the phrase itself does not indicate any particular weekend. But it is definitely a weekend, not an entire week. In terms of describing the festival, particularly for marketing or press, the phrase could d be intended to indicate to the reader how special this time is - something not to be missed.0 votedFebruary 12, 20231
- Hi Ivan - There's not a real difference between the two in meaning, but "I have to get the book..." is more something you would say conversationally; I wouldn't use it in written form unless you were writing informally. But I still wouldn't use it even in an informal context with a business colleague. Aside from that, "I have to finish the book" is a certainty; something you must do. With "I have to get the book...", the future of actually completing the task is something of an uncertainty. You *might* finished the book, but it could be today or ten years from now - something like that. Its more of an abstract idea. Hope that helps!0 votedFebruary 12, 20231
DESCRIPTION
I have a friend call Pablo.
My friend Pablo has a short, straight and brown hair and always he put gomina in his hair!! Que es gomina?
He has two big brown eyes very expressive with big eyebrows in the top of his eyes.Either: "he has two very expressive brown eyes" or "he has two - very expressive - brown eyes"
He has a small mouth with white teeth and pink tongue between a short, brown beard and a moustache.
He is taller than me and I'm overweight than he because he is very thin. No entiendo lo que quieres decir
He is a happy or happier person because he tries to make other people laugh with him and he DOES IT!! When I see Pablo I'm laughing all day.
Also Pablo is a nice person and knows about a lot of things like culture, music, cinema...
And today he has a white shirt with blue jeans. I love his style!
Another day I will talk more about Pablo.Pablo sounds like a great guy!

I created/wrote two articles in English for different conferences. The first article was about the pros and cons of outsourcing manufacturing to China; the second one was about cross-cultural aspects of business negotiations. And, of course,* for both articles I prepared presentations and made a speech.***If this is written, I would leave out "and, of course". If youre speaking to someone, the phrase might be natural sounding.
**suggest: I prepared a speech with accompanying presentations.
Just realized, in the last sentence do you mean you prepared materials for both conferences? Or for both articles you also prepared presentations? If its the latter, a speech might be implied in "presentation."

Today I was thinking about how advertisement has a great impact on people's lives. I remember being a kid and watching cartoons on TV and, suddenly, adverts about happy children playing with toys would appear.* It gave me the idea that if I could only **have those toys, I would be as happy as those children. So, I would cry and beg my mother, my father and my grandmother until I had the toy or forgot about it, whichever came first. Thinking about that, I can see how we rely on things to be happy and how adverts and consuming make us unhappy. Today I'm an adult and I can accept when I don't have money to buy things without crying, but I still feel inferior about not being able to buy those beautiful clothes, that new cell phone or to travel every year, like I see many people doing on social media and, wow, they look so happy. Those things destroy us because we are used to relating happiness with buying and we think are only going to be happy when we buy a new car and travel to the Maldives. We are never happy with the things we already have and we never will, because we're always watching people happier than we are having better things than we do. That's a cycle.*there needs to be something that answers "adverts about happy children...what?
*** original placement was grammatically incorrect but is so rarely used it might cause confusion.
Personal comment:
Your assessment of the cycle of consumerism is real but let me throw this out there: once you know the power of an advert, then its completely on you whether you break the cycle or no. What do you think?
