and with a sub-committee of the College Corporation
What's the meaning of the with part in the sentence below?
In addition to representing students internally in the College on the Academic Board and with a sub-committee of the College Corporation, the CCSU (Canterbury College Students' Union) also belongs to the National Union of students which represents the interests of students nationally.
Could you please tell me the meaning of this part, "with a sub-committee of the College Corporation,"?
How is it in relation to the part coming before it?
I find it difficult to understand the "with" part.
Does that part make any sense?

Definition of dietitian

What role does it play in the explanation?
I guess it works well without the "it".
What's your idea?

Why in?
Why "in" is used here?
Does "in" themselves mean "through themselves" or "about themselves" or neither?
"The objects the archeologists discover, on the other hand, tells us nothing directly in themselves."

if, then,
Hi, take a look at this sentence:
"If, then, archeology deals with the past, in what way does it differ from history?"
Does it mean, if archeology deals with the past, then in what way does it differ from history?
Do you use if and then this way, putting one immediately after the other?

Did did did
Does" what did you think of ...? sound more polite than "what do you think of ...?"?
"What did you think of ... " can also be used interchangeably with the other one, right?
What did you think of number four? (A series of experiments)
What do you think of number four?
Any difference between the two besides in tense?

Turn someone off something
Do you use this structure a lot?
...We won't get a very good mark if the children don't actually enjoy the experiments, and I suppose we could turn them off science for good
....
(Two students who are studying to be teachers are discussing an experiment.)
"Turn someone off" is a normal phrasal verb, but for " turn someone off something", this is the first time I've seen it.
Does it mean "to get someone disinterested in something"?

Too too too
A speaks to B:
It's bad enough that you lied to me, without lying to Mother too. (An example sentence from a dictionary)
So we can see B lies to A, but does B lie to Mother?
---_---
Just got another sentence from dictionary.
It's bad enough that you were late, without lying about the reason.
I just found that it is the "without" part that puzzles me.

They they they
Hi, take a look at this short extract.
...
A: You need quite a lot of equipment actually -- a hand drill, an old record, a pin or needle, some paper and a bolt.
B: Hmm, go on. What do they have to do?
A: Well, they basically make a record player. The main idea is to teach them about recording sound.
.... ( They are talking about an experiment for children.)
Now, here is the problem.
"
B: Hmm, go on. What do they have to do?
A: Well, they basically make a record.
"
What does "they" mean? (Students or the equipment mentioned?)
Do the two "they" refer to the same things or people?

The increasing numbers of people
Hi, take a look at this sentence:
...We also pride ourselves on our friendly service, particularly important for the increasing numbers of people who choose to holiday alone.
My instinct tells me, "the increasing numbers of people" should be 'the increasing number of people'.
The plural "numbers" just doesn't sound quite right.
What's your idea?
