like clockwise - exists? Hi! At BBC learning English I run into a phrase "to do sth like clockwise" = regularly. I go to the gym like clockwise. However, I didn't manage to find it anywhere in the dictionaries. Does it really exist? Thanks!

Doctors vs patients Firstly, both texts mention that the difficulty in communication between doctors and patients really exists. Being extremelly busy with the loads of work doctors tend to think of patients as of the intrusion into hospital efficiency. However, patients feel that doctors ignore them and their opinion. Moreover, doctors feel that patients expect them to give an impression of control which can often be illusory.

Organising time To tell the truth, I'm not very good at organising my time. I don't have an each day plan scheduled hour by hour and I don't have my goals written neither short- nor long-term. I know that's bad and that's decreases my efficiency in life. However, somehow I manage to do everything I must and want. Maybe I don't handle everything with aplomb but more or less I'm good. Sometimes it's a close call and all about deadlines but I still finish on time. I suppose that the only time-management scheme that works is a Tomato one, when you set your timer for 30 minutes and work on a project without any pauses. Then you have break and then again 30 minutes of work. Hope one day I will stop procrastinating and loosing time. It is the only really valuable resourse that can't be renewed.

Could you please explain the difference between "legendary" and "fabled" ? In a multiple choice I have a sentence: Wilfred Thesinger, the LEGENDARY explorer once said, ‘We live our lives second-hand’. Why not fabled? Thanks!The problem is that it's a multiple choice test for Cambridge Proficiency exam and there is only one right answer, even though the words are synonymous.

Slumping in front of TV When we come home at dusk we slump in front of TV. We zap channels in order to find something interesting. However, there is mostly mayhem and gore, soap operas and shows about the jet set. You know, all these aspirational lifestyle shows with glitteraties and hollywood stars. In half an hour our eyelids start to droop. While we do the same each day, the mattress of our sofa starts to sag in the middle. We just live our lives second-hand, as it was said by a legendary explorer who hardly ever spent 20 minutes in a row in front of the telly.

Fabled vs legendary - difference?

Lurking shadow Valerie rummaged in her pockets trying to find something. "Efiing keys" she hissed. "Where could I put them?" Finally she managed to get them and enter the house. She exhaled. However, she didn't notice a dark shade lurking in the yard.
