Idioms and Phrasal Verbs can be very helpful tools in understanding a conversation and impressing the examiner of an IELTS or TOEFL test. Some common ones are: drop off, pull up, in the red, the black market, out of the blue. Which ones have you learned? Can you share a situation when you found them to be helpful? The more I teach the more aware I am of these phrases in conversation:-) Hope you do as well, as I can certainly understand how one can get confused.
What is your experience?
If you could, and would want to, live in a different country, which country would that be? Why?
For anyone who has gone or will be going:
When you travel to English speaking countries, what questions would be most important to learn before going? What vocabulary do you think is necessary or most important to learn? How would you prepare yourself before going? Any tips or suggestions on what you have done in the past? Areas of consideration: sightseeing, transportation, currency exchange, restaurants, phone service, credit cards...
Hi,
I am curious. In America men and women do yoga. In fact, it is recommended to do yoga for athletes. However, I live in VN now, and the men WILL NOT do yoga. I have seen two men in yoga classes. A Vietnamese friend once told me that it is not "a guy thing," it's only for women. What is it like in your country and how do you feel about it?
