- Hi there, Rob IELTS here. "I believe that..." is simply stating the persons belief. "I happen to believe that..." sounds like the speaker thinks they are making some sort of moral stand, perhaps in (contrasting) response to another speaker having said something they disagree with. It kind of adds a bit of emphasis to their belief. e.g. A: Would you like a cigarette? B: I happen to believe that smoking is a disgusting habit (speaker B doesn't approve of speaker A's offer) Hope this helps!0 oyladı20 Temmuz 20211
- "It appears to be an attempt to reach a stage where enough of the population has already had the virus, that they protect everyone else from catching it too (although they're not saying that explicitly). It doesn't seem that this will happen soon, as at the moment people are saying things are probably going to get worse"0 oyladı19 Temmuz 20211
- 'Murder' is the first word because it grabs the attention...especially if it were the first word of a novel. So in other words, it's for dramatical effect, and the title of the series helps clarify the subject matter. As others have mentioned, the series was about the author of a series of novels.0 oyladı19 Temmuz 20210
- This is a common epilepsy warning shown before the start of some TV shows, movies, videogames etc. where the content may pose a health risk to certain viewers i.e. those who suffer from epilepsy. 'Flashing' means a bright light which changes from 'off' to 'on' rapidly, like the lights sometimes seen in a disco.0 oyladı19 Temmuz 20210
- I've been checking out the US billboard 100 these past couple of weeks to help out a friend with a business project, and was quite pleasantly surprised at the amount of Spanish language I found, as the UK charts are almost entirely in English. Similarly, I found the charts in Spain to be completely different from what people were listening to back "home". Let's say there was a lot more Reggaeton in Spain and leave it at that haha.0 oyladı19 Temmuz 20210
- Hey Kamil, how's it going? Hope you're well. A 'drive' is like a big push to try and achieve something e.g. a hospital might hold a 'blood drive' to try and get people to donate blood, or a homeless charity might hold a 'food drive' to ask the public for donations. 'Mounted' in this context means 'began' or 'launched', so put them together and it basically says "Ryanair, which has started to make a big effort to recognise unions..." Hope this helps!0 oyladı19 Temmuz 20211
- Hey there Juan, Rob IELTS here. To me, it sounds like you may have a problem with English pronunciation. Do you by any chance still have a strong Spanish accent when you speak? If you are confident that you already have a good working knowledge of English grammar and vocabulary (it sounds as though you are), than it could be that the sounds you are carrying across from your native language could be getting in the way of you recognizing the words when you hear them. The rhythm, intonation, sentence stress and many other individual sounds in English are very different from how a Spanish speaker may be used to hearing them pronounced by other Spanish speakers. Pronunciation isn't given much empasis on most English courses and it's not often explained how it can affect listening skills. Students who have trouble with English pronunciation usually find they have trouble with comprehension too. If this sounds like you, I'd say work on pronunciation specifically.0 oyladı19 Temmuz 20211

</ul>Well done <a ui-sref="user({id:comment.commenter_obj.id})" href="https://www.italki.com/user/1883521" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">周树人</a>, you appear to have understood the correct usage. I've added a couple of suggested corrections."It is pretty hard to choose your way, on one hand i want a high return work,but on the other hand i am long for something really fun."
- It is pretty hard to choose a career path; on the one hand I want a job that pays well, but on the other hand I long for something really fun."

Hi everyone!
I've just shared a new video to my Youtube channel focusing on these two (often misused and confused) connectors. You can find the video at this address: <https://youtu.be/cSZmb2Y4ETQ>; , or go straight to my channel by searching for My English Teacher Rob.
When you've finished watching the video explanation (be sure to watch right to the end), come right back here to iTalki and write a practice sentence using the connectors in the discussion below. I'll correct as many as I can. Other teachers are more than welcome to get in on this too!
Let's get practising
28 Mart 201920 My favorite English grammar book.
To every English learner,I would like to recommend a book which called English Grammar in Use which was written by Raymond Murphy.
In my opinion this book is the best book for anyone who wants to improve their knowledge (of English Grammar). The book is very easy to use - on the left side is grammar and on the right side are exercises.
I have discovered that book about 5 years ago, and since that time I have bought 3 copies of the same book in different editions.
However, during all that time I have been using the book in the wrong way... I have only been reading grammar and doing exercises. I haven’t been learning the grammar as I wanted to finish book as soon as possible.
A few weeks ago I saw a video on YouTube about the Murphy’s book. The video was made by an English teacher who explains how to use the book in the best way to achieve good results. His advice is obvious... He recommends making a copies of the exercises part and do not writing in the book. That way, a learner can come back to previous units whenever they like and repeat them.
Now I learn all the grammar in every unit, make copies and do exercises. It takes longer, but I hope it will work!
Well done Alina, it sounds like you are working hard to improve your English! Be sure to review the units on Articles, as I think you will find them very useful :) English Grammar in Use is an absolute classic and every English learner should have a copy. If you really want to learn the rules though, I would suggest you create your own sentences after completing a unit, relating the rules to your own life. Making a connection in this way helps us to use the correct structures later on without having to think about it. It takes the human brain a lot of effort to remember abstract concepts like grammar rules, but it takes considerably less effort for us to remember a sentence using the rule when it relates to our own life.
Good luck on your English journey!
