Some Sentences with New Words
1) Do not drift off the topic, please! We'll never meet the deadline if you're so verbose. I wouldn't use the word verbose here. Verbose is more describing someone who talks using a lot of extra words and details, not necessarily someone that is going off topic. I would suggest instead using "distracted" or "unfocused" or another word with a similar meaning.
2) He's a really good professional. He's competent in everything he can suggest you to do. This phrasing is technically correct but doesn't sound like native English. Instead, you could say: "He's competent in everything he does and his suggestions are very helpful" or "He's competent and is great at giving directions" or "He's competent in everything he does and excels at managing" or something along those lines.
3) Everything seems to me all right to me except the weather which is still chilly. This sentence was technically correct but it sounds more natural to say "everything seems all right to me" rather than the other way around.
4) I guess that American English diverged from its origin - British English quite a while ago. It'd be interesting to listen to someone who can tell the story of their divorce.
5) I was heading out to the swimming pool when suddenly he got in touch with me.
6) I'm open to any contacts in language exchange that could bring me a better understanding of English grammar and pronunciation. You could also say: "I'm open to any language exchanges that..."
7) It was just a lame excuse that he came up with to not to go to the store with me.
