134th day 2019 (The wasps) Hi, today I would like to share a little problem with you. Lately, some wasps stated visiting my room through the window. It happened before but the wasps never built their houses in my flat. If I permit them making their houses, after some time there will be much more wasps. I bought a special gas to kill them and avoid the appearance of new ones.

134th day 2019 (The wasps)

Hi, today I would like to share a little problem with you. Lately, some wasps started (1) visiting coming into my room through the window. It happened before, but the wasps never built their (2) houses nest in my flat. If I (3) permit let them making make their houses nests, after some time there will be (4)  much many more wasps after some time. I bought a special gas to kill them and (5) avoid prevent the appearance of new ones.


(1) Visiting implies a friendly act and conscious decision. The wasps are just coming in

(2) Wasps, hornets, and birds live in nests. Bees live in hives.

(3) Permit sounds too formal and is usually used in business, legal, or government context. "Let" sounds more natural

(4) "Many" is used if it can be counted as separate things  (1 wasp, 2 wasps, etc.). "Much" is used if it cannot be counted (too much rain, so much noise)

(5)

Avoid=the wasps are in a specific place and you avoid that place (The wasps are in a tree and you avoid that tree. You stay away from it.)

Prevent=stop something from happening (more wasps appearing)
