    Foreigners are general nice. The way people treat foreigners tends to depend on the person, and being from the SF Bay area, most people treat foreigners with respect. There are still those that can't accept that foreigners might do some things differently and discriminate against them for that, but they're the minority.

     

    Personally, I've gotten along well with all the foreigners I've met (I'm sort of a foreigner myself, so that might help), though I think it's best if they come hang out with the locals instead of hanging out in their group of foreigners. It's really whatever they want though.

    To "hit on someone" typically means that you are flirting with someone with the intent to enter into a romantic relationship with them. This can be applied to both short and long term relationships. To "pick up somebody" means to try and find someone to have a one-night stand with. To "hook up with somebody" means to have a one-night stand with.

    a book or a film about the future you read or watched

    this is a topic of the verbal portion of the ielts. verbal test. i prepare it as follows: Here is what I have so far: 

    The film called “Cyborg She” is a memorable film for me. I watched it last year.
    The film begins with an encounter between J and a strange girl who gives J the most unforgettable day in his life but leaves soon after.
    The story then jumps to one year later and when J meet that the mystery girl again. But this time she is different. She reveals her true identity by showing him a 3D projection of J’s own future appearance as a more aged person who spent all his time to create creating a cyborg who looks the same as that the mystery girl. and He let her travel through time to meet the present J, because he missed her so much. And The old J warns present J about an upcoming disaster in which the cyborg girl will die for saving in order to save J. and Eventually the events foretold it really happens. Distraughtly, J spends the next 70 years trying to rebuild her. He eventually succeeds, although he passes away soon afterwards.
    This film is more than anything a work of creative imagination. It is filled with enduring love and tear-sheddingjerking plot. They It touches the bottom of your heart. When I finished the film, I was moved by the set pieces that distill the story’s eternal love to its essence.

    can you give me a score from 0 to 9 ? thank you :)

    I'm not really qualified to give a score, but if were I forced to give one, I'd give a 7. Your writing is very clear and you summarized the plot very well. The only mistakes you made were small ones that even native speakers sometimes make. Good luck on your IELTS!

    These days, we're always busy, constantly having to deal with stuff. I got tired of it so last month I took a trip by myself. I went paragliding, walked through the jungle, and played with the local students. I felt a bird. Everything was beauitful in my eyes.

    My three-quarter-long coat?

    Today it’s is a lovely day. The sunshine is warm and comfortable. It’s winter now, so I still have to put on my down coat which is long reaches to my knees. I also have a three-quarter length-long autumn coat. Actually, I am not sure about the length of this coat which is long reaches down to my thigh,; is it a three-quarter coat? I showed the coat to one of my friends who is from England and he said it is a three-quarter coat. However I don’t think that the coat is three quarters of my body, so I am a little bit confused.
    Your corrections and answers are welcome, thanks

    There are some distinction between the phrases, but the distinctions tend to have to do with their usage in specific circumstances. They all mean more or less the same thing, but different ones are preferred in different situations. There is a distinction to be made is between "It is my pleasure"/"My pleasure" and "with pleasure". The first two are typically used in situation when you say "thank you" and the other person responds with "it is my pleasure" or "my pleasure". "With pleasure" tends to be used in response to a command. For example, if someone says, "Get the food out of the oven", "with pleasure" is a common response. The thing with "with pleasure" is it is often used in bad situations, such as when someone commands someone else to do a bad deed. Like the boss tells the evil underling to go hurt someone, and he responds, "with pleasure". That being said, the differences are minute and matter little to someone who is still learning English.

    My break up!

    Recently I just got went through a break up. I was totally very sad and sick for a whole week because of that it. Basically, I met him online because he is studying Chinese and we were both surprised when we knew realized that we live at the same city. therefore, we decided to meet in the real life. We fell in love gradually gradually fell in love and I treated him as my real like family. member but then Then I found out that he just didn`t care about me at all. I am studying in his country and he just knew nothing about how hard the overseas life is for me. My friend told me the reason I was sad was because my heart was totally hurt by him. I think my friend is right and he doesn`t deserve my love at all. Recently, I have come to find that love is such a weird one of the weirdest things in our life. Two people that were super close when they were together, however, once they broke up, could end up as the farthest people in the world when they break up. they could be the farthest people in this world. We would say hi and smile at strangers but we just don`t want to see avoid our ex boyfriends or and girlfriends at all. Life is such a so weird trip.

     

    Comment: Nice Job! I'm sorry you had to go through that.
