Profile
Hello all, I'm an English teacher from Australia. I currently reside in Malaysia, and have recently retired from Managing a successful business in Australia. I have taught secondary school students for a number of years, and am a registered Home Schooling Instructor. I also have completed a TEFL course, so I have all the skills necessary to teach students who want to learn English. I also have a Diploma in Business Management so can also teach Business English. I hope we can work together sometime! I look forward to meeting you. :)

    1. Yes, you are right, households here suggests family units, and the word dozens here, refers to groups of 12 as 12 is literally one dozen. 2. Push here, means, " mover" or thing that moves something. 3. You are right again, it means that any sort of worsening conditions, Not a certain condition.

    For the first question, Number 2 sounds best, it gives the idea that you enjoyed the meeting you just had. For question 2, the first answer is nearly correct, it should read, "I called out TO my friend walking across the street" Hope that helps you :)

    All english words ending in the group " ine" can usually be pronounced as like the word "iron" Or even the word "eye" with the "n" sound on the end. It's rarely pronounced any other way, except on a few occasions when it appears in words such as magazine. The general rule is that it will be pronounced with the long I sound as in eye. If a double "n" appears in the word, than the "i" sound will be short, as in the word "tin" Also you will notice that if there is no "e" on the end the "i" is pronounced short as in "tin"

    Being an Australian, I can only help you with the first two. A doughnut is sweet, whilst a bagel,is savoury. Crab claws contain the most meat, and due to the scarcity of meet in the main shell of the crab, most westerners don't bother with it, they can choose just the fat claws by themselves. The last one, wouldn't have a clue, you'd need to ask an American that one :)

    Your are right, there is no specific word describing what you want, so words like school friends, or friends I grew up with would also be appropriate.

    Yes you are correct in both your conclusions. The line more spills were registered than starts, means more people were recorded to have fallen off their horses, than those who finished, if you managed to finish, you were given a "start".

    Yes, that's exactly what it means, all the riders in the race fell off their horses, hence nobody won.

    To bring up to speed, means to catch up (know what everyone else knows) with everyone else on a certain matter.
