Presentation

My name is Angela and my objective for this year is to learn English.
This is a good method to learn and help other people in the same situation as me.

I studied psychology and I worked giving training sessions for senior in a lot of villages. I like it!
This training was about loneliness, self esteem, stress, anxiety... different areas because the objective was the wellness of these people. This moment was very important for my professional and personal development. It was a good experience.
Currently, I´m working to access a new job in a company of human resources.

Thank you for your attention and your corrections.

Your writing is pretty good! Just a letter missing here and there, but it looks great for the most part - Keep it up!

This is a tough question. I would say it does not sound very natural. 1. Using a phrase like "Very often" or Quite often" at the beginning of the sentence sounds strange, unless perhaps it is written in a book or something, but "Quite often" sound better in that scenario ("Quite often he'd find himself in peculiar situations."). 2. It doesn't sound weird enough to say it is completely wrong, but I would use "Usually" or "Generally" or just "Often" or even "Oftentimes," which is super old-school. 3. I would, however, prefer to change the sentence around and say, "I often can't fall asleep when he falls asleep." Note: I would say it doesn't sound natural to use "very often" in this sentence either. We don't use "very often" very often (unless we are saying it at the end of a phrase/sentence as in this sentence). This is almost the only construct of a sentence where I would use "very often." I don't go to the store often/very often. I don't go to the store that often. (more colloquial). Interesting topic. Hope this helps!

Lowest deals with direction (high and low), whereas Last deals with order (First and last) or the only particular one of something remaining. So the lowest shelf in the refrigerator (down at the bottom), contains the last banana. The last shelf on the left (furthest left in order from right to left) has the file I need. He came in last place in the race. Hope this helps!

Here are examples of your three usages of the verb "to face." To face: He needs to face his fears and just ask her out on a date. She should just face her boyfriend and tell her that she is sorry. You should face the front of the class when your teacher is teaching. Face up: You need to face up to the fact that you might never walk again after that accident. (British English? I would never use "face up" like this; I would just say, "You need to face the fact...") You should face up to your responsibilities. (Same thing here. I think you might use face up more in British English, but I would never use face up like this. "You should face your responsibilities.") He was lying down face up on the table. (Non-verbal) Lift your face up, so I can see your eyes. (Non-verbal) Face off: They waited anxiously for the faceoff of the ice hockey match to begin. (Beginning of an ice hockey match starts with a faceoff; non-verbal) The politicians were facing off in a battle that would last years. Two of the best teams in football are facing off against each other this weekend. In conclusion: Again, it is probably more so in British English, but you can say "face up to your fears/responsibilities/etc" whereas you would just say "face your fears/responsibilities/etc" in the US. Thus, "face up" generally means "to deal with something that you might be nervous/afraid to deal with." "Face off" deals with two opposing forces battling against each other. Politicians can face off in a battle of wits and manipulation. Armies can face off on the battlefield. Sports teams can face off against each other. Hope this helps! Best of luck!

Bill, I think Jenny is the original writer. Whether or not she is, I think people should be more careful with these types of comments, even if they are made in good humor! Just something to think about. :)

You probably have to give some context or be more specific. It sounds like a term used in psychology to me, but the word itself has no direct meaning for me. Can you use it in a sentence?

How many cartons of milk does your family drink per week? 1) They drink two cartons of milk per week. (If you don't really drink milk yourself, this would be acceptable to say) 2) We drink two cartons of milk per week. (If you also drink milk, then use this one.) How many slices of cheese does your friend put ON his bread? 1) He putS two slices of cheese ON his bread. 2) He putS ON his bread two slices of cheese. (Can't say it this way unless you're writing a Dr. Seuss book with inverted syntax). He puts on his bread two slices of cheese. A slice for you and a slice for me. By the way, when I'm talking about a friend who is a woman or man is IT correct to use girl friend / boy friend? Both words are separated? and who is in a relationchip is correct to use girlfriend / boy friend? Both words are together ? and the entonation of the voice is most strong in these cases: girlfriend / boyfriend or there are different clues for identifying these words I'm not sure if their is a difference, but I might put a space if they are just friends and not my significant other(s). This is how I would say these things if I were a girl: One of my girl friends and I went to the store. (If you say "my girl friend and I" in speech, people will have to decide for themselves if they think you are dating her, or if it is just a friend. Saying "One of my girl friends" makes it clear and is a common way to avoid the confusion, because plenty of women date women.) My guy friend and I went to the movies. One of my guy friends. You ONLY use boyfriend if you are dating the guy. No one says "I went to the movies with my boy friend" if they mean "a friend who is a boy." If you want them to know your friend is a male, use "guy friend" or "friend that is a boy." Hope this helps! Best of luck!

Vocabulary is the doorway to listening comprehension, as having seen a word before and trying to pronounce it in your head will let you better recognize it when it is spoken. Read the newspaper while using an online dictionary to look up words you don't know. Add common words and good words to learn to a flashcard application or write flashcards and study them every day for 30+min. By greatly improving your vocabulary, you'll greatly improve the chance of recognizing a word when it is used in speech. Then, the more you hear people speak, the more connections you'll make and the easier it will be to understand.
