- This sentence is missing the word "ahead." I have inserted it in brackets below: "Belgium were also unbeaten in qualifying, finishing nine points [ahead] of second place Croatia." The sentence means: Belgium is in first place, with a qualifying score 9 points better than Croatia's score. Croatia came in second place.0 votedOctober 17, 20133
- Are these Mandarin words interchangeable?

Today I climbed Mount Lu by myself because my friend said she was not feeling good. I had to ask other people to help me take photos. I had to let the manager know that I am a local, otherwise I would have had to pay. I had many "firsts" today, but the most noteworthy is that I hitchhiked. A gentleman picked me up from the side of the road. When I first started I was nervous and wanted to give up because no one was noticing me. But I kept saying to myself, "just hold on a few more minutes" and in the end I was successful. When you are very persistent, you might be surprised by what you can accomplish.
Good job! Sounds like quite an adventure! Just be careful if you are getting into cars with strangers.
0 votedOctober 2, 20131How can I express it?
As the composition that I wrote last two days ago stated, I quit my job last April. I came moved to Shenzhen to study two weeks ago, in order to have a better English learning environment. I am living in my friend's home, who with me was attended the same collage as me. However, she was an English major and I was majored in Japanese. The My friend is traveling in Thailand for a week. Last night I had a QQ conversation talked with a person I met on italki, who lives in Thailand people who from italki in QQ . I tried to explain to him that why I didn't go to Thailand with the my friend. Can I say it as written below:
I came to Shenzhen not so long ago (just two weeks). Before I had decided to live in her home she had already made the plans to travel to Thailand and had already booked a plane ticket, so I didn't go with her.You are very brave to make such a big change! I hope to do something similar to learn Chinese. Your grammar is overall pretty good, you just need a little more practice and your English will be great! 加油！
0 votedOctober 1, 20131that We just get used to holding back the words we wanna want to say.
We are strangers, but the way we talked was like two people that who had known each other for a long time. We try to make a good impression, talking in a friendly manner, and acting like a gentleman politely. We are good friends, but since when we have just started to not to speak to say less and less to each other any more. We don't need to say thanks, and don't need to say sorry. Is it that good?
0 votedSeptember 29, 20130Exercise: Pros and Cons of Young Adults' Volunteering
QUESTION:
Young adults should undertake unpaid work to help people in the community. Do you think it brings more drawbacks to the community and the young adults than benefits.
ANSWER:
In many communities, some young adults volunteer to help their neighbours without paying compensation. I believe this is very beneficial to their communities, and do not think there can be this can be of any harm to the communities. As for the young people themselves, I am not sure if every one of them gets more benefit than drawbacks from their contribution the benefits outweight the costs of their contributions.
Communities in general face a lot of problems every day, and they which need a considerable amount of efforts effort to handle. These range from clearing the litter, taking care of the young, the old the elderly, or even pets when their owners are on a holiday, to patroling for better security. If a community needs to hire professionals to do all these this work, it can be very costly, and few residents would pay for them. But if young volunteers can do them, a remarkable great deal of money can be saved.
Some people argue that by doing community work, young people do not only help their communities, but also help themselves. This is because young adults usually do not have enough experience to be competent professionals or workers for their future employers. Doing volunteering jobs helps them to get more practical experience.
However, there are some reasons against this view point point of view. Though they are encouraged to do so for the sake of their communities, it is not always the best choice for every young adult. One of the most important reasons is that volunteering is no substitute for real working experience in a company, where they can practice their specialised knowledge and skills. Moreover, community work needs takes a lot of time. If they young adults can spend the time on their studies, it might be more rewarding to for most many of them.
In conclusion, I believe that young volunteers do a lot of good to for their communities. But whether it is beneficial to the volunteers themselves is yet to be discussed ascertained/seen.Very, very good! The changes I made were mostly so things sounded more natural. There were some grammar errors as well, but for the most part your essay was very easy to understand and showed a high level of competency. 太好了！
