    I majored in international trade and economics in at college and, after graduating, I worked for a shipping agency company for one year. During that time, I came got to know many of my colleagues well and made formed some great friendships. They taught me so much! Even if I has been leaving that company for 4 years Even though I left the company 4 years ago, I still keep in touch with them. Due to personal reason, I quited the job in 2012.

    Probable is 'what is LIKELY to be done', possible is 'what CAN be done'. So there is a difference between the two but either could be used (and understood) without any problem. The sentences should be: "The possibility is high that...." "Which possibility is higher?" / "Which possibility is more likely?" "Which is more probable?" / "Which probability is higher?" / "Which probability is more likely?"

    A "forget-me-not" is actually a flower and the word is a noun. So in this context "forget-me-nots" is the plural meaning more than 1 "forget-me-not". Some corrections on your question: "Why is it "nots" in this sentence rather than "not"?" "Is my grammar correct in my question? If I have made any mistakes please point it out for me. Thanks"

    A boring day.

    Today it was a boring day. I didn't work because I got/had the flu, and as my work environment is pretty cold because of the central air, my boss relieved me of the from working for today. Well, I myself think it'd be better if I was working, I spent all the day on my own at home in front of the computer. I didn't go to college too either, so I haven't seen anyone of my friends today.
    Tomorrow I'm going to work and attend to the classes in the college even if I wake up worse then than I'm I am today.


    I'd like someone to correct this text for me, please. Thanks in advance.

    Water shortage

    In this essay, I will argue (I don't think argue is the best word, this is not an argument) talk about water shortages. Water is a vital part of life and access to an adequate supply of water is indispensable for every human being. However, fresh water is continues to be unequally distributed in throughout the world and yet the world population has been continues to grown. In conclusion (In conclusion is normally only used at the end of an essay)  There are water poor countries in the world.

    Especially According to ‘Population Action International’ (PAI), to our surprise, Korea is one of the countries that lacks water. To solve this problem, first, Koreans should first try to save the water. For instance, the amount of the water per person per day of in Korea is close to three times that of Germany. A common example , the way of washing dishes between Germany and Korea is totally different. German does not turn on the water while they wash the dishes. This becomes clearer when you compare the way Germans wash dishes in comparison to the Koreans. German people do not normally run the water while washing while the Korean people do. Some people think that one of the reasons for this is cheap water rates. South Korea's water rate is $ 0.77 per 1 ㎥ and the average water rate of OECD was $ 2.63.

    Second, the Water loss could be also another reason. The A huge amount of water is lost through leaks in some urban water distribution. This kind of losses is caused by old pipes, valves or storage tanks. The repair works are is normally expensive and elaborate in Korea. Also, and choosing proper methods is difficult. Thus, developing a technical strategy is important to resolve this issue.

    To sum up, in many regions, water scarcity is becoming problematic. However from small beginnings came come great things. Conserving water on an individual basis and research of techniques is required to for Korean... (it feels like this sentence is incomplete and requires more information added)

    If somebody "sticks up their nose" to you then they think they are better then you. So, "all of her friends stuck up their noses" would mean that they think they are better than that. "There is more than meets the eye" is in relation to being superficial. It basically means there is more to something than just what you can see. For example, the blonde girl who acts stupid who is actually a well educated lawyer. Hope that helps.

    How I can improve my English's grammar?

    Hello everyone.

    I didnt write haven't written in my notebook for a long time. I was so busy because I was writing a monograph(?? essay maybe)  at college and I will graduate for soon.

    Currently, I am trying to learn english like a children (singular, not plural). I dont have the patience to study with grammar books or take a class every week. I think it is possible to learn english by just practicing it everyday. I am watching TV in english without subtitles everyday for to improve my listening. Maybe I will have great results it is working because I couldn't understand anything when I started to study through this method. but, after a few months, I started to understand a little. lol

    Anyway, I just have a big problem now. I dont know how I should to study grammar without using grammar books. I think grammar books is are so boring and maybe has there are other methods to learn it. I dont know grammar rules and I make a lot of mistakes everytime.

    Can someone give me a good some good advice?
    And, If someone could correct my english, I will get be very happy and grateful. Sorry for my mistakes and sorry if I wrote some incomprehensible words (I am trying to do my best)

    Thank you for you attention.

    I am not sure what your question is exactly.... These are all Godan verbs (Group 1, U-Verbs) and you conjugate them to the plain negative by changing the る to ら and adding ない. Please note: しゃべる ➨しゃべらない. With conjugation, you just just have to learn what type of verb the ones that end in る are because there are exceptions to the rules (like the examples you have given above).

    In this context "__ is not all it's cracked up to be" means:  "it is not as good as people say it is"

    So, "happiness is not all the it's cracked up to be" in this sentence means "In truth, being happy is not as good as people say it is".
