    How lucky to get this article today. I love this show, and like to make flashcards out of the dialogue. Sometimes it takes a while to enter a whole episode one by one. The next episode in the sequence was this one, so no I have a shortcut--plus explanations. Thank you! Perfect timing!

    About Him.

    He was born in a small house in the country. His parents were very poor and they built their house with gifted materials from their best friends (or "with materials gifted by their best friends"). One bedroom and one kitchen for five familys members and two dogs, a pitiful condition. He was the last child in the family.

    He walked when he was six months and pronounced his first words at his seven months, his first words were "milk mom, milk please". Those words would mock him forever. When he was one year old, his father found a snake together with him. He -his father- was scared and ran toward his son. However, the snake slithered away first and disappeared into the hay/grass.

    His childhood was difficult, his parents always had problems earning money and providing him food (or "providing food for him"). However, he and his siblings always had food but his parents did not have it. At that time, he never knew about hunger and poverty. His parents told to him that a great future was waiting for him and it was true.

    He was lucky because he was born in a country where the education was free. Also, his elementary school teachers were among the best instructions in his country. His first day at the school was difficult, but not for him, it was difficult for his parents. They cried every day and were worried with respect to their youngest son.


    To continue......

    Very good! Some corrections were just to make it a little more natural. :-)

    Интернет d воскресенье Я не знаю зачем, но кажется каждый воскресенье вечер мой интернет перестает работать. Сегодня вечером я слушала подкаст. Мужчина читал вслух ужасный рассказ о человеке который вернется в город где он вырос. Он обнаруживает ужасный секрет который существует там. Но мне было трудно следовать рассказ когда голос остановился каждый несколько секунд в течение нескольких минут. Я должна слушать это снова с самого начала.

    Я жду... Обидно! Недавно я была нанят чтобы писать короткую книгу. Эта будет новую версию книги "Эмма" джейны Остины, написана для молодых читателов. В этой версие, все персонажи живут в нашей время и они ученики в старшой школе. (Очень похож на фильма "Clueless.") Я должна написать эту книгу очень быстро. Крайний Срок на следующей неделе. Я отправила редактору идеи о рассказе. Но настоящее время, она до сих пор отправила не ответа. Я не могу начинать писать пока я не получу её ответ. Когда редактор ожидает что я напишу эту книгу которую она рассчитывает получить на следующую пятницу? Ответите мне, редактор, пожалуйста!

    Without seeing the exact context, I read it as #2. The person had a high opinion of themselves or of someone else, and they saw that opinion is wrong. When someone thinking very highly of another person and gives them special treatment, thinks they're superior to others, they can be said to be putting them "on a pedestal" so I think it's that.

    I would say that "being" when used as a verb implies continuous action. It always needs a helping verb too. "To be" is the infinitive. For instance: He is being a jerk = He is in the process of being a jerk, the action is not completed yet. ("He is being" not "He being") He was being a jerk = Again, a continuous action, this time in the past. He wants to be a doctor = This describes a completed action in the future where he is a doctor. Once he's a doctor he will always be a doctor. I hope that helps

    Midnight journey there and back again

    Midnight. Silence. Everybody sleeps. Except you. You are on the way to the bathroom and your mission is getting there waking nobody. But the point is that the more you try to walk quietly the more noise there is in fact.

     

    This is all correct! To make it sound a little more natural I might say:


    Midnight. Silence. Everybody sleeps. Except you. You are on the way to the bathroom and your mission is to get there without waking anybody. But the point is that the more you try to walk quietly the more noise you make.


    But the way you wrote it is right too.
