    Two words:  situational awareness!

     

    1.  Whenever traveling, I carry any personal belongings in my sports bra (it's a zippered sports bra that doubles as a purse)!  http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/colosseum-top-crisscross-ruched-zip-pocket-sports-bra?ID=966723

     

    2.  Try to BLEND!  Don't wear outrageous outfits, don't draw unwanted attention...just be!  Enjoy, indulge, but be COGNIZANT of your surroundings!

     

    3.  The biggest worry I have in Paris isn't crime, but rather, animal feces which litters the city sidewalks!

     

    4.  http://www.worldexecutive.com/locations/europe/france/paris/tips.html

     

    5.  Recommend residing in apartments/residences via AirBNB, etc vice hotels to reduce your 'touristy' footprint!

     

    Bon voyage!

    Actions speak louder than words (Meaning:  Literally, if you say something, prove it through the follow-through of your actions.)

     

    Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. (Meaning:  Rather than doing actions for others, to give a long-term, sustainable gift, it is best to teach versus doing for others.)

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/language/askaboutenglish/2009/06/090818_aae_just_only.shtml The context of this link includes an English listening sample and explanation which may be helpful! Although they appear similar, 'only' and 'just' are used in different manners. I 'just' posted the link above versus I 'only' posted the lin above. With practice, you will begin to hear the difference in context and when to use each!

    Horoscopes and astrology are like Bonnie and Clyde.  I believe the true essence of horoscopes have verred towards commercialism versus their roots in astrology, thereby, giving the impression of frivolous nonsense/fortune cookie advice!  Still, they are fun to read every now and again just to read creative writing!  I truly do believe our astrological signs do play some role in our love interests, etc...I happened to always choose January born boyfriends and now husband!  

     

    Astrology is the ancient art and study of the movements of the planets, the other celestial bodies and the impact (due to aspects) they have on our lives. The word Astrology comes from the Greek word Astrologia, which means star study.

    Great Practice Reading (Intermediate/Advanced English) 'The New Yorker' magazine is a treasure trove for advanced, witty English vernacular! Here's an example of how the magazine's authors delve into the details of each and every topic. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2014/01/calling-emily-post.html?utm_source=tny&utm_campaign=generalsocial&utm_medium=facebook Happy reading, Crystal

    I want to improve my English accent in English.

    I'd like to improve my English accent in English. Next time, I'll upload my recording, and I would <em>(or I'd)</em> like to have it correctedd in terms of pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. The goal is to get my pronunciation as close to an American accent as possible.

     

    Best of luck!  You're on the right track and looking forward to your recording!

    Could you help to correct my mistakes, please?

    Hello, everybody. I'm asking for help. Here is my translation of one text. Could you please help me to correct my mistakes, please?
    Thank you in advance.

    About eExams (1st part)

    1. The better (or you could use 'more' depending on the context) you study, the far more likely to you will get hired.
    2. High grades demonstrate exemplifyies that, you can study to your heart's content, your heart out (do do one's very best\to go to the utmost\to the fullest extent of\push oneself to the limit\to go all out\ to work one's tail off), concentrate on the subject, and set and reach <em>(or attain)</em> your goals.
    3. All this, undoubtedly, plays a role in the hiring. <em>(or '...the hiring process')</em>
    4. The aforementioned above facts (above-mentioned facts) are particularly important when companies are offering fewer and fewer jobs for unskilled workers.
    5. You should be self-confident and proud of your erudition.<em> (Great use of 'erudition')</em>
    6. You should ignore advices of from not serious (facetious/frivolous--unsure the context) persons (people).

     

    Great work on these concepts and expressions!

    Great question! Bother/disturb: Rather than formal/informal, the context of when to use these words is rooted in severity of a situation. For example, 'bother' is typically used in mild contexts (i.e. when little siblings bother/irritate older siblings causing a nuisance). 'Disturb,' on the other hand, is a few degrees higher than 'bother.' If a situation elevates from bother to disturb, it literally means that one person's ill actions have completely affected another person negatively. Hopefully you comprehend the differences, now we'll compare the similarities. In the sense,"Don't bother me now" / "Don't disturb me now," the words have very similar meanings, but both words can be used in other ways. "It's no BOTHER" - "it doesn't BOTHER me; I don't mind" "Don't BOTHER [doing something]" - it's not important enough to worry about, or to BOTHER WITH DISTURB generally means to disrupt something that was previously calm or settled. DISTURBING describes something that affects you negatively emotionally, for example "The live execution of the prisoner was DISTURBING". Another gradation of this word set would be: irritate, agitate, or annoy. Best wishes!
