    Dear friend,

    Currently I am in college, studying linguistics, but I hope to graduate soon. I think I have five months to go at most, so I should finish my studies by July. Then, with my cap and my gown, I will set out to get a masters degree. By the way, I am gathering some people that have some free time to conduct research in the field of comparative linguistics. If you are interested, call me up and I will set a time and date with you so that we can talk this through.

    Best regards,
    Gabriel.


    Thank you!!

     

    "conduct a research" - "a" is not necessary.

    "and a date" - again "a" is not necessary.

    Working in a group on class assignments:

    I prefer working in a group.

    First of all, each individual in the group can contribute to classes assignments. They can all think of different ways to fulfill assignments.

    As human beings, we all are limited, but more ideas or solutions can be provided by group work.

    On the other hand, each team member only need to be responsible for one part of an assignment, therefore, it'll be much easier for everyone.

    Moreover, we can become friends with each other after having got to known them better through working together in a group.

    Finally, teamspirit is a critical quality we should have in a modern society. Working in a group can allow us to learn and possess such spirit(qualities).

    I'd use got stuck. "Got stopped" implies that you were stopped by someone. As Susan612 said we also say "it's frozen". We also used the video cut or is cutting.

    If you can't find a language exchange partner you may want to look into scheduling sessions with a tutor on italki.

    That sounds like a great idea, I'm sure many tutors will game. Just send them a message and ask if it's okay when you schedule a session. :)

    For speaking, the best way to improve is speaking to have regular conversations in English. I'd suggest a minimum of 1 hour a week (this can be broken up into two 30 minutes conversations).

    Taking session with a tutor might be a good idea as you'll get feedback on your pronounciation and vocabulary.

     

    Additionaly, to improve your listening you could try watching videos online (tedtalks are great as you can read the transcript) or movies and  TV series with subtitles. When you become more confident in your listening you can stop using the transcript or subtitles.

     

    Good Luck :)

    Assessment: the evaluation of a student's achievement on a course. Criteria: a standard of judgment; a rule or principle for evaluating or testing something. So, when students do an assessment they are marked on a specific criteria.

    How to start learning English:
    I want to improve my English but I don't know how to start. I can understand what other people are talking about but I just can't answer. Because I do not have much vocabulary. I even I learn by heart the words but I don't know how to use them ! And I think my grammar is really bad.
    I am considering joining a class to improve TOEIC scores. But I think it's no use. Even I got the high scores, I still can't talk or write. The score is only a reference for a company. And the language school is really expensive.
    I always use google translate. It's funny if I use google translate to reply the mail to my client !!!!
    I think many people have same problem.

     

     

    This was nicely, written there were just a few mistakes with word forms.
    Why don't you try taking some online sessions?
    I would suggest you ask a tutor to do sessions with set topics, that way you can prepare some vocabulary and practice using it. Your tutor will probably let you know if you are using a word incorrectly or are making grammar mistakes.
    Ask your tutor to speak slowly, after some sessions you'll start to understand a little better.

    Another tip for listening skills is watching movies in English. I suggest watching a movie that you've watched before in your native language, that way you'll be able to follow the story while focusing mostly on listening and vocabulary. :)

    Assure is something you do to a person, a group of people, or an animal to remove doubt or anxiety, as in Squiggly assured Aardvark that he'd come to the party early. You can remember that assure can only be used with things that are alive (and both assure and alive start with a). Only things that are alive can feel doubt or anxiety, so only they can be assured. Ensure is something you do to guarantee an event or condition, as in To ensure there'd be enough food, Aardvark ordered twice as much food as last year. You can remember that guarantee has those two e's on the end to help you remember that to ensure (with an e) is to guarantee something. Insure can be done to a person, place, or thing, but it's reserved for limiting financial liability, most commonly by obtaining an insurance policy, as in Aardvark wondered if the caterers were insured against loss. You can remember that we take out insurance to protect our income if we become unemployed, disabled, or injured in an accident. Both insure and income begin with -in
