I've studied spanish off and on over the years. Currently, I wish to brush up on it for upcoming trips to Central America as well as to be able to help my children learn it. Interests include food, literature, math (sorry), travel, art, medicine, boating, hiking/camping, Arabic and food. I don't feel my Arabic is advanced enough to do conversation at this point. Oh, and did I mention food.

    Fitball

    My favorite hobby nowadays would be fitball. When I am stressed out or I have a bad day, I usually go to the gym and it helps me to relax, to get into a good mood and feel better.

    I specially love fitball classes, because the way I see it is a great way to workout every muscle in your body. The activity consists of doing exercises with a ball which is an unstable base and it helps me to improve my balance and to strengthen my muscles.


    To practice this activity you only need to wear sport clothes, a ball which you can get in the gym and a small towel to wipe your sweat. Moreover you should not forget water because it is important to keep hydrated whilst you are exercising. It is better if your T-shirt is made of breathable fabric like cotton.

    I love fitball and I enjoy practicing it in my spare time. I would recommend that everybody who is interested in sports to do it at least once in her his/her (or their) life because everybody can do it and it is very fun.

    Overall, this is excellent. HIs/her vs their is tricky. See a good discussion at http://www.merriam-webster.com/video/the-awkward-case-of-his-or-her.

    The differences are small and probably don't matter, however.... 'stop by' gives the impression that the extra stop is not our of one's way. 'drop by' is usually to visit someone rather than, say, an errand to the store. 'swing by' gives the impression that the extra stop is out of one's way, that one has to adjust one's route to make the extra stop. Hope that helps.

    'I can't afford entering the museum' and 'I refuse answering any more questions' are very acceptable English. '... entering the museum' and '...answering any more questions' would serve as noun phrases similar to: 'I can't afford this car' and 'I refuse your request'.

    Yo soy de acuerdo con Lee. Son mas o menos lo mismo, salvo 'others' puede significar cualquiera cosa y no es limitado a personas.

    Yes, you may use either one. They are interchangeable.

    With no context to suggest otherwise, I think they can be used interchangeably.

    You are correct. 'Approach' as a verb is not followed by 'to' but rather directly by the object of the verb. I approach the bank. My approach to the bank from the rear.

    1) her condition was deteriorating rapidly 2) overlooked = missed. The symptoms were not noticed, or if noticed, no attention was paid to them. 3) tossed out = rejected. For whatever reasons, those papers didn't meet the criteria of the authors' study. 4) 'how they fared' refers to the outcome of their disease and its treatment. In general, if they fared well, they got better. If they fared poorly, they got worse. 5) personalized = individualized. It is recognition of the fact that no one treatment is best for all patients. In this age of genomic medicine, we actually take into account the genetics of the cancer (e.g. BRCA1, BRCA2, HER2 for breast cancer) as well as the genetics of the patient with regard to their expected metabolism of the medications to be used. 6) 'Sex' here means gender. Nobody is treaty cancer with sex. Too many patients would sign up for that study.
