This was really good. Just a few small corrections.
... The amount of spending in on electricity and water saw a dramatic increase over the ten year period from 75 AUD to 120 AUD. In terms of expenditure in on non-essential goods and services, the rising trend was less obvious with a minor increase of 20 AUD; at the same time, the amount of money spent in on housing and food rose slightly from 95 AUD to 100 AUD and 155 AUD to 160 AUD, respectively.
However, there was a small decrease in spending on the other two items. Australians spent one third less in on clothing, which fell from 30 AUD to 20 AUD. Similarly, expenditure on transport decreased from 70 AUD in 1991 to 45 AUD in 2001.
As it could can be seen, that the expenditure on food and other goods and services was the biggest expenses of items of an average Australian family between 1991 and 2001 that the largest expenditure of an Australian family between 1991 and 2001 was on food and other goods and services. Altogether, they these accounted for more than half of the total spending. By comparison, Australian spent a little on dressing up.

When I listen to Spanish or Portuguese radio, I know that I won't understand everything, but it still helps me to become more familiar with the rhythm and the accent. A combination is probably best - using tutoring and audiobooks to build your foundations, and using radio to push your boundaries.

The sentence is "With flat hands pressed against the stone wall of the telegraph office, it was possible to inch back up to standing." It could be simplified, "It was possible to stand up slowly by pressing against the wall." Let's look at the difficult pieces. First, "With flat hands pressed against..." This phrase works like an adverb. You could say, "If you pressed your hands flat against the wall, it was possible to get up." Think of someone with a sore back, who needs to use a railing or a cane to stand up. Second, "to inch back up to standing". To inch means to move slowly, in little movements. We might say, "The ant inched toward the sandwich" or "The girl inched away from the big dog." So, the sentence is saying that it was possible to stand up slowly, little by little. I hope this helps!0 votedMarch 23, 20140
- Good question. (C) and (D) look similar but they mean very different things. It's hard to explain, but maybe some examples of how (C) and (D) are used will be helpful. Here are some examples of the two different phrases. Might as well: "You might as well go out tonight - you won't get any studying done anyway." "If you keep feeding that cat, you might as well let it live in the house." Might well: "If you put a Coke in a microwave, it might well explode." "John might well be the tallest man in town." "Might as well" means that one choice is just as good as another. "Might well" means that something is possible or likely. I hope this helps!0 votedMarch 23, 20141

J’ai hâte que les cours terminent, parce que je veux bien du temps libre pour apprendre ce que je n’ai pas eu le temps à apprendre pendant le semestre, et parce que j’ai besoin de travailler pour payer mon année prochaine. Je ne sais pas encore que je vais faire comme travail cet été. C’est possible que je travaille pour mon frère, qui dirige une entreprise de peinture et de lavage de vitres. Pour ça, il me faudrait retourner chez moi, et donc je pourrais voir ma petite copine plus souvent. Par contre, c’est possible que je trouve un emploi ici à l’université ou ses environs pour l’été. J’aimerais bien cette possibilité aussi, parce qu’il me donnerait l’opportunité d’utiliser le centre athlétique de l’université, d’habiter avec mes colocataires chez nous, et de passer du temps loin de ma famille, qui peuvent être fatigants!March 19, 201430
Try again.
today I went to the gym with my father [first time in our apartment?]. before going there, I was worried about my father's action. because I couldn't expect what he does would do. as I was expected, my father was disappeared when I was running on the machine. And I stopped running and went out for looking for him. he was strolling here and there when I saw him at the lobby. then I came back to the running machine and kept running. after we finished work-out on the way home, his face has very satisfactory seemed very satisfied with something I don't know. I think my father is still juvenail juvenile. In fact, when everytime he does something new, he becomes very arrogant that is very proud of himself and selfishness.
