Profile
I now specialise in the IELTS test preparation and I am a professional online EFL teacher. Prior to this I was an EFL teacher at a large Government school for 2 years. I taught mainly conversation skills and before the school I was a Hotel English trainer teaching industry specific vocabulary. Having more than 20 years of hands on business experience in the UK I can also help with business English. I would like to describe myself as a creative, resourceful teacher with a flexible approach who is not afraid to step out of my comfort zone. In the classroom my lessons were always dynamic with lots of student involvement. My TEFL training was specifically aimed towards Asian learners and my certificate is recognised by the Thai ministry of education. Teaching is more than just teaching from a book, its about inspiring, encouraging and passing on personal knowledge and experience.

    Hi Adel, Micheal is quite correct 1 and 3 are fine, however as native speakers we would much more be likely to say "I will show you when I have finished it".

    Hi Anny, Some One is a misspelling of someone, there is never a space between the two words. Hope that helps :)

    Hi Francesca,

     

    I'm a native speaker and would be interested to know where or how you found this expression, was it possibly from a friend? As it is not correct I'm sorry to say. If you were to say this to a native speaker they may understand what you mean, but would find the phrase unusual and possibly amusing.

     

    The correct term is quite vulgar but would be understood by all native speakers instantly. I would not like to post the correct term here for fear of causing offence etc; Should you wish to learn the correct term then please message me and I shall be happy to provide the details.

     

    Neil

    Hi Hanna, This is an interesting question. If I'm correct in what you are asking then "Westerners" such as Gary will not understand what you are asking. However I think the word "Literary" should possibly be "literally" as in a literal type of action or literal thinking! It is true that most westerners will spend their leisure time to improve or use their mind to possibly improve themselves by reading and other activities, or spend time simply thinking about (reflecting) things or actions from the past. Here in Thailand many Thai people believe that it is not a good idea to think too much. Therefore they shall spend much of their leisure time "resting their mind". I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this. Neil :)

    Hi Iris, OK, for one on one situations as such as this, once you have finished discussing what you met for and it comes to arranging the next appointment, simply say we shall meet again at "11am sharp". Emphasis on the "sharp" and the latecomer who will know he/she is a latecomer should take the hint. This is probably the most informal way of dealing with this kind of person. If the situation persists what you need to say is that you have further appointments after your next appointment with the latecomer and simply ask them to be on time please, so long as you use the word please it will be taken as a polite request. You could also say "would you mind being on time for our next meeting please" as I have a busy schedule. It depends on the situation but there are many ways of dealing with latecomers in a polite way. Hope that helps :)

    To "show off" means to let other people see what you are good at doing in a boastful manner. So if a girl is very good at dancing she can "show off" her dancing skills on the dance floor for all to see. So she would be a "show off girl" You can also show off things as well such as pets like in a dog show, a car at a car show. Hope that helps :)

    Hi, Sorrow is to feel sorry or possibly sad, "Sorrows".. He is regretting his "sorrows". Things or actions he has done in the past. Yes you can add "s" to other certain feelings also, such as... He is in a bad mood, his moods are always changing. Hope that helps :)

    Hi, A "dead end street" is one that has no exit at the end so you will need to turn back to get out of the street. In the UK the formal term is Cul-de-sac! A "Blind alley" is I think the same. I have never heard the term "Blind street" in the UK. Hope that helps :)
