In my opinion, these do not have the same meaning. no hard feelings really means "I won't be mad at you and I hope you won't be either" nothing personal really means "I had to do something mean to you but not because I don't like you" nothing malicious, I agree, is not an expression that I have heard before and I don't think is used. hope that helps.

Here are some examples of sentences using the word: surely. Surely, you can make an exception for me. Will you wait for me? Surely! Surely, you remember. Surely means yes or it can be used to emphasize the speaker's firm belief that what they are saying is true and often their surprise that there is any doubt of this. You can see this in each example. Surely and really do not mean the same thing. To me, using surely here doesn't sound like good grammar. Really means very, or emphasizes the significance of whatever it is put in front of. Certainly and surely are synonyms. Synonyms are words that mean the same thing so you can exchange them. Certainly, you can make an exception for me. Will you wait for me? Certainly! Certainly you remember. Using the word really in place of certainly/surely: Really, you can make an exception for me. Will you wait for me? Really! Really, you remember. As you can see the meaning of the sentences have now changed dramatically or in some cases do not make sense. This is the case in the sentence that was corrected for you. I would still correct the sentence like this: I really hope nothing else with break now since it really is an old bicycle. Hope that helps

My Childhood :)

Ten years ago I was 10 years old. I had a unique experience. My hobby was playing with my friends. One day I asked my friends to play in the rice field. We had a plan to find snails. The rice field was not far from my home, it was about 20 meters. So we decided to go on foot.
My friend asked me to walk in first, and I agreed. I took my first step into the rice field. But suddenly my left leg fell into another rice field and my body became black and covered with thick mud. But I didn't know why my friends were laughing at me. Then they all joined me and fell into the rice field too. 

This is my childhood memory :)

     Formal education methods where the teacher instructs the whole class and the students work alone are more reliable and produce better results than informal methods. Do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, the education system in this country is steadily advancing. Students are getting online videos and tutorials and can utilize a World Wide Web where they can enhance their level of expertise (It was a fragment/not a full sentence). Internet has brought a revolution to this world.
In the past there was a tradition to follow the formal method of education.

     Teachers used to instruct the whole class and the students worked alone. However, there are certain educational institutes which are still following this teaching policy. I believe it helps students to work independently and to cope with their needs without help. As they have to do their work alone. But the other perspective believes that co-operation and group work is equally important for growth.

     This informal way of educating students is useful for increasing their area of knowledge. Informal ways of education is getting more popular in youngsters. They use internet and group work to learn and get experience. In this way they not only increase the level of expertise in their field but also get to know about the importance of teamwork. They also learn how to use other levels of knowledge in their task and utilize time and resources to produce better results.
        I don’t agree with the statement about informal ways of teaching. I believe it produces better results than the formal way because it involves a group of thinkers and innovators bringing together their way of techniques and style in order to have a better outcome. I believe it should be implemented in every school and university to bring a new future to this world.
