- Fast Food Fast food is prepared and served very quickly. Young people like it because it is cheap and convenient. Doctors think it is bad for young people’s health because it has too much fat, sugar, and salt and makes them overweight. It increases their risk of developing diabetes and high blood pressure. Psychologists believe it can be bad for family life because teenagers are often not at home for mealtimes. In addition, fast food has bad effects on the environment because many people throw leftovers in public places, which affects the cleanliness of a city. For the sake of the environment, you should throw your fast food wrappings and cups in the rubbish bin.0 votedNovember 6, 20221
- Listen to Lauryn Hill's song,"Everything is Everything"... I'm joking, well sort of. It's a classic song and the first thing that popped into my head. Like the other commenter said, it means "it is what it is". Events in life are the way they are. The sub-context is to not try and fight the positive and negative experiences in life. simply roll with what happens. "It is what it is" can refer to a singular bad situation.
When something unjust happens, like a break-up in a relationship. A friend might respond, "man, I'm sorry to hear that." Yet the guy who got broken up could reply, "it is what it is" or "everything is everything", which means he's cool with it.0 votedMay 27, 20180 - That movie was freaking hilarious! I haven't laughed so hard, since "Team America", which is saying something. The first Deadpool was really good, but for me, the second one beat it out. However, if you go see it and think the first one was better, I understand because it's a close call between which one is better. I highly recommend it! Also, this movie was done by 20th Century Fox who own the rights to Marvel's X-Men. Marvel's parent company, Disney, just bought 20th Century Fox. So, Deadpool making about $150 million opening weekend puts Disney in a bind because they don't make R-rated movies. We'll see what happens! Either way, this movie does not disappoint!0 votedMay 27, 20180

Chomsky – 90. Big Think – 50.
Meeting with X – 200.
I will think in English. I must focus on writing more. Here is what I thought about it: Writing is the hardest thing to do. It’s the most significant linguistic skill. It’s also the best tool for developing our thinking. Most people can’t write. Of course they know how to do it, but they don’t use it. Even people who write regularly rarely use writing to improve their thinking. Thinking, as far as I’m concerned, is the process of creation of a creating new meaning. It works with memory and imagination; however, it’s more than the mixing of these two things.
In order to make my English better, I have to start doing “Hour of Thinking” in this language. Writing is an active process, it is a practice, and it improves language much more than just receiving information.

I liked it because the action started from the very beginning of the movie. And when the carácter aren´t figting characters weren't fighting, they are making comedy with thier made some good jokes.
In the other hands the movie have some places such nice parts of the The scenery in the movie was nice, and the costumes are were fantastic.I also think so that all this things are good, but I also think, that the most important part in of this movie, is the final message
And Which what is the message ?
The message is that you can to have all the money, all the pleasures, all the power of the world, but if your heart is empty and you don't have the love in it, you never will do be happy.*Excellent effort! Also a good topic! You did a good job!
1) "I saw the new Avengers movie" OR "I saw Avengers: Infinity Wars". Be specific about which movie. There are 3 Avengers movies.
2) I broke it up into two sentences because the two ideas do not fit will in one sentence. First you are stating something general, then you are describing specific ideas. If a person asks you if you like something. The reply is "yes, I liked it" or "no, I did not". If a person wants to know more, then you can continue with statements to support your opinion.
3) I do not know what you were trying to say in the sentence with the costumes, so I took a guess.
4)* - I did not delete this because it is grammatically correct, but it is a little redundant. "An empty heart has no love", so it can be said in a less wordy way. Example:" ...but if your heart is empty and without love, you will never be happy". In English, if the ideas are very similar or closely related, the adjectives can be combined without a subject. We do not say, "I am happy and I am excited". We simply say, "I am happy and excited". It's describing two ideas in the same tense with the same subject. Another example, "My umbrella is small and useless in the rain.
5). Your punctuation rules might be switched around. Use a comma (,) to take a break in a thought. Use a (.) at the end of a complete thought.
6). Good job on the past tense and present! Tense. I crossed out the "also" because you finished writing about your past experience, then you talk about the present impact that the movie had on you. I had to think about that, lol.
Good Luck! Feel free to comment, if you have any questions.

-. In theory, it's not impossible things in theory
-. I haven't any planned so far. I have not planned anything yet.
-. I don't have any plans so far. yet.
I learned"so far" is mostly used with have pp forms.
Can I use "so far" without have pp form?
Thank you.I'm not sure what you mean by PP forms. Do you mean past participle?
In general, try to use more formal language before using casual language. A lot of rules can broken in casual conversation. When writing, the phrases have to be more detailed to convey the intended meaning.
Sincerely,
Dianez

In this sentence, "Whatever" is being used as a conjunction. https://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/american/whatever_1 I think it needs another comma after "identity" but, British English might not have a comma. I hope that helps!0 votedMay 22, 20180
- All of them are correct except, "We are only a few days off the deadline" doesn't really work on it's own because it's vague. Someone would need to know what is going on. It is not correct if someone is trying to meet a deadline that is in the future. "Away" refers to future. "Off" can refer to the past. If someone is off their deadline, they are late! For example: Person A: "The supplies are arriving late. How many days are we off our deadline? Person B: "We are only a few days off OUR deadline". "Deadline" is in the part of the sentence that acts like a prepositional phrase. The sentence is "We are only a few days off". That is a complete sentence. So, just saying "the deadline" is basically an incomplete prepositional phrase. You could say, "We are only a few days off FROM MEETING (your, our, his, her, their, my) deadline." Still, the sentence is reliant on previous sentence.0 votedMay 22, 20180
