Profile
I am originally from South Africa, but currently studying teaching in Scotland. I have travelled for the last few years, working as a business English teacher as well as teaching younger children. I am learning Mandarin as part of my degree, and am at level one, so still some ways to go! I am mainly looking for help in regards to any issues I may have with Mandarin, as well as offering a helping hand to those who may need it.

    In this sentence, the word, 'are' is used. This is because 'hamburger' is a countable noun. Too many hamburgers ARE bad for you. If you had an uncountable noun, such as 'sugar', then you would use IS: Too much sugar IS bad for you. Nuno is correct in saying, however, that by adding the present participle 'eating', you would need to use the word IS, i.e. Eating too many hamburgers IS bad for you.

    Sorry, pressed submit by mistake! 'So if turn a few heads' means to be good looking, the fact that she had turned few heads means she isn't good looking (was plain looking so not many people turned to look at her').

    Correct! Opposite is when two things face each other, and in front of is when an object is ahead of another, back to front, i.e. I am in front of my friend when my back is to his front and I am opposite my friend when we are facing one another.

    I agree with everyone here- long are the days when people have to change their names to suit another's language/ country. If you are set on finding one however, the only thing I can think of is Mischa, like the actress Mischa Barton . Or try Michelle.

    I have tried to help with editing, though it is difficult, particulary in regards to the sentance about the daily pool regulation. However, the Transcaucasian highway runs through the national nature reserve, and in 2009 (subject) commenced the construction of the Zaramag hydro power plant (HPP). Since 2010, they have been implementing the daily pool regulation, deriving and summing water to diversion tunnels. Paved roads, heavily trafficked by construction machinery and vehicles, are not moistened as they should be, and the environment is polluted by exhaust gases and dust. As a result roadside vegetation is dying, and habitats are either being disturbed or destroyed. There are also four stone crushing companies which operate in the valleys of the rivers Ardon and Sadon, as well as in the reservoir of the Mizur’s concentration plant in the area of the village Nizhniy Unal, in the immediate vicinity of the river Ardon.

    Yes, you can use the phrase, "Humanity is dead". It's actually part of a quote by Friedrich Nietzsche, said by his character, the Madman. “Whither is humanity? cried the Madman. I will tell you. We have killed it. We are its murderers!", ”God is dead, and we are his murderers” .

    In a poetical sense, this phrase could be taken to mean that the person has waited a very very long time to find love.
