In that case, may I suggest you hire an italki Spanish teacher http://www.italki.com/teachers/1-1-Spanish---0-999999-0-1-1.htm

Using 把 makes the apple the subject of the sentence rather than the object, ie you focus on the what happened to the apple, rather than on *who* ate it. Its similar to the English: The *apple* was eaten by me, instead of, *I* ate the apple. (** used to demonstrate emphasis). I think ...maybe a Chinese speaker can check my interpretation of 把

I had many goals: get good grades, make good connections, build a strong resume, learn a lot, have fun, enjoy the 'college experience,' not graduate with too much debt, etc.

If you find that you're getting too many friend requests that you can't respond to and answer, then may I suggest you go to your settings and choose to not show your profile in the language partner search results. That's what I have done and I went from getting >30 requests / day to ~1 a day. Of course no one needs >100 language partners concurrently...we'd be constantly occupied.

1) Arranging flowers in the traditional manner is very difficult for me. // Flower arranging in the traditional style is very difficult for me. // I find traditional flower arrangements to be a very difficult task for me to do. (all of it sounds a bit awkward. Why not just say, I'm terrible at making traditional flower arrangements // I'm terrible at traditional flower arranging. ?) #2 is fine 3) We typically say: Arguing doesn't solve anything. Or you could say: This argument won't solve any problems. ===================== In answer to your additional question, it depends on whether there is both a noun form and a verb form of what you're trying to say. In normal life, most of us don't arrange flowers (or even talk about it) therefore that's sort of an odd verb choice + noun for us. Also, when choosing whether to use active verb (ing) or supplementary verb + noun really depends on what you're trying to say, ie what is the key point of the sentence. Do you want to tell us that you're actively doing something or do you want to focus on the object? Besides just constant immersion in the language, the only way you can really understand the best use is by increasing the amount of reading and listening you do of English. Over time you will develop a better ear for whether to use active tense verbs or verbal phrases. According to my high school English teacher, the best words to use are active verbs and very descriptive adjectives.

Anywhere in Europe to get an EU passport so that I could live and work there, probably either Germany or Spain. I think Canada would be a good choice as well.

Gorilla, no doubt. Why would you want a dog that sings? What a strange question!
