    I think the second question is just a typo. I think it should be "an all-American" boy I'm sorry but I don't think I can help with the first one

    Hey Lily, sorry I don't practice medicine, but I think it's really great that you want to! I believe it's a very long and expensive journey no matter what country you're in. I just wanted to wish you luck! You can do it! :)

    I agree that you are doing the best you can with listening exersices. If you want to practice even further, I suggest finding a friend (or someone here on italki) to practice speaking and listening skills. They will give better feedback as well!

    We need more information. It sounds like the person "was not even a little tired" meaning they were wide awake It is possible that they could say "He was not a little tired, but very tired!" However they would probably make it more obvious if that were the case. (I'm guessing it means they were wide awake) Hope this helped!

    You can say "I am done with my homework" or "I finished my homework" to say that your homework was completed. Or, you could say "I stopped doing my homework" if you were working on it, but did not finish it. Saying "I am gone" is saying that you have already left the place that you were at. You would probably say "I'm already gone" or "I already left" or just "I left" Example: Someone calls you on the phone and asks if you are at a party. You say, "I already left" if you are no longer there anymore. 'Leave' has several definitions, and you can say it different ways You would say "I will leave" if you haven't left yet, but you will in the future Example: 'I will leave after I finish eating" If you are in the process going from a place, you would say "I am leaving" Example: You would say "I'm leaving!" to you mom as you walk out the door Hope this helped!

    If there is a photo of many people you can simply ask "Where are you in this picture?" or even simpler, "Where are you?" The other person will understand what you mean :)

    "It is useful to me" is a complete thought and doesn't need any further information However, "It is useful for me" is the beginning of a thought and needs to be completed. Let's say 'it' is your hand. It is useful for me to tie my shoe. It is useful for me to cook. I hope this helped!

    'Get' has MANY definitions.Examples are: He will get (arrive) home late, Can you get (fetch) me a spoon? I will get (an effect) my hair cut. 'Obtain' is a synonym (two words meaning the same thing) for one of the definitions of 'get'. Obtain means something has come into your possession (it is now yours). Example: I obtained the ability to read once I learned the alphabet. I obtained more money after getting a job This one is a little trickier and will just take practice. 'To' also has many many definitions and functions. A few examples are: I walked to the store, It is five minutes to 10 o'clock. I am five miles to the east of you. Some examples of the word 'For' are: I sing for the fun of it. This flower is for you. I dance for the applause. Here is an example where you might need help distinguishing the two. "It is important for/to me to learn English." In this case, if it is important "for" me to learn English, that means there is a meaning behind me learning English. For instance, "It is important for me to learn English so I can talk to my friend in England." If you were to say "It is important 'to' me to learn English," It means that you value learning English. Lucky for you, there's not big difference between 'talk' and 'converse' The main thing I can think of is the amount of people talking. One person can talk, a million people can talk two people can talk to each other,and any number of people you can think of can talk. It doesn't matter the amount of people, you can always use the word 'talk'. 'Converse' refers to the word 'conversation' which is when two (or more) people are talking to each other. Example: If a professor is giving a lecture to students, the professor is talking. They are not conversing because the students are just listening. However, when the professor has lunch with another professor and they both talk about how their day is going, they are conversing. Whew! I really hope this helped! :)

    The definition of institutionalized is 'established in practice or custom' meaning that something becomes common because everyone else is doing it. Perhaps the sentence means that a kid's childhood experiences are limited because of what everyone else says is too dangerous, how everyone else is raising their own children, or how the parents themselves were raised as kids This question is kind of tricky. I hope this helped!
