    Yep, exactly what Peachey said. "Already" simply emphasizes the action being referred to with more force. It's not used in the UK. Definitely used in the US

    That's not correct Keira..."I will need it in my course in the english language" does not sound right. You would say "I will need it FOR my English language course"

    If you really want to use "need", the full sentence would be...

    "I want to learn English because I will need it for my English Language course."

    Asahi you were not so far off with your initial effort. You could say

    "I want to learn English because I will be studying the English Language"

    However the whole sentence could be put in a slightly better way.You want to learn English because it will help you in your studies. A better way to articulate what you are trying to say would be


    "I want to learn English because it will help me in my English Language studies"

    1. People sometimes wonder (HOW) you can learn how body languages works. (The "how" is implied by the next sentence which introduces possible options on HOW you could learn body language...read books..or observe people directly) 2. It is of course possible to read books on the subject but you also need to (take) time observing people’s movements. CORRECT!! 3. A railway station is a particulary good place (FOR) such observation, (The station is good FOR (the purpose of) observation. Just like a spoon is useful FOR eating!) 4. as here people can (be) seen openly expressing eagerness,..CORRECT!! BY THE WAY!! other corrections u didnt ask for...but...why not im feeling crazy.. 1.learn how body languages works....LEARN HOW BODY LANGUAGE WORKS (no "s") 2. sorrow, impatient and many other human emotions by means of movement...IMPATIENCE (not impatient)

    Hi guys, since you're all soooo interested ill see if I can clear this up :=) In informal writing and speech “if” and “whether” are often interchangeable.. However in formal writing it helps to differentiate between them because the meaning can sometimes be different depending on which word you use. Generally you Use "if" for a CONDITIONAL idea, and "whether" for an ALTERNATIVE or possibility. This is really an area where examples are crucial because in some cases the meaning wont change, and in some cases it will. “IF” AND “WHETHER” INTERCHANGEABLE I didn't know whether he was coming on friday. I didn't know if he was coming on Friday. In either sentence, the meaning is that he may or may not arrive on Friday. “IF” AND “WHETHER” NOT INTERCHANGEABLE I didn't know whether he was coming on Friday or Saturday. Here we use Whether, so we're showing that there are two possibilities: he will come on Friday OR Saturday. Now we use if instead of whether in the same sentence I didn't know if he was coming on Friday or Saturday. Now in addition to arriving on Friday or Saturday, there is also the chance that hes not coming at all. So choose carefully depending on what you want to say. Its advisable to use "whether" when you have two possibilities even when the meaning wouldn't change if you use "if". Use IF only when you really need to use if to show a condition...for example Let me know if you’ll be coming Let me know whether you’ll be coming The first sentence is conditional. Call me ONLY if you are coming. The second sentence is not conditional. DEFINITELY Call me IN ANY CASE to tell me your plans. So to sum up, use "whether" when you have two distinct choices or mean "regardless of whether," and use "if" for conditional sentences.

    No, on the contrary :=) A glib talker is one who speaks smoothly and fluently, perhaps even to the point of being insincere. A person may also give a "glib" answer, one which lacks substance. For example, "the record producer was so glib that the pop group signed the contract without even reading it". (speak smoothly) Or The politician was very glib about the goals he would achieve (lacking substance)

    well, I'd say you should look at your abilities and try and match them to the skills you might need in the respective jobs. Engineers need to be very good at maths and science, so generally a very analytical and logical brain. Managers also need to be able to think very laterally but also be able to work effectively in a team, so they need to have very good interpersonal skills. I work in management and really enjoy getting the best out of people and helping to make a difference to my organisation as part of a team. I studied Accounting at university so it was a natural progression into business. I would say that some of the best managers I know trained originally as engineers! So definitely keep your options open. You can still go into management even if you do Engineering, indeed many companies really value this kind of analytical background. My advice to you really is go for what you enjoy learning. Both professions have tremendous career prospects so you can become successful in either. What will make the most amount of difference is getting a good degree from a good institution. Hope that's helped, if you need any advice then drop me a line. Good luck :=)

    Hey! I think racism exists because of ignorance. People dont question why they feel that they're superior to someone else. When I was growing up in England I was faced with a lot of racism in my school. I spent a lot of time just hating those people. Then I realised that the main reason was just due to parents telling those kids that asians were inferior. In the 60s and 70s a lot of asians arrived in England and changed the landscape completely. Maybe people were afraid, afraid of something they didnt know. Communities didnt integrate, leading to divisions and prejudice on both sides that carried on I became friends with some of those bullies much later on and thats what I learnt. The more I became friends with them the more they changed their viewpoints and the barriers came down. So Education and integration or the lack of it, are to blame in my experience
