    A run-off-road collision is a type of single-vehicle collision that occurs when a vehicle leaves the roadway. Contributing factors often include loss of control or mis-judging a curve, or attempting to avoid colliding with another road user or an animal. It literally means "They forced me to drive my car off the road/to crash"

    Pronounced like the "r" in "run", but it is rolled. (Equivalent to the english letter "r"). Searching "Russian rolled r" on google or youtube will show you many examples.

    My old work.

    My boss was American. When I needed to ask or say something, I had to do it through an interpreter or search for suitable words in a dictionary. Sometimes it came out as gibberish, which was funny.

    Batter out is a sports phrase that means the batter (person batting the ball) is out (as per the rules of the game) It's also used rarely in American slang to mean you're out in any situation.

    Depends on context. If you're done something stupid or weird somebody may say "I wonder about you sometimes..." which means, sometimes I wonder what is going on with you/why you do weird things/what's wrong with you. Said on it's own, it might mean somebody misses you or thinks about you often, e.g. "I wonder sometimes how you're doing or where you've been"

    Could you help me with this entry? Many thanks in advance

    I hope this letter finds you and yours in good spirits and good health.
    I woke up early today as I had to go to work. It was still dark and cold in the room. I woke up my daughter in order to take her to kindergarten. I had muesli for my breakfast and then I went to work by bus. The bus was full as usual.
    Today after lessons the head teacher held a meeeting. All these meetings are so boring because they only speak about statistics.
    In the evening I must go to a bank as I want to send some money to my relatives who live in Ukraine,
    For dinner I am going to boil some spaghetti. Since my husband left me I can economize by not buying tomatoes or cucumbers.
    That's all my boring news
    Take care and keep in touch

     

    The English in this entry was to a very high standard and everything made complete sense. Your news isn't boring! Good job.
