Hi everyone, My name is Shelby and I'm a certified EFL teacher. I love teaching English, traveling, and learning new languages and cultures. I've studied Spanish and Hebrew and would love to be fluent in both! I also want to travel and teach English in addition to teaching on italki. I'm looking for new students who would either like to practice conversation or writing skills. Hope to hear from you soon! A note about attendance policy: Please try to let me know before the beginning of a lesson if you cannot attend or will be late. Once the session starts, I will only wait ten minutes. If you do not show up in the first ten minutes of the lesson, this is not my fault. I will not reschedule at that point.

    You'll use between when comparing two things, just like you did in your question. Use among when you have three or more things. Examples: I can't decide between pie or cake. We split the bill among the four of us.

    Normally, you "connect with" a person or an idea. For example, " I really connected with Bob last night at dinner," or "I connected what she was saying about global warming." It usually means you have something in common. "Connect to" refers more to things like, "I connected to the wifi".

    Normally, you would not say it that way. I think a better way to describe that would be to say, "He has his back turned"

    Technically, you don't need either. The simplest way to say this would be: I will be paying for the plane ticket(s). You can also say: I will be paying the cost of the plane ticket(s). This, however, would not be heard so much in everyday speech. I would stick to the first example. Hope this helps. :)

    Do I like winter?

    Today I thought about winter and decided to write the pros and cons of this season!

    Pros: First, *the* nature is very beautiful *in* season (although I may say so about every time of the year)
    Second, I can go skiing, skating, make a snowman and *throw* snowballs. Its very cool.

    Cons:First, it is early *in the season and* already very dark.
    Second, sometimes it is very cold and snowy.
    Third, *I* need to wear a lot of warm clothes.
    Fo*u*rth,it is so *difficult* to get up early in the morning.

    What can I say? I've *written* more cons. But I want to have winter, maybe I would like the winter that lasts a month and isn't very cold)))

    Part 1 of writing (FCE test) - answer to question (college visit)

    Dear Micheal Slater,

    Our group waits for our future travel. We are really interested *in* learning English because it looks *like* English will take *a* significant place in our li*v*es. Many of us are going to be researchers and spend a lot of time *increasing the* level of world science. It is necessary to speak English well for such *a*goal.

    We considered details of accomodation and made *the* conclusion to live with English-speaking families. We should exclude using our native language if we really are going to get good English skills.

    Everyone in our group likes to travel, thus it'd be interesting to visit famous places of your city *in order* to *gain* knowledge about history of it. And if it is possible to make some open area classes (in the forest maybe) it'd be wonderful. Could you tell something about *the* weather in September? Which clothes should we prepare for our trip?

    Sincerely yours,
    Vsevolod

    Yes, you're on the right track. I would say, "I think out loud sometimes about some topics related to the idioms I am reading from my notebook."
