Profile
I am a native English speaker who was born and raised in a seaside town on the south coast of England. Prior to my teaching career I spent many years working in hospitality and catering in a variety of roles. I graduated from the University of Portsmouth with a Bachelors in International Relations and Politics. Having suffered with itchy feet all my life I then left the UK to travel around the world. I began in France and Italy working for ex-pats and voluntary work. Although not initially part of my plan I started my English teaching career in Poland way back in 2007. After realising this was a good career move for me, I obtained my CELTA teaching certificate in Berlin, where I now live in the summer months. So far in my teaching career I have taught Academic English at a Chinese University, Business English in the suburbs of Moscow, and general English in over 10 satellite schools. When I am not teaching, I enjoy Chinese Embroidery, Photography and collecting stamps in my passport.

    I agree with Paul it does sound a little odd. Also.... historic as an adjective means a very important and memorable event in history. historical as an adjective can describe anything to do with history.

    Brisk means to do something quite quickly. We mainly use it to describe the way we walk. In the winter I go for a brisk walk because it's too cold to walk slowly. Agile and nimble means how flexible someone is when doing a physical activity, for example rock-climbing.

    Here we would use 'large' as you are referring to a quantity, the population of China.

    Hi, there

    Could you help me with a part of the acknowledgments for my thesis? Are there many grammatical mistakes?

    I am very grateful to the professor Dr. Pereira Leite, who with extreme competence, advised me in the process of development of this thesis, not only with his insights, but also with his incentives.
    A special thank you to my colleagues in the Department of Social Service for their support to and trust in the results of this work. study
    I would also like to thank my parents for their patience and the encouragement given to me to conclude this Master’s program
    In addition, I would like to thank Dr. George Lopes, coordinator of the São Paulo parole office, for having allowed me to visit the prison facilities...

    Thank you!

    2 Process and development similiar in meaning in this case.

    3 Thank you is not hyphenated.

    Your first example, I lived in Korea, is in the Past Simple tense. This tense is used to talk about something that has finished at some point in the past. Your second example, I used to live in Korea, is used to talk about a habit or something you did on a regular basis in the past but no longer do now.

    Ok , trying to keep it simple. Perception means how you see a particular situation or event. How you perceive something. Perspective is your opinion or point of view on a particular topic, situation or event. What do you think about something.

    This is used more in British English. This is a colloquial expression which means takes a seat. It is still said these days by mainly the older generations.

    This is Saturday, 24th December, 2016. I am very conscious  concerned about my wife. Her company will shift their system to another new company. She is worried about her new company environment. Her other colleagues also showed their consciousness   concerns after meeting with the new company Human Resources company.

    It is very common for the local companies to change their affiliated operation system to another system to cut down their costs without measuring the merits and demerits of it. I think, it is better to consult with their present company to come to a solution without switching to another company.

    I told my wife to consult with the other colleagues as well to the superiors of their main company about the experiences what they faced today. Hopefully they can make the company understand to change their decision. I hope it will work. I believe Allah helps those who are patient.
