Haha! You made me laugh with your 'unique' questions today ;) But as I said, lots of questions is the best way to learn so you have to keep asking...don't be shy! You have a brilliant week too!

Today we talked about ethics, ebola and politics. I set some homework and we did reading, writing and speaking/listening exercises. Over all, it was a lot of fun.

    对不对? <<double check - Mandarin

    Guys, could you give a double check, please?


    孔子学院的事一之, 最特别的是我吧茶礼演出给刘延东副总理. 她在巴西来了因为她看奥运会开幕式了. 8月3日刘延东副总理访问圣保罗州立孔子学院。真难忘!

    <o:p>

    Unique word - Question
    Guys, hello!

    Reading some instructions, I faced the following statement: "You must use a unique email for all recommenders". How should I interpret this sentence?

    Option (A): each recommenders must use its own e-mail address.
    Option (B): all recommenders must use the same e-mail address.

    I searched for the meaning of the word unique (according to Cambridge dictionary it means "being the only existing one of its type or, more generally, unusual, or special in some way"), however, because of the second part (for all recommenders), I was in doubt about how to interpret this sentence.

    Thanks in advance :)

    What does "self-handicapper" mean?

    Hi guys,

    I was reading a text about procrastination when I came across this word: "self-handicappers".

    What does this word exactly mean?

    The phrase was: "Many studies suggest that procrastinators are self-handicappers".


    Many thanks in advance :)

    Replaced BY X Replaced WITH Hi guys! Is there any tip that shows me when I should use "replace by/with"? I tought the correct preposition was BY, however, I have just read a text on BBC and they used "replaced with". Last week I wrote a little text and used "replaced by". Is it wrong? The sentence was: "On 18st December of the same year Mister Levi was replaced with Mister Nelson Barbosa" Many thanks in advance :) Karine.
