- Scenario 2:——Mr. Cook ( How I should address the cook? -<em> Don't address the cook by name or ask for their name and use it. Mr. Cook is unnatural)</em>, hello, can you tell me a little bit about the process of making beef noodles?——Yes. It’s<s> started by mixing the dough</s>. The first step it to mix the dough <s>This step is</s> and it's <s>done</s> mixed in that dough mixer. Pour a bag of flour into the machine and it will slowly get churned <s>churn it</s> up. Finally, pull the lid up. That's the process of mixing the dough. Then, let the kneaded noodles wake up (if you mean that you wait a few minutes before working with the noodles we use the phrase "rest" - "Then, let the kneaded noodles rest."), that's how it works. Now, you can start pounding and kneading with your hands. When the dough is smooth, the noodles will be chewy and the beef noodles will taste good, just like vermicelli.——<s>Mr. Cook</s>, Lanzhou beef noodles taste different from beef noodles in other cities, what makes <s>it</s> them different?——The soil and the water. And each beef noodle<s>s</s> shop has its own ingredients for <s>that the </s>their noodles, and that also makes it different. The key is the soil and the water, and the climate.——Because Lanzhou is near the Yellow River.——Yes, the mother river, the water of the mother river. There are some points we have to emphasize about the beef noodles: first, clarity; Second, white; third, red; and four<em>th </em>green. Clarity means the soup has to be clear; White means chewy noodles; then the green <s>one</s> is garlic and coriander; the red <s>one</s> is the chili oil, and the yellow <s>one</s> is the layer of butter floating on top.Narrator王小明Wang Xiaoming （should it be Xiaoming Wang？Xiaoming is first name，Wang is surname - <em>When using a Chinese name the practice is to use the Chinese custom of last name first, then first name.

- This sounds really interesting! I'd love a link to your documentary when you're finished.Scenario 1:The Yellow River gave birth to us, we<s> grow</s> grew up <s>eating </s> drinking its water and<em> so we </em>have a deep affection for it.The Yellow River is poetic in your eyes, isn't it?Yeah, I think <s>she's</s> it's (you have used it everywhere else so be consistent) very poetic. I don't think <s>she's</s> it's that <s>surging</s> turbulent, but rather <s>quite</s> pretty quiet, and it's nice to<s> hear the sound </s>listen to. I wanted to paint the Yellow River in a… poetic way. So that's why I tried to paint it in a kind of pointillist brushstroke way. That's the thing I want to do. (I'm confused about why you're using present simple here. What does the speaker want to do? Pain the river? The sentences before are all in past tense so we assume the painting is finished. Maybe the sentence should be, "That's what I wanted to do.")0 votedJune 9, 20200
100 DAYS CHALLENGE #4
We watched Split yesterday. It's M. Night Shyamalan's movie about a man with 23 personalities living in his mind. This thing condition is called multiple personalities disorder or dissociative identity disorder. I guess the movie is based on the case of Billy Milligan who had this disorder which was widely covered by the media.
I think Split was the best movie of Shyamalan's trilogy. It keeps up the suspense till the very end and you don't have any idea how the story will end. James McAvoy's acting was great! The personalities that live in his character's mind all behave differently and dress differently. Of course, the simplest way to know who 'took control of the light' is just to look at the outfit. But the thing that makes his acting so good is that you can actually tell the difference between the personalities even if they don't have time to change their clothes. It's about body language, mimics gestures, and other small details.
I watched the movie in Russian but I think I do have to watch it again in English just to find out how James McAvoy changes the manner those personalities speak behave in. I'm pretty sure the dubbing didn't reflect it 100%.0 votedApril 9, 20191Sentences

If you use the word "any" you would also want to use the plural "programmes" to maintain consistency.
