- Hi Jordana, 1) "AT&T does mobile, TV and internet." - while I have no grammatical reasons for saying so, as a native speaker I would use "provides" or something similar, rather than "does". We would be a little more precise. ;) I would, however, say "CNN doesn't do a hard-hitting reporting", but the "a" needs to be taken out for it to make sense: "CNN doesn't do hard-hitting reporting". 2)"Do you say ceramic tile floor, ceramic tile, or ceramic flooring or ceramic floor?" I would say "ceramic tile flooring", since "flooring" is the general term used when talking about floor materials. ;) "We are getting a new ceramic tile floor/ceramic floor" or "We are getting a new ceramic tile floor/ceramic floor laid"? Both would work, you'd just need the correct term - "We are getting new ceramic tile flooring" or "We are getting new ceramic tile flooring laid". 3) In this case, I would say that "drawing a red line in the sand" means that he states the limits of what he will accept, and if the limits are crossed, it will happen again. What they wrote doesn't quite make sense, I think that both of your suggestions are correct. I hope this helps, all my grammar knowledge comes from German so I have just considered what I myself would say!0 votedApril 8, 20170
Hi Maureen,
I'd recommend reading the Narnia series by C.S. Lewis, if you haven't already. They're short, and from memory there isn't too much wacky vocabulary. Plus, you get the benefit of feeling good for finishing a book in English pretty quickly! I can't recommend any British films off the top of my head, but I'd say Disney movies are also good. The BBC's "Sherlock" might be worth a shot, too - British accents everywhere, and I've managed it in German.
You've probably already read/watched all this, though. :P Good luck with your English!

0 votedApril 4, 20170- Hallo Leute~ Hallo, ich bin die Rielle. Ich lerne Deutsch seit fünf Jahren, aber noch ganz viel zu lernen. Ich studiere auch Deutsch als Sprache auf der Uni, und liebe es. ♥✨ Ich will Deutschland nochmal besuchen, aber wahrscheinlich nur in ein Paar Jahren. Was noch? Eine Freundin hat mir gesagt, das ich klinge wie eine Holländerin, wenn ich auf deutsch spreche. Das finde ich voll lustig, weil die Familie meines Vaters niederländisch ist. Bis später, Rielle ❀April 4, 201752
Hi Lin,
I have only just started learning Chinese at university this year, and our teacher gave us the opportunity to choose if we wanted a Chinese name or not. I opted in because it made learning Chinese a little more real. I wouldn't say you'd have to take on an English (or any other) name if you didn't want to, but it does make it easier to connect with that culture, and for people to remember your name!
