It was great catching up and hearing about your recent success. As a reminder, the two corrections were 1) "to be/to out in nature" 2) "to go to the beach/go in the water" ("play in the water" is associated with children).

We had our final organic conversation before your big event and you were confident and comfortable as always. As a reminder, we corrected errors in the use of the simple past vs. the present perfect, the use of “expel” to mean “to put out” or “kick out”, the expression “climb the ladder” and the pronunciation of “statistician”.

Another good organic conversation, Vicky. During the chat we came upon the phrase “the buck stops with ____” (alternatively “the buck stops here”). We’ll continue with the organic conversation next time.

Congratulations on your recent success! Here are some things to note from today’s lesson: 1) “catch” (seize or get) vs. “catch up” (increase in speed, intensity, etc. to match someone else’s position) 2) “the nurse was going to go with them” = “the nurses were going together” (it’s not necessary to use “join” and “together” in the same phrase) 3) “I wasn’t in good shape” instead of “I wasn’t in a good shape”

    To be made + Ving? Hello everyone! I have a grammar question from an article on The New York Times: ....CVS saw that there were more benefits to be made handling prescription drugs than selling diapers. My questions are: 1. Why there is no "by" between "made" and "handling"? 2. Could I replace "to be made to handle" with "to be made handling" here? Thank you in advance!

    At "the" very moment vs At "that" very moment My american friend corrected me that: At "the" very moment is used in present tense sentence. At "that" very moment is used in past tense sentence. I am not sure if what he said is correct.... Could you help me to differentiate the usage of these two terms? Thank you in advance!

    Italian Surgeon I met a new friend today! Her name is Clara and she is an orthropedic surgeon from Italy. She just got an offer to become a fellowship in the biggest hospital in Chicago. According to Clara, the average salary of a surgeon can earn is the same as a medical resident can earn here in the US, so she is thinking about practicing here. But a big challenge to her is, she needs to take USMLE step 1,2 and 3 and then she also needs to do 5 year residency before she can practice as a real surgeon here. Clara said: " I have been practicing as a surgeon for almost 6 years and I don't feel like I want to study and take exams again." But in fact, Clara is one of the top surgeons in Italy and it is a big advantage for her, compared to other medical students. Hope Clara can figure out where does she want to live and practice!

    5/22/2015-Jason "Student talks, teacher listens" … the students just BE quiet all the time. (incorrect) … the students just ARE quiet all the time. (correct) … I'm going to freeze up. We are best buddies WITH each other. I applied TO several schools. It's double the price/cost of the students in the U.S. That's why I have less time to relax.

    A Middle Eastern Feast One of my fellow international students is from Saudi Arabia and she has her family here with her! Because we just finished my finals and are waiting for the upcoming clerkship, we have a short 2 week break from school. I remembered my classmate's mom is good at cooking and thus I asked her if it is possible to taste traditional middle eastern food. Luckily, she said yes! Another classmate and I were invited to her apartment and she presented a tray with coffee and a bowl of dates. "This is the highest quality coffee and dates from Saudi Arabia!" She said proudly. I tastes the coffee and it was totally different from the coffee I have had so far. I did not need to add sugar or milk into it and can still taste the slight sweetness. The dates were awesome! They were tender and sweet! The best snack to get when drinking coffee! Her mom brought a huge tin bowl and when she opened it, a fragrance swirled from the light yellow rice. A roasted chicken located in the middle of the rice and there were raisins scattered in between the rice. "This is my first time to see raisins to cook with rice!" I said impressively to her mom. Another Saudi Arabia classmates who lives in the same building brought her hand-made salad and it was really tasty, totally different from the American salad! What a wonderful day to enjoy such an authentic middle eastern meal and catch up with my classmates!
