- It depends on what type of learner you are: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or a combination of those. I personally need a combination of all three to study efficiently. Visual: I need to see new information whether it's through pictures to help me remember certain things, reading over notes, or scanning through a book. Auditory: I like to record or videotape a teacher teaching and listening to it over and over later or I'll repeat things I need to memorize out loud to myself or someone I'm studying with. Kinesthetic: I like to write notes or flashcards to help with memorizing things. However, you basically also need to have a motivation so that it pushes you to focus. n_n0 votedAugust 8, 20100
- To phrase your question correctly... : Can sentence"I didn't have any trouble with it" be replaced by "I hadn't any ..." ?===> Can this sentence, "I didn't have have any trouble with it" be replaced by "I hadn't any..?" No, because "I hadn't any..." is supposed to be written as "I haven't had any trouble with it.." then it could replace "I didn't have any trouble with it." Although, I've heard native English speakers use "I hadn't any," which technically is incorrect. The difference is that "hadn't" is present perfect and "haven't" is past perfect. For example: Hadn't: Right when he arrived, she hadn't spoken a word. Haven't: ex : I haven't liked you since you stole my doughnuts. Hope that helps! Also, if other italki members think I'm wrong, feel free to correct me and maybe I'll learn something new. n_n0 votedAugust 8, 20100
- A list of useful Spanish slang words to know or use in Uruguay? Uruguayan food suggestions? I'm going to Montevideo, Uruguay next month, so I'd like to know some slang words used in this area. If you don't know the answer to the first question, no worries. Just throw in some native Uruguayan food suggestions I should try while I'm there. n_nJuly 19, 201040
- There could be a couple themes to the book, but I think the main theme is the conflict between the wilderness/wild and civilization/society. The entire book is about the development of how the dog adapts to his environment in order to survive. If you read Jack London's other works, which I have only read one or two, he focuses on nature a lot. Oh, and by the way, to add on to Isler's grammar correction... the reason why it is "written" instead of "writted" is because "writted" is not word.0 votedJune 24, 20100
- Aside from any grammar corrections, I personally think you could improve your argument. I tried not to add on to your points, because I would just be writing out my opinion and erasing your thoughts. Also, I cut out a couple sentences from your paragraph, because a.) It didn't not quite make sense to me b.) A couple of your sentences did not transition well, and it confused me on how that backs up your point. c.) It was unnecessary and you could write something better. It may just be me, so hopefully, someone else throws in their opinion on this. I'm sorry if my criticism is harsh. Hope that helps though. n_n0 votedJune 24, 20100
- Grammar corrections in your question: What you asked==> Could you corret this writting where they're awkward,wrong or should be changed better A better way to word your question. This is just one suggestion.==> Can you correct any awkwardness or errors in this paragraph? Can you show me a better way of writing it? ______________________________________________________ Now for the corrections in your paragraph... How the World Cup Affects People and Society (In your titles, usually in a essay or paper, you capitalize all the words except for articles (ex. and, or, the, &etc...).) Nowadays, no one would think the World Cup is just a sports competition, because it has brought a massive impact within people's very lives. First of all, it has caused the economies all over the world to be more active. Every World Cup season, the streets are inundated with World Cup products and tourists who have come to see and enjoy the World Cup. Moreover, the games are broadcasted globally with commercials of sponsoring companies, which promotes and benefits the host country greatly. Not only that, fans religiously keep up with the star players they admire by purchasing items for that particular team. Secondly, it has brought an atmosphere (or you could say "sense" or "ambiance") of peace regardless of their nationality, religion, or race. Apart from the results of the games, they have enjoyed themselves together. Getting to know about each other in good will and encouraging mutual understandings, the world is getting united as one.0 votedJune 24, 20100
- It's possible, yes, but I have close friends who are guys whom I am not romantically interested in or involved with. Just because a girl gets close to a guy does not mean they need to hook up sometime. I think part of making it stay within the boundaries of friendship is personally stopping yourself from even being tempted from going beyond friends (which Romulus commented above me...limiting ourselves.)0 votedJune 10, 20100
