- Day 138/365 Today I cooked chebureks (pasties). They are pasties with meat. The last time we cooked this was a year ago. I don't know how we did it, but we ate all of these😅. We were so full.😂 We had them for lunch. It's dinner time now, but we still aren't hungry. We walked to the park, the weather was very good. I researched and prepared some music theory materials for teaching my pupils. I'm going to continue it tomorrow. It's raining outside now. We're drinking tea and having a talk with my husband. (By 'we' do you mean there are several talking with your husband? Otherwise say, "I am drinking tea..." Have a good time!0 votedMay 18, 20211
- My friend is such a mess. If anybody raises a voice at her, she is ready to cry. Get lost. I’m tired of your fishy tales. ("fishy tales" is correct, but not really said anymore, an old expression. You could instead say, "your half truths", "your lies" or in very casual, "your BS" -- BS means bullshit which is a bit vulgar.) He always eats his heart out if he couldn’t do something for the first time. (Also correct but dated. Could say, "He is really bothered if...") Why aren’t you listening to me, I wish you all the best. - Ok, point taken. Let’s change the subject. It’s not what it looks like, I’m just doing my homework.0 votedMay 13, 20210
- I used to work as a volunteer in AFS (American Field Service). We worked with exchange students who were living in Argentina and help them with the culture, the problems they could face, the culture shock, and how to adapt to the culture. Also, we helped the host families, we talked with them about communication, and that sort of things that are very important in a relationship with an exchange student. Every exchange student had a volunteer tutor, I used to be the tutor of 3 students from Norway, Italy and France. Please, correct me0 votedMay 13, 20210
- Day 133/365 Hi guys, let's talk today about people who can influence our life. I think all of us during our life has someone whose message or words have a major influence on us( is very important to us). I couldn't say that I know a lot about the Bible, but there's one good phrase : "Don't build the idol by yourself'. What this person( tutor)talks about to us, or directly to you is so strong sometimes that we can lose ourselves. We give up... We don't have our own meaning. We depend on this person. We don't feel confident, although we deserve it! I just want to say. Only YOU can understand and know your own power. We need to try to be independent of other people's meaning. Because most time when they find out it, they use it against you. Certainly, there are good tutors too. And I believe that our world has enough kinds of people, however we should be more careful especially nowadays... P. S. I call this person a tutor ,but I don't mean tutors from itaki. It's a common name.0 votedMay 13, 20211
- 1. But official closure of the United Arab State project caused a change of focus towards the USSR, as the only power in the world capable of providing effective assistance to Yemen in their existence as a nation state, as the USSR could provide the necessary statehood resources/set of competencies needed for the PDYR to function independently. Or “...nation state. The USSR could...” [which one is better?] Both are correct but the sentence is getting to be a run-on sentence. I would use "...nation state. The USSR..." 2. In 1986 the YAR (Yemen Arab Republic) labour resources constituted (of) 1.6 million people, including Yemen immigrant workers. [do I really need ‘of’ there?] No, better without. 3. In the PDRY (People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen) the economically active population in 1988 consisted of 435,000 people, of which 11.7% were jobless, 52% of the economically active population worked in agriculture, 14% - in manufacturing and 21% - in the services sector. 4. In 1990 in the United Yemen more than 61% of the population worked in agriculture, about 22% - in the services sector, and 17% - in manufacturing. 5. Yemen is one of the poorest Arab countries. The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) per capita in 2009 was $2,500 (among Arab countries only Sudan and Mauritania have less and overall it is the 173th place in the world).0 votedMay 10, 20211
