    Joysi’s practice (9) Day 7 I want to be a dancer, this is my dream job. I’m also interested in singing and listening to music. I know not every dream comes true so, from now on, I will practice dancing everyday, work hard in classes, see more videos from outstanding dancers and learn from them. The most important thing is to keep the passion of dancing. I think my dream job is full of joy.

    In mandarin how does the english notion of "and" work in this type of phrase. I apologize as I don't know any characters, yet, so will attempt to express some mandarin with pinyin. In english I might say: Shall we go to the restaurant and have a meal? In mandarin, I might say: Wǒmen yīqǐ qù fàndiàn ba or Wǒmen yīqǐ chī wǎnfàn ba is there a standard form to connect these like "and"? Or can I simply say something like: Wǒmen yīqǐ qù fàndiàn chī wǎnfàn ba

    Yes essentially the same. Both "out" and "aren't running" imply they may be broken. "Off" doesn't specify

    You wouldn't just say "happy for you", you would form a normal sentence "I am happy for you". "good for you" is a phrase that can be said by itself. it can be used both: genuinely sarcastically - for example to applaud without being genuine when somebody is boasting

    Might be easier to use the 'notebook' feature for this. I would write it as: "There are a lot of good teachers on this website, so choosing the most suitable teacher and then taking their lessons is easy."

    My guess is it's referring to an editor loving a story because it would have 'romantic appeal' for women, but saying it in a slightly vulgar way referring to its impact on their genitals.

    I agree it could be some specific movie industry slang, it doesn't immediately make any sense to me either, even after reading the article. MAYBE it's referring to a 'new franchise' having a large scale potential, but no 'point men' as in no star actors. But that is just a guess. I would never use this phrase.

    You could use the same pattern "fellow gym goers", but for each there are usually more specific words: fellow students - classmates fellow workers - colleagues fellow gym goers: I do not think there is a formal word for this relationship, however you often hear people say "my gym buddy" or "my workout buddy" to show that they are your partner in that activity.

    It sounds like the context is 'speaking to a potential customer or client'. Or this is just being used as an analogy. "Another business card for the drawer" is literal. It is referring to the fact that, if you only have small talk, it will not be memorable and the only thing either of you will get out of that is another business card (which you will likely have exchanged, in the business world). People receive many business cards from forgettable people, and they go in a drawer and are never used. It is important that you make an impression if you want your card to have meaning, and perhaps lead to something meaningful. (like a future business relationship)
