    I've found it a bit harder than French, but easier than the year of German I tried. There are alot of 'Englishy' things about it, especially if you're familiar with Shakespearean English. Formal is different than informal and spoken.

    Hilary is saying she wants Trump to not say what his own opinion or speculation is, she wants him only to repeat what his staff that are experts in their field say.

    @Mehdi : No, I'm sorry I don't have time to do any more language exchanges. If at some point I do have some spare time, I'll message you.

    "could" is correct. The reason is because of the word "built". It shows that we are talking about an event in the past, and that the event was certain. "might" always represents uncertainty. "could" sometimes represents uncertainty, but also is the past tense of "can".

    Sadly, there aren't any anymore. My favorite talk show personality was Tom Snyder. He used to tell little anecdotes and then interview a very wide range of interesting guests on his show in the 1970's called "Tomorrow", and then in the 1990's he had a show "The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder". You can find episodes on YouTube. (Mr. Snyder has a standard American midwest accent) Even though its an older program, you can learn a lot about American culture from it. Some of my favorite guests were Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury, Ayn Rand John Lydon and Alfred Hitchcock https://youtu.be/xiwAV6adyVU

    The Boy- A Short Story.

    The boy sat down. He looked depressed. He wanted to play with his friends but there was no chance. He thought that he was weird and no one liked him anymore. He used to play with them until someone told the boys that this kid is a curse. Everyone believed the story of the poor boy. He tried to explain to them that what heppened was an accident, but no one believed his story. Two months ago, the boys were playing happily in the yard when the boy kicked their ball on his friend chest and he fell down immediately. Luckily, the boy was fine. But, the boy kicked the ball and broke his friend's nose. They said this time you did it on purpose, no chance to lie. The boy was extremely sad. The boys changed their playing place every time he showed up. The boy sat alone far away from the boys to watch them play<s>*</s>. The phone rang at the boy's house, it was one of his friends who believed all what happned was accidental*. The boy was very happy to hear that but the boy told him that he could not help him and gave him a plan to comeback. He appeared in the yard with a banner written on it "who of you did not make mistakes?“. I do have a strong foot and this is a gift. Everyone was reading the writing. Some of them felt sorry for the kid and looked immediately to the boy ( > how told the that the boy was a hex.< this doesn't make sense). They smiled and let the boy play* with them and made him their striker because he had a strong foot.

    I know the warnings at the beginning of films are intense. Filmmakers are worried about 'pirating' videos ( thats when people use DVD burners to make 1000s of copies and sell them way below the normal price ), they are not worried about what you keep in your home.

    First of all, morality and the law are 2 separate things. During the Cold War the USSR used to be able to take whatever they wanted ( "steal" ) from American writers , films, etc, because there was no trade agreement with the US. Sometimes what Russia did was morally wrong because they were blatantly ripping of other artists intellectual property. Other times there was really no alternative, because they couldn't pay or acknowledge the artist even if they wanted to. ANSWER: I don't know what the agreement is between the US and Egypt. Here in the US ( its the same for the UK and Canada) recording or copying music and films, etc., for your own personal use is absolutely morally ok, since you are not harming the artist or their work or causing them to lose money. It is also legal to record things for personal use ( just do NOT post it on YouTube or a torrent site, or give it away to people for example).
