New words/phrasal verbs
Today I've learned a few words so I would like to come up with some sentences and know weather they are correct or not.
1) (leave out) : we need to clean the fridge, let's leave out every thing that is past dated.This one should probably say "take out" instead of "leave out." Here's an example with leave out:
When you through away some food after cleaning the fridge, make sure you leave out the stuff that's not expired yet.
2) (rub off): I got some tomato sauce on my white jeans, I tried to rub it off but it was difficult.
Great!
3) (walk through): Please walk me through the charts.
Great!
4) (daunting): walking alone on the street late at night can be quite daunting.
This one is technically correct, and it conveys the meaning perfectly fine, but it would come off as slightly awkward. "Daunting" usually refers to tasks that are difficult. While walking at night might be scary, it is not usually incredibly difficult.Thanks!
You're welcome!

In otherwords, people might have often said, "the planet, Earth" just like they would have said "the planet, Venus," and the comma eventually was dropped because the expression became so common.0 votedMay 18, 20150

a career opportunity
Today, I received a phone from a headhunter. We communicated about an opportunity with Nesteer in Suzhou. The position is RMA quality engineer. In fact, I don't know what RMA is: I just know that it relates to part failure. I like the job, but the salary is not satisfactory, so I need to think about it. Suzhou is a beautiful city, and I like it. And there are many beautiful girls and fine food. I'm considering the great offer.

Hi, my name is Moneer. I am from Libya, and I am looking forward to find new friends so we can practice together and improve our skills in English.
I have been studying in a private English language school for four levels( beginner, elementary, pre_intermediate, intermediate) which was a program from the NOC (National Oil Corporation) to develop young people to put them in the oil industry.0 votedMay 18, 20150Summary: Jamie Oliver's Address
Yesterday I watched the Ted video. This talk featured Jamie Oliver who addressed “Teach every child about food”. How to choose food? What kinds of food we should eat? If people don't care about that, they will become overweight or obese. Diet-related disease is the biggest killer throughout the world. Lots of people have massive problems with obesity and bad health. We need a food revolution.
Jamie had some examples about people who were obese and died of obesity. He introduced most of the food as largely being processed and full of all sorts of additives, extra ingredients: it's not largely local and largely fresh now. Since they are ate everyday whether you are at home or at school, it’s too much sugar and it's causing obesity.
Jamie addressed that all this bad news could be preventable. You're clever if you eat well and live longer. Whatever schools or supermarkets or the big brands make, they should teach people food education. We also need to get the government to work with all of the fast food purveyors and the restaurant industry to get rid of the extreme amounts of fat, sugar and extra ingredients. At the same time, every family should teach their children how to cook 10 recipes that will save their life. Every one of your individual efforts makes a difference, and beautiful things will happen around the world.
I must say we don’t have this kind of problem about obesity. We rarely see very obese person in China. I think that is because most people cook at home and we always emphasize meat and vegetables are both important. Every dish includes fifty percent of vegetables and bean products, thirty percent of meats and the rest of rice or noodles. And most adults seldom eat cakes or ice creams: the kinds of sugar food that could be causing obesity.Nevertheless, I agree with Jamie’s theory: we should learn and keep a healthy diet, it will help us a lot. I also dislike large amounts of additives or extra ingriedients, it seems attractive in food but is unhealthy. Fresh and local food is good choice.0 votedMay 17, 20151
