"vice versa" requires that there are two items in the sentence that you can swap to reverse the meaning, but "it is the other way around" does not. For example: "science must be at the service of man, and not vice versa". This is a sentence where it makes sense to use "vice versa" because there are two main items that can be swapped. BUT, the sentence could also be written as: "science must be at the service of man, and not the other way around", which means the exact same thing. "It is the other way around" could also mean something is turned around the opposite way. For example: "Is the battery in the right way?" "No, it is the other way around."0 votedOctober 13, 20151
The Summer Olympic Games in Japan
In 2020, the Summer Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo, but the Japanese Olympic committee has had trouble from the start. The committee organized a competition to select an emblem for the Olympics and an emblem that was designed by a Japanese designer was chosen. I'm not familiar with the design industry, but he seems to be famous and a talented person. A friend of mine who works at a design office in Berlin knows him. It was fine up to that point, but a suspicion arose that he plagiarized the design from an the emblem of a theater in Bergy (did you mean to type Bergy? I think the place you meant is Liège). Many people, especially online, tried verifying the truth, concluded that he did, and accused him of plagiarism. Although he insisted his innocence, he finally withdrew his emblem by himself to protect his family against slandering from radical people. I'm not sure whether or not he copied the emblem, but in my opinion, the simpler the design is, the more it will be similar to others. In any case, I hope everything goes well.
Very impressive, keep up the good work!
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

My favourite job is being a teacher, because I like teaching. Teachers know a lot of things, but they have to study many years. They can teach in the at a primary school (1), or in at a high school, or at university. Students do not usually like teachers, but some of them become teachers when they grow up. I'm going to study a lot to be an art teacher!
(1) This is what we call the school you go to before high school in Australia, I'm not sure if it's the same there.
Very good, keep up the good work!
Teaching seems like a great job, good luck and I hope you succeed!

-Parking
We placed the parking lot close to the entrance but not the in front of it, for the safety perspective. Parents and children can walk or push the strollers through the alley to the entrance door (door isn't necessary here, it's implied) safely. The closest ones parking spots are for people with disability disabilities.
-Backyard
Our backyard has 7 play based areas. A sandbox with a play house area, a veggie garden area, an animal farm area, a rest area, a concrete area, a trampoline area, and a playground area.
We divide the physical actively area side and emotion and social actively areas physical, emotional, and social activity areas side.
-Sandbox with a playhouse area
The sandbox is covered all up when it’s not in use (you could also use "not being used"). It’s fine and white color sand There's white, fine sand inside there. They can sit and do onlooker the play on the edge, which is made of soft sponge. Or they can just walk on there them as a balance bean beam. There are toys in on the shelf. They can choose and pick pick and choose ("pick and choose" is a common phrase you might hear, "choose and pick" probably means the same thing but it will sound out of place because it's not the normal form) the toys for manipulate playing with on in the sand.I hope this helped! Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

-Veggie garden area
There are small veggie plants in a garden bed made by of blocks. Cherry tomato, basil, and peas are growing in there. Children can give them water them (1) every day. And they can pick them and eat themselves them. (2)(1) "Give them water" is correct, but "water them" makes more sense because "water" is the verb that means "give them water" when gardening.
(2) You can say "them" after eat, and it will refer to the vegetables because that was the subject of the last sentence. Because there are two verbs, you can combine them with "and" so you don't have to put the subject of the sentence twice. I hope this makes sense, it's very hard to explain.
- Farm area
The farm is surrounded a fence made of a net. There are 3 rabbits in the a small cage and small fish in the a DIY mini pond (1). Which is There are fish in the a pot. I place feed for rabbits and fish on the a shelf, I also always put some bowls with the right amount of the feed on the (2) shelf. Also small brooms, plastic bags are here for cleaning their cage and the farm. Children can swipe rabbits’ feces the certain away from the area and teacher puts them in the back for trash (3).(1) Because the reader doesn't know about the small cage and the DIY mini pond before, "a" acts as sort of an introduction of them.
(2) Because the shelf has been introduced, "the" is good here.
(3) I wasn't quite sure what you meant in this sentence, does the correction make sense?
-Rest area
They can chill out on the wooden bench or on the grassy area in the nice shade. Also there is one a picnic table, so teacher can leave the bottles of water that children bring them from home here. They would see whole outside area for onlooker play. There are some flowers that children planted by seasons in front of it (do you mean they're ordered by season?).Very good descriptions, I can imagine the areas from reading them!
I hope this was helpful!
