I'm Geoff, originally from Philadelphia in the USA. I work at a language center, teaching English to international students. I've been in the field for about five years now. I have an MA in teaching English as a second language and a BA in Italian. I studied Italian in Perugia for about nine months and reached level C2 in 2009, but I try to keep up with it as best as I can back in the States. I'm looking for help learning Mandarin (preferably from Taiwan). My wife is half Taiwanese and I like the differences the language has from English and romance languages. Check out my site: https://www.andersongeoff.com/ * Ciao! Sono Geoff da Filadelfia negli Stati Uniti. Mi sono laureato in inglese e italiano; ho studiato all'universita' per stranieri per 9 mesi nel 2009. Resto capace nell'uso della lingua (di solito, leggo le notizie e ascolto la radio), ma non ci sono tanti italiani da noi, quindi, e' piu difficile trovare delle persone con cui posso parlare. Ora, mi trovo in una scuola dove insegno inglese agli stranieri. Faccio questo mestiere da quasi 5 anni; ho avuto studenti di quasi tutti i continenti e di tutte le eta'. I miei corsi variano dalla scrittura alla pronuncia (e, se ti interessa, anche la poesia! vai al mio sito: https://www.andersongeoff.com/).

Insegnare ad un altro insegnante potrebbe sembrare una bella sfida, ma con Geoff non avrei potuto trovare studente migliore. Molto spesso sono io che imparo da te!!!

    Please make it sound more logical. Programs like Advanced SystemCare Free, Auslogics BoostSpeed, Glary Utilities, and Wise 365 aren't beneficial; they claim to be computer cleaning tools, but in reality they are actually viruses. As such, consulting an IT expert is wise. Reg Organizer, which can replace CCleaner in countries where it's forbidden, offers features that are not found in other programs, and is a safer and more legitimate alternative. Likewise, another safer alternative is to clean your computer manually. It's also important not to blindly trust programs provided on the internet. For speeding up computers, you can press the Windows + R keys simultaneously on the Windows logo, and a small command window will open on the lower left. After typing "%temp%" (temporary operating system), press enter or click "ok" on the left. In the window that opens, simultaneously press ctrl + A to select all the accumulated junk and delete it with shift + delete. Then you can select and delete the temporary files in that folder by typing "temp" without quotes. If you do this every week, it will be beneficial for your computer and will help maintain optimal performance. Keeping the desktop organized, as well as setting a simple picture as the background, has tremendous benefits. When the desktop is messy, it decreases computer speed by placing unnecessary strain on the operating system (hard drive) and takes time to access the programs we have opened. Additionally, constantly changing the background picture can cause the hard drive to spin rapidly, which slows the computer down. While Windows has a "refresh" feature, it is not an optimizer; rather, it is for operating system updates.

    Written Exercise 257 - REBEL BOYS LEFT HOME WITH FEELING WRONGED Today, I read some online articles. It was a coincidence that two of them were about boys leaving home. The first one was about a teenager going to a reunion with his family in Foshan city, where his mother worked. He intended to use a bike share to go back home after. He was a left-behind child who had previously lived in Jiangxi, China. He had lived with his mother since the last Chinese New Year. Since then, he had been a second hand, helping with his mother's work. On August 14th, he was rebuked by his mother because she was unhappy with the work that the boy had done. So, the 15-year-old boy rode a bike home. The mother called the police once she noticed that her son was missing. The teenager had ridden more than 150km when the police found him. The other one involved a couple of parents who urged their sons to do homework before going to work. Through an online security camera in their house, however, the parents found that the boys had been playing with their phones for a while. Then, the mother called the oldest son and blamed him. After that, the 12-year-old boy felt wronged and left home with his 10-year-old younger brother, leaving a note which said, "Mom, although you love us, it was your fault that we left! Bye! Don't miss us! We may be back!” Fortunately, the police finally found them around a pavilion around midnight. Some Chinese netizens commented that nowadays, rebel children like to take revenge on their parents by running away. Did you ever run away when you were young?

    Well, I love travel and I think that my best travel experience *was* when I was a little kid and I *met* my best friends . Also, just a quick note that a lot of people learning English mispronounce the schwa vowel, like in "love" and "was". Here's some more info on the sound:https://youtu.be/gWxixqUC064

    my recommendation: We can improve our quality of sleep by not eating anything after 6pm. So, we need to eat beforehand. Also, before sleeping, we need do to some yoga and listen to meditative music.

    You recently traveled on a train which arrived very late, and then you faced many problems. Write a letter to the owner of the company. In your letter, you should tell: – where you were going – what problems you faced – what action you would like the owner to take Dear Sir or Madam, As a frequent rail traveler, I feel that I have a fair understanding of the problems one might encounter when traveling by train. But I recently traveled on a train from Tianjin to Beijing which arrived very late. Then I faced many problems: there was no subway and bus, and taxi service was also busy because many people were stucked in the railway station. I had to stay in the station for the whole night. I read from your official website that if the train was over one hour late, compensation can be paid into our bank account. My card account number is xxxxxxx. Yours faithfully, X
