Profile
I am an English teacher from India. I have just started my professional career, about 2 years ago to be precise, and I would like to continue growing as a teacher in the years to come. I completed the Trinity CertTESOL course in January 2015 and from February 2015 till February '16 I taught IELTS students at the Cochin International Language Academy in Kerala. I have a bachelor's degree in English Literature from the University of Calcutta. I am working, at present, as an English language trainer in Bangalore. I absolutely love the English language and enjoy teaching it enormously. I feel teaching is amazing because not only am I helping learners and watching them grow on a daily basis, but I feel that I am growing with them, as a teacher and as a person.

    1. What is THE (talking about a specific day) day after Christmas called?

    2. What do the children leave for (no need for articles before names of people) Santa Claus to put present in. 

    3. What is put as (the here is not incorrect but it's not necessary unless you are talking about a specific part or item of the decoration) Christmas decoration.

    4. What is hung above (no need for article here because we are talking about all doorways, generalizing. When we generalize we don't use articles. For example - Tigers are ferocious animals, here I am talking about all tigers on planet Earth, so no need for articles) doorways?

    5. IS CORRECT.

    6. ...changes into A(same reason as why you used 'a' before 'very mean old man') charitable, elderly gentleman.

    Aging can be rolled back

    Everyone wants to stay young. In ancient times, lots of alchemists took efforts to invent (an)elixir(s). Nowadays, there're plenty of health products as well as skin care products which claim they are anti-aging. Humans never stop their dream of rejuvenation dream. However, no matter what we do, no one can escape wrinkles and poor memory when time comes.

    But there's hope, according to a study published on December 15, in Cell. Researchers partially reprogrammed mice DNA. Surprisingly, it not only improved the regeneration of the aged muscle cells but also prolonged the longevity of the mice by about 1/3. Importantly, unlike the other (premature?) mice, cardiovascular failures didn't occur in this experiment. In contrast, the heart structure and functions were improved.

    Although the mechanism behind this is not clear to us, it is still attractive as it brings the hope of slowing down aging.

    Thanks for reading my short essay. I look forward for your advice!

    Hindering someone's progress. Messing up their work or basically ruining their opportunities.

    I think it's a matter of distinguishing between the past continuous/progressive and the simple past tenses. We went bike riding together yesterday - An incomplete action in the past, basically means your action (bike riding) was interrupted by something. Example - We went bike riding yesterday but unfortunately it started raining. Past Progressive/Continuous. We rode a bike together yesterday - A completed action in the past, meaning that your action (rode a bike) was completed as planned without any interruptions. Past Simple. So, the former of the two tenses is USUALLY used when we want to talk about an action that was interrupted. HOWEVER there is no rule of any sort that prevents you from using them interchangeably to convey the same message. So, the answer to your question would be, yes, they practically mean the same thing.

    A rude thing while you are eating rice.

    In Japan, it's rude to place your chopsticks in the middle of your rice bowl, because it is usually done during funerals. This is placing the chopsticks in the middle of your rice bowl is regarded as/ considered to be rude (we can write "regarded as" but not "regarded to be". Similarly we can write "considered to be" and not "considered as." This is of course formal English, in everyday use of the language, it hardly makes any difference). Thank you for corrections in advance.


    Thank you for this little insight into Japanese culture.

    My plans for the next year

    This year has been good, I have achieved some of my goals and others I haven't done yet. In January I've(just use the simple past tense here because you're talking about a completed action that happened in the past) bought my first car, and after that I started to study English at an English school near from the university where I study. Every Saturday I go there and spend my morning studying and talking with my partners. For the(not really necessary, you can just start with "Next year.") next year, I hope to finish this course and then go to Europe to visit some countries. I have been dreaming about this moment all my life, and my main goal for the next year is to realize it.


    I hope you finish your course and live your dreams my friend! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!!

    Is there any mistake in this phrase?

    You'll always be my broken dream, and that's enough for me, I will never try again. You're free.


    A lot of the English language is contextual and based on the situation. Grammatically, this seems fine.


    Also, very sad.

    Mexican legend: La llorona

    La llorona is a Mexican legend. Mexicans and South Americans say that la llorona is an woman who drowned to her own childrens, because she found out that her husband had been with another girl. She walks along the banks of rivers crying for the death of her children.


    Nice, I love legends and folk lore. I have learnt something new from you today, thank you.

    When we do use it, we usually refer to our parent countries using a feminine pronoun such as "she" or "her." In case of other countries we just use IT. Unless it's like a very formal social documentary or a history lesson about the world, where it's fine to use "she" or "her" for other countries as well.
