Please explain these for me. After doing a few online-examination that teacher told me to do. I noticed there are questions I don't quite understand. 1. "Is there a bank where I can exchange FOR these pounds for dollars?" ("for" is blank and also is the answer.) which makes me confused. "Exchange for these pounds for dollars???????" is anything wrong with this. (notice that sometime the mistake is that the online-examination itself.) 2. "The landslide delayed the train's departure by a few hours." "By a few hours" is what I don't understand. Does it have the same meaning as "for a few hours"??

Pressure comes down. It's such a hard attempt trying to balance between school and your own life passion. I'm in 12th grade now, which is the last year of high school. So much memories to be remember, But till that time there are also so much to do. General certificate of secondary education (GCSE) is first to be said. Then university, which is college, is the after aim and will base on the score you get in the GCSE test. For that, school now is getting even more stressful and having time to spend on learning English and Japanese seems impossible. The last problem is the holiday, the teacher's day (November 12th), which I didn't attend any activities in my class for this such event. But for this year, being aware of my last year at school, I know is this my last chance so I stood up and take a place in the event for myself. It doesn't sounds like a problem because apparently it isn't. The true is that some how I got myself in two sides of the class. One is drama and the other is dance. While they decided to have both autonomously run, I , on the other side, being in the middle, are struggling to perform them as best as I can when , at the same time, trying to keep my grade up. Hopefully everything will go well for me, at least this time.

Which is the best way to read and comprehend what you've just read? I recently do a lot of reading tasks which consist of 7 paragraph for each. My problem is learning new words and I quickly forget it after I've looked it up. But the problem that frustrates me the most is the way to comprehend the passage. I always find myself in the middle of the passage and forget how I got there or it just left me with confusion about the connection in meaning between the title of the passage with the paragraph or between sentences itself. And sometime I even meet sentence that makes completely no sense to me such as sentence with too much commas. Then I just see myself do the task following by guessing or at least with little clues that I found. But I want much more and have the fundamentals to do the tasks or get the best out of what I read. So what should I do to overcome my problems?

Is this the right way to figure the meaning of this sentence? "これはわたしのコンピュタデス。” means that "This computer is mine". The first word is "this" then to the last word "computer" than to the middle word which is "mine" ==> "this computer is mine" So like that. about his sentence: "ミラさんIMCの社員です。” also means that "Miller is the employee of IMC company". Just like the first one "Miller" go first then "he's an employee" of a company named "IMC" ==> "Miller is the employee of IMC company" Is it right to figure in this type of grammar?

I nee advise for my study... (Edited: The title is supposed to be "need advise" :P) I'm 12th grade now. And of course, school is more important than ever because I'm about to graduate. It's just the first term but everyone is preparing hard. I, nontherless, much the same. In addition, I'm learning Japanese as well which is an additional subject beside my English. The problem is that when I learn Japanese I feel like I'm neglecting school subjects, but when I study other subject, I feel like I'm forgetting what I've learn. The fact that I'm had a examination for advanced students even put me under pressure more. Note that I want to be good at Japanese as much as English. So what should I do to ensure myself rather than to be fear of everything which discourage me the most.
