No Regrets?

Today, I came home from school on the train and saw a girl who was just like my ex-girlfriend.  She was sitting there staring at the windows.  I recalled the days I spent with my girlfriend.  She is a good girl and she has a big heart. There were many factors that contributed to our breaking up.  Nevertheless, I love her deep in my heart.  I am a coward, though, because she gave me all she had but I could not give her a promise. Maybe she is still wating for me.

Your listening skills will improve as you get more practice with whatever language you're studying. I've posted this answer to similar questions, so maybe you'll find some of these suggestions helpful. There's lots of resources for learning and practicing English to be found through links on the pink stripe at the top of this webpage. You might try checking out "Find a Language Partner" or "Groups" or the English blackboard. Below I've listed some other tips that don't necessarily involve this site. 1. Practice speaking English, preferably with a native speaker, but any ways you can practice will help. Practicing on the phone is probably the hardest because you can't rely on hand gestures. 2. Record yourself speaking English. Maybe you can even do this on your cellphone. Then play it back and listen for anything you could pronounce more clearly. Also, if you record a sample, you can play it back months later to see how much you've improved. 3. Listen to songs in English. Especially if you know or want to learn the lyrics, this is a fun way to work on pronunciation and vocabulary. 4. You can also watch TV shows or movies in English. This option is especially easy if you find a TV series or type of movie you particularly like. 5. Listen to an audio book in English. This could potentially also give you something to talk about if you find English-speaking chatting partners. 6. Practice reading tongue twisters: http://www.uebersetzung.at/twister/en.htm 7. Play telephone with your friends: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Whisper (The game has another name which I learned about just now.) 8. Drill yourself as much as possible. You might find some computer software the best way to facilitate this drilling. If you want to use a computer, find software that incorporates speaking into a microphone. Some software will compare your voice to a native speaker and allow you to drill until you consistently reach a certain percentage match in the comparison.

"Given the investment our company will make in hiring and training you, can you give us a reason to hire you ?" could be rephrased as "Since our company will have to invest time and money to hire and train you, can you give us a reason to hire you?" They want to know why you think hiring you will be worth their initial investment of the time and money that it will take to hire you and give you a salary. In that sentence structure, "given" functions as a preposition that means "in view of" or "considering".

"Goal-driven" means that one is motivated by setting specific target objectives--that is, one is driven (motivated) by goals. If a person is like this, for example, he or she will work harder when there are deadlines to meet. So, it doesn't exactly mean "Do you have enough power or passion to meet the goal?" I would say the question means something like "Do goals provide you an extra incentive to work hard?"

Sometimes it helps to be proactive. Maybe you can find a language partner by following the link on the pink stripe at the top of the page.
