Of course, Rey Valera had to be in the conversation in one way or another, haha. Maraming salamat David!

We talked about phone conversations. David was asked to "book" a room at a hotel, and at this point I think he would handle a real-life situation well. And he remembered my birthday, haha! Salamat!

    Hello there. "As" and "Like", when used to compare something to another thing are the same, and the comparison is known as a "simile". Here are some examples: Seeing you is LIKE a breath of fresh air. The child was crying AS loud AS thunder. Similarly, a metaphor can also be comparative but without "as" or "like". Using the same examples: You are a breath of fresh air to me. The child's cry is thunderous. Hope this helps!

    To follow up, an example of when using "some" would be okay would be something like, "Okay, I will try to block off some time for our outing".

    Hello there! The only change I would make to make it sound more natural would be to remove "some". I find it difficult to block off time for outings. Hope this helps!

    It depends on the context of the rest of the rest of the conversation. It can mean to literally talk about the depth of something, such as a hole in the ground. Or, what you're probably referring to is when someone is talking about their true feelings. For example, "My mother and I have never gotten along. We have argued with each other my entire life and we don't talk to each other very much. But I know DEEP DOWN that she loves me no matter what, because I am her son." Hope this helps!

    You can use "open-minded" to describe a conversation or someone: "I met my new professor yesterday. She seems very open-minded, so I'm looking forward to taking classes with her!" You can say "open mind" (no hyphen) like this: "I need you tell you something, and I know you're probably going to say 'no', but before you answer, please have an open mind about what I have to tell you." In this example, the speaker knows that the person they are speaking to already has an opinion or feelings about something but the speaker would like for the listener to be willing to consider and listen to what the speaker has to say. Hope this helps!

    In the first example, it means that the only thing that you could see (because his hair covered most of the headband) was the tubing. Another example would be if you closed the curtains over a window in the morning, the sunlight peeks through the curtains because even tho the rest of your view out of the window is blocked, you can still see the sunlight coming through. For the second example, the wires are physically poking out of the potatoes. As in, if you grabbed the potato with your hand, the wires would probably poke you because they are poking out of it. Another example would be if you saw a birds nest and you noticed the little baby birds heads POKE OUT of the top of the nest. You would see their little beaks sticking up. Hope this helps!

    Hello there! 1. To make it more natural sounding, you could say "The streets are as quiet today as they were yesterday" or "The streets are as quiet as they were yesterday" 2. This sounds good! Hope this helps!

    Hello there! First off I have to say your written English is very impressive! Below, I have re-written your story with my suggested changes if you were wanting it to be a little more natural sounding: "From my perspective, the relationship between my friend and I is not defined by who pays for dinner when we go out to eat. Therefore, we always go Dutch when we eat out. To begin with, we often have meals together only when we have free access to the campus since we go to different universities. As a result, it's a long time before we meet up. We always prepare some gifts to express love and care for each other. In my opinion, if my friend foots the bill (an expression meaning to pay for the entire bill), it would be a burden for her and it makes me feel like I owe her a favor." I'm not sure what you mean exactly by the next part but if I understand correctly, this would be my suggestion: "Eventually, I'll associate our friendship with money because I won't be able to stop thinking about paying for her/paying her back. What's more, every time we eat out, we don't always order the same thing. All in all, it's unfair for one of us to pay the entire bill when we go out to eat." Hope this helps!
