- In (a) the correct answer for "broken" is "broken-hearted". The rest are correct. Here are some sentences uses these compound adjectives: Kate is very welcoming and caring; she is a warm-hearted person. Tom was broken-hearted to hear that he did not get the job he applied for. I am very absent-minded and always forget where I put my car keys. To be broad-minded is to be tolerant and liberal in one's views and reactions. Jack is self-centered and did not consider how his decision to cancel his plans for the evening would affect his friends. Lindsey is very self-disciplined follows a strict exercise regimen. Mario is big-headed and thinks he is the best at everything, even though he is not. Paula made her decision in a hard-headed manner, and did not let sentimentality sway her in the process.0 votedMarch 4, 20161
- Breakfast is the first meal of the day, literally "breaking your fast" after not eating all night while asleep. It can be eaten anywhere—at home, at work, or at a restaurant. Brunch is a combination of the "br" in breakfast and the "unch" in "lunch"—it occurs in the later hours of the morning, and is usually a leisurely meal enjoyed on weekends. Brunch typically occurs between 10 o'clock in the morning and noon and can be considered a late breakfast or an early lunch. In many American cities, it is popular to go out to a restaurant for brunch on the weekends. Often at brunch, both breakfast foods and lunch foods are offered on the menu. Americans use the terms "dinner" or "supper" to refer to the last meal of the day. We use them interchangeably where I am from, and they have the same implied meaning. In some states, one term might be used more than another, though. I am not sure. Those terms refer to the meal itself. When referring to the time when dinner or supper take place, we say "dinnertime" or "suppertime". Most Americans eat dinner or supper when they come home from work, so usually after 5:00 PM. The time that people eat varies widely.0 votedMarch 4, 20160
Suits (TV Series)
Mike Ross is a young man with a brilliant mind who has always dreamed of being a lawyer. However, due to an unfortunate accident, he was expelled by the faculty before his college graduation. Nowadays he earns his way using his impressive photographic memory in an unusual and illegal manner: he takes the places of other students for the Law School entrance exam.
Mike is involved in a drug trafficking issue and he shows up at a job interview in order to escape from the police. Although he does not have a degree and arrives at the interview with a suitcase full of marijuana, Mike impresses Harvey Specter, one of the best lawyers in Manhattan. Brilliant, elegant and handsome, Harvey is famous for winning all his cases—even crossing the rules sometimes.
In spite of the company rule to only employ lawyers who have graduated from Harvard, Harvey offers the position to Mike. Both will have to hide this secret from the rest of company members, including Jessica, the managing partner of the firm, and Harvey's enemy, Louis.
Hi Jason! I love Suits, it's a great show.0 votedMarch 3, 20164Are you a superstitious guy?
If you don't want to cross with a black cat to cross your path while you are walking on the street, or you have to touch knock on wood everytime all the time, or maybe you don't like to book the thirteenth seat in a flight, I am sure you are a superstitious guy. So here are some "Argentinian Superstitions":
1) Don't walk under an open stairway
2) Touch Knock on wood if you don't want that someone something bad to happens to you. In the US, we knock on wood with our knuckles to ward off bad luck or invite good luck. I am not sure if that is what you do in Argentina. If you just touch the wood, then it is fine to leave it as you wrote it.
3) Don't break a mirror if you don't want to get sevens years of bad luck.
4) You shouldn't wear something yellow if you are an actor on during his your first presentation performance.
5) On Tuesday or Friday the 13th don't get marry married, don't take a ship and don't go out from leave your home.
6) If you are going to cheers toast with water do it clink glasses twice. The verb is not "to cheers" but "to toast", but you would be clinking glasses twice.
7) If someone request asks you for the salt, you shouldn't give it on his hand hand it to him; you have to put it down on the table near the person who request asked you.
8) Don't kill a cricket or you can get bad luck immediately.
I know many of them are common in others country other countries, but I think these are eight of the most common superstitions from here.
Good luck!0 votedMarch 3, 20161- "A few" usually means around 3-5. There is a number loosely implied. At some point in childhood, native English speakers learn to differentiate between "a couple" which means only 2, and "a few" which implies more than 2, but still a small number. "Some" does not imply a specific number, but more an indeterminate amount that more than a little and less than a lot. "I have some friends" could really be any number of friends, from a few to much more. It is important to note the difference between "a few" and "few", too. "Few" means "not many." "I have a few friends" means "I have about 3-5 friends" while "I have few friends" is a somewhat sad statement that means "I do not have many friends."0 votedMarch 3, 20161
- To be a "mouthpiece" or a "stooge" in this context means to naively reiterate what the source told you, without further investigation. It means to take what the source said, believe it, and publish it as a story, without doing the investigative journalism necessary to find out if the statement is true. Many times people who are being interviewed by journalists want to be talked about in the news story in a way that will make them look good, or will further their agenda, and so they will twist their words or leave out the details that would cause them to look bad or will hurt their agenda. A journalist who does not do enough investigation, and publishes only the details that the source wants to be published, is operating as a "mouthpiece" of the source. Think of it as the source is using the journalist as a physical extension of the source's mouth, to communicate only what they wish to communicate to the public.0 votedMarch 3, 20162
- Mi amiga especial Yo tengo una amiga muy especial en mi vida. Ella tiene un ojo azul y un ojo marrón, dos orejas triangulares, y cuatro piernas. Su cuerpo es cubierta en pelo blanco y negro. Si no es obvio, ella es una perra. Su nombre es Patty y ella es mi amiga mas dedicada. Hay muchas cosas que yo amo sobre mi perrita: 1. Cada día cuando yo trabajo en mi computadora, ella duerme bajo del escritorio, cerca de mis pies. 2. Ella le gusta mucho jugar conmigo. 3. Ella trata hablar, pero solamente cuando ella está enojada. Es muy divertido.February 28, 201683
Zoolander 2
Some days ago I went with my friends to the cinema to see Zoolander's sequel.
We saw the first one in the 2001 when we were 14 and we expected the next one for a long time.
It was nice to see again the unscrewed characters and their hilarious expression but i have not found the sequel "really really ridiculously good looking" as the first was.
