William has learnt Chinese for a semester at college and he can make some basic conversation. He can read a lot of characters and is very smart as he learns really fast.
Activities
- As a native English speaker, the way I read this sentence is: "I would recommend [that] you apply for a grant." The word "that" here introduces the second clause into the sentence, but often times people will omit this word in conversation. I found this website which provides some good examples: https://www.myhappyenglish.com/free-english-lesson/2014/01/28/how-to-use-suggest-recommend-english-grammar-lesson/0 votedFebruary 22, 20211
- Hi Sultan. This is an idiomatic expression which means "we can do anything that we set our minds to." Maybe you have heard the expression "the world is in our hands", which means that we have the power to shape the future. Similarly, an oyster fits in your hand, and when you crack it open, you find something good inside (in this case, food). The expression "the world is in our hands" also often comes with the suggestion of responsibility. By saying "the world is in our hands", it suggests we must also look after the world. In contrast, "the world is our oyster" is much more opportunistic. You can think of it as a "call to adventure" which suggests that opportunities are waiting for us, if only we can open them up. Is this a common expression? I am American, and I wouldn't say very common, but it does come up every once in a while.0 votedMarch 31, 20200
- 1 - perfect! 2 - I hate people who pretend to be kind *towards* me. 3 - How many minutes *does it take* you to drive to work? 4 - I think this sentence is grammatically fine, but it doesn't sound natural to me. I would instead say "Don't be ashamed of living the way you want."0 votedSeptember 12, 20161

I asked him how far the nearest town was.

I asked him if he knew know the people in a the nearby house.
I asked him how long he had been lived in the area. (you could also say "had been living")
I asked him what his name was is.
I asked him if you knew know anything at all.?0 votedMay 12, 20162- When you say "exactly the same," it must describe something. So "a exactly the same" doesn't make sense. If you are talking about an item, you could say "I like exactly the same thing" or "I want exactly the same thing." Usually, you can just use "same." When you say "exactly the same," you just showmore emphasis.0 votedMay 12, 20160
I went to glasslands the grasslands with my friend on International Labour Day. It was the second time we have got gone there.
BaShang glasslands Grasslands are located in ChengDe. I was glad to I can drive my car on the highway, and there is are many amazing sceneries scenery (usually not plural) on both sides of the highway.
Different from other famous sights spots, there were few was a little people in there. We drove the car slowly and appreciated the csenery scenery on by the road.I like (not wrong here, but "enjoy" would be better) this feeling kind of leisure feeling.Hope I helped!
