    In American English it is proper to say, "I messed up my speech." "Mucked up" would be informal. As a noun, "muck" refers to dirt, rubbish, or manure. As a verb, it means to mishandle something. It can also refer to cleaning out a barn and spreading the manure on a field.

    Second semester.

    Hello, everyone! Today I am back at the university. This is my second semester of nine (four year and half lasts my degree My degree will take four and a half years). I am studying Electrical Mechanical Engineering. Yeah, that  It is a very difficult degree. It´s very interesting, though. I just left of  my first class: calculus. Yeah, I also know that it´s a hard subject, but I love mathematics. , so if  If you like something, go for it!

    The weather is cool, and that puts me in a good mood. During vacation, I hadn´t I did not have too much time to keep practicing practice my English because I was working as a barman. (I´m good at preparing drinks). I left that job to go back to the university. , and  Now I will take thirteen hours of English a week. Yeah, that It is very intensive, but if I want to make an academic exchange to another country, I have to speed up my English learning.

    Well, I am so happy to be back at school, I love to learn. Happy Monday!

    This is excellent. Orally it would be easy to understand. Writing is a little more formal than speaking and I highlighted things that are too casual to use in your written schoolwork. Good luck!

    Mon Voyage à Londres La semaine dernière j’ai visité Londres. C’était ma première visite. Jeudi j’ai vu le Churchill War Rooms et L’Abbey de Westminster. Vendredi j’ai visité les Kew Jardins. Les jardins sont très beaux. J’ai profité le calme après la ville bruyante ! Le pagode est couvert et le grand conservatoire est fermée pour réparations. Vendredi soir j’ai vu le spectacle « Wicked . » Samedi je suis allé a Palais Buckingham, Hyde Park, et le Tower Bridge.

    A sliver of pie is a very small piece of pie. Does that solve the problem? If not, here is a more detailed explanation. The writer is using an expression based on imagining the total of something to be a like a pie (or a pie graph). We talk about getting a "bigger or smaller piece of the pie". In this example, Apple is talking about a "double-digit increase" in income from app subscriptions. The writer is making the comment that app subscriptions are only a small part of the income from apps. He uses the pie expression to say that purchases make up a much larger portion of the income from apps. The "purchases" piece of pie is much larger than the "subscription" piece of pie. When a piece of pie is really small, we call it a "sliver" of pie. So the writer is saying that income from purchases is HUGE. The income from subscriptions may be growing, but it is still tiny in comparison to income from purchases. Hope that helps!

    I am American. Elijah is correct in saying that the Americas are the two continents, North and South America. The three major countries of North America are Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America. Citizens of Canada are Canadians. Citizens of Mexico are Mexicans. But what do you call citizens of a country with the difficult name of "the United States of America"? The only thing that makes sense is "American". So citizens of the United States are Americans. If someone asks me where I am from, I generally say "I am from the United States" to avoid confusion. If someone asks me for my nationality, I say "I am American". USA is simply the abbreviation for United States of America. It is generally used writing as an abbreviation for the country. It is rarely used in speech. In speech it is more common to use "the United States". Example: The United States just elected Donald Trump. Sometimes you will hear (or read) the US rather than "United States". Example: The US just elected Donald Trump. Notice that it is almost always "the United States" and not "United States".
