- Safety is a general idea that means some place or thing is made safe. For example "for your safety, stay away from the dog". A common phrase in construction is "Safety First", which means to watch out for danger before doing your work. Do safe things, and you will have safety. Security is a specific kind of safety that basically means "safe from other people". A security guard watches a property. A lock improves your building's security. There is also the phrase "national security", to protect a country from hostile people. The important part I think is that security is about stopping other people from doing something you think is wrong. It is protection against deliberate action. Safety is more about preventing accidents.0 votedSeptember 20, 20160
- Divorce is the normal way to end a marriage. Different countries have different rules, but in general divorce means "these two people are not married anymore". Nullity happens when something was legally wrong with the marriage. For example, if one person was already married and unable to start another marriage. Or one person lied about their identity. Then the law says that the marriage was never valid. It is not ended, it is removed. If a marriage is nullified, there may be back taxes to pay (because a tax break given to a married couple has to be refunded), or other contracts may become invalid, like a house loan. Nullity is far less common than divorce. Legally it creates extra issues, because benefits given to the married couple may need to be taken away, retroactively.0 votedSeptember 20, 20160
Is this text right?
I has have a lot of hobbies. I like going shopping, playing badminton, playing chess, etc. I also like tennis but I have never tried it before. I just see local people or athletes playing in the stadium or on TV. The small green ball looks really cool. Sometimes, I play chess with my brother. He is very good at it. Another activity I do when I have free time is listening to music. I usually listen to US-UK music. Because I think that it does not only improves my English but also helps me relax. Have you ever listened to "Anyone of us", "Save the best for last" or "Diamonds"? They are three of the songs I really really love. I love reading books. Especially science books, I like to explore new things around my life. It is very fun. You should try it!!!!!!0 votedAugust 10, 20161- Home is where you live, or if you are traveling, where you want to go back to. A house is a building that someone might call their home. However the word 'house' just means a type of building, meant for one family to live in. If you have a building that many families live in, you would call them apartments (if rented), or condominiums (if owned). All three words are types of buildings. Home isn't a type of building. It is an idea. The place you go back to, the place you want to stay. You could say "I see many houses", but you would not say "All these buildings are my homes".0 votedAugust 10, 20161
So many anime I could recommend. It depends a lot on what kind of shows you like.
Since this is a website about learning language though, I will recommend this:
Watch shows dubbed in English, preferably ones with good dubs. This mostly means movies. That way you can learn English while you watch. Subtitles are harder to learn from, as they are often broken into pieces of sentences, and sometimes do not even match the spoken language well. Also, do not watch dubs with subtitles on, because it is more confusing. At least, not the first time you watch a show. Once you know the plot, go back a second time and turn the subtitles on, so you can compare the spoken and written forms.
BTW a movie with an excellent dub is Princess Mononoke. Translated by a professional writer, and voiced by good actors.

Like gain, in this case. Also I prefer your second form "The more mistakes you make, the more experience you gain". Because it puts the focus on the action and the consequence, not "you the person listening". When your sentence uses "you" to mean "whoever hears the sentence", not "a specific person or group", then the focus should not be on "you". Contrast that with the sentence "you made a mistake", which is targeted to a specific person.0 votedJuly 7, 20161
- 1 is alright. 2 is wrong, and 5 is the same as 1. 4 is actually a little bit wrong, the word "from" doesn't belong in there. Let's look at the meaning of these three sentences: 1. I am looking forward to my campus life starting tomorrow. 3. I am looking forward to my campus life which starts tomorrow. 4. I am looking forward to my campus life which is starting tomorrow. Numbers 3 and 4 mean nearly the same thing. I would use "starts" to mean a specific starting point or time, and "is starting" to talk about starting as a process, something that happens over time. Number 1 can mean the same thing as the other two. However it can have a different meaning as well. The phrase "starting tomorrow" can refer to the action of looking forward to, not the start of campus life. Let me give you a clearer example: > I will work hard at my new job starting tomorrow. Does the new job start tomorrow? Or has the job already started, and the person is not working hard already? So I would use sentence 3, or 4 if you remove the word "from". Sentence 1 is not as clear.0 votedJuly 7, 20161
