I'm a Chinese native speaker. My major is Computer Science in the University of Rochester. I can program with C++/Matlab/Python. If you are interested too, welcome to communicate. :) I'm looking for an English partner. I think listening could be practiced without partners. So what really matters here is to practice speaking and find someone to correct for us. So maybe when we chat I can speak English while you can speak Chinese, and we can correct for each other, this is my idea. of course, any other plans are ok. I have facebook. If you want to add me, just search my name:) I also have wechat(id number is:①⑤⑧⑤①〇①⑧⑤⑧ please turn them into numbers :))

    What's the difference between "not fml" and "infml" in dictionary? I'm reading 《Longman Lexicon of Contemporary English》 and it sometimes uses "not fml" or "infml" which confuses me. for example: 1.get up: not fml (1)to (cause to) rise from bed in the morning (2)..... 2.pick oneself up: infml to get up. esp after falling 3.strike: (1)not fml to seem: 4.look as if: also look like, usu infml to seem to be (going to) What's the difference between them? Thank you!

    Could "a sentence of more than 7 years" become "a sentence more than 7 years?" The example Sentence is below: (1)The eight thieves served a sentence of between 2 and 7 years In sentence (1) the Prepositional phrase is used as object. But it is said that this usage is very rare, so I think maybe the prep "of" is redundant, maybe I could only say (2)The eight thieves served a sentence between 2 and 7 years Am I right? Or maybe people usually express in another way? Similarly, How about this sentence? Is this very common or a little weird in everyday English? (3)Come out from behind the door. Thank you for your help!

    I suppose the second sentence should be "How many people came in that day?"

    两个是同一种东西。只是叫法不同。 They are the same thing, just different names. 参考百度百科： reference: http://baike.baidu.com/link?url=sKsQ6Utj4phsNAj8-c80D9ZRe1YTk5SjRHM0I7V-XbUe0k1_sl7tpgn2YoFhRqkaAXhGUfH8O7jXKLSlBdSmVH_yJx9YgAdDBE-fRjPrhdtJwBsJ0x68kmbeXzlXGOEEZ3zghzqltdA_5pSTiXs1Ptpw4iQXuqfQTEzG4nsitLusvn54kQIKyvJTmyKwKG7v 第一行写道：同义词 西红柿一般指番茄（茄科茄属植物） In the first line, it says: they are synonymous, 西红柿 generally means 番茄 就像马铃薯和土豆一样，完全相同 It's like the relationship between "马铃薯"and "土豆", they are all potatoes.

    "Why are you here"=(1)"Why did you come here?"(2)"Why do you come here?"(3)"Why have you come here"? I wonder which of these 3 options are equal to the meaning of "Why are you here" and which is more common. This is what I think: (1)"Why did you come here?" means you came here at some time, maybe just now, not now (2)"Why do you come here?" is wrong, because "come" is a momentary verb, the action should have finished. Am I wrong? Please tell me, Thank you very much!

Thank you very much

    An Important Place An important place to me is the Chinese National Library. It's near my university and I go there very often because I'm an undergraduate student and often need some books to refer to for my assignments, but my school library is too small to have those books, so I have to turn to this library. On the other hand, this library is very spacious and its desks are very wide, and it's very quite in it., so it's very comfortable for studying there and studying there could make me focused and efficient. That's why I like it. Hope you can make it sound more native and natural! Thank you for your help!

    My Favorite Musican My favourite musician is Michael Jackson. Because I like his songs and dance. When I was a child and watched his concert video for the first time, I was totally shocked. How could a person dance like that? I can't even see his movement clearly. And his songs are so rhythmic that all the scene audience stood up and moved their body together. That's really impressive. Furthermore, he wrote the songs and lyrics and design the dance all by himself. So he is really talented. That's why I like him.

    yvonne's answer is really a standard & correct answer! Actually in normal life, we don't distinguish such a subtle difference. We just feel that "必定" is very very intensive affirmative, and "一定" is not so strong, just a normal affirmative speculation. But if you really want to do this, you must know that the key to distinguish similar chinese words is to focus on their different part. In this question, their different part is "必"、"一". And as yvonne's answer said, "必定" suggests that there is some irresistible factor, so it's an objective speculation, maybe that's why this words sounds very very affirmative.
