- The person on TV might have meant that the person was like a "backseat driver." A backseat driver doesn't have the responsibility for driving but likes to tell the driver what to do. As such, they can be really annoying to the actual driver. However, if the person is being chauffeured, then the person has the right, since he or she is paying the driver for his or her work, to tell the driver where to go. In addition, the chauffeured rider is usually of a higher class than the driver.0 votedAugust 20, 20200

To what extent you agree or disagree?Some people argue that lectures are no longer necessary because of the availability of technology for educational purposes. While I agree that technological developments are of great value in teaching, I also think that there are grounds for delivering lectures to <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">a </s>large groups of students.On the one hand, technology certainly plays an essential role in teaching because it can be used as a supplement to traditional lectures. Teachers today are adept at using the internet, which can help them collect a wider range of cases and more vivid images, as compared with searching for information in traditional ways, such as searching from books and magazines. After the class, teachers often give and receive homework through the internet, via email, social media platforms, etc. For example, in China, <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">teachers of </s>primary school teachers assign homework via WeChat groups. This instant-messaging application allows students to hand in their assignments online and to receive feedback from their teachers immediately.However, I disagree with the idea that lectures have no place in educating a large number of students due to the importance of face-to-face interactions. Sitting in an auditorium or classroom, students usually find themselves focused and their attention directed by the presence of a real teacher. In contrast, their attention is often distracted by web pages or videos when attending online courses. Better still, if on-site lecturers are good at engaging and inspiring their students, the educational experience will be enhanced for everyone.<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">, large group of students will be inspired by the engaging contents that they deliver on site.</s> Hopefully, students’ interest<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">s</s> in learning will be ignited. These things could result in <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">a </s>better teaching outcomes in comparison with virtual interactions.In conclusion, although technology has an important role to play in education, I believe that traditional lectures should continue to be a teaching method when it comes to teaching large numbers of students.I agree with your conclusion. Although technology is convenient, do we really want to spend all of our time with machines? Let me know if you have any questions about my changes.0 votedAugust 20, 20200

- I think you mean, "I think because of the covid-19, exports will not reach 40% of the country's revenue." The sentence I wrote means that exports will probably be less than 40% of the country's revenue. If you just say "not account for" it is a little ambiguous. Exports could be above 40%. Same with "not represent". "Make up" is more like "reach" but "reach" is more precise, in my view." You might mean something else entirely. If so, be more specific with your question. Of course, if the revenue total depends on the export total, then the revenue will decrease when the exports decrease, but not proportionally.0 votedJuly 23, 20201
- It seems that "use" (as a noun) is used with an adjective ("daily" or "excessive") and that it doesn't take an object. "Using", on the other hand, takes an adverb ("daily" or "excessively") and it does take an object ("it", for example): "Using toothpaste is recommended." "Using toothpaste excessively is not recommended." "Using it daily is recommended." We can also use the infinitive "to use" in the first clause: "Whitening toothpaste is generally safe to use daily." Or, "It is generally safe to use toothpaste daily."0 votedJuly 23, 20200
- Usually, adverbs end in -ly. For example, "finally" is an adverb, but it could be replaced by "at last". Some verbs can be used to form both adjectives and adverbs. For example, "deject" can be used to form "dejected" (depressed) and "dejectedly" (in a depressed manner). "Discourage" can be used to form the adjective "discouraged" and the adverb "discouragedly", although the latter is not very common. In addition, we would NOT write, "Discouragedly/Dejectedly by the long hours and low pay, my sister finally quit her job." But we can write, "My sister quit her job dejectedly [in a depressed manner]."0 votedJuly 23, 20201
- (1) means that after years of practice, one has become an expert at weaving. (2) means that after years of trying, your are finally able to weave acceptably well. "to get the hang of" means to learn how to do something. You can say, "He finally got the hang of riding a bicycle without training wheels, and now he can ride without falling over." Or, "He finally got the hang of typing without looking at the keys." (1), on the other hand, means that you are very good at doing something. You can be called a master or expert.0 votedJuly 23, 20201
- to skirt - "to avoid (something controversial, difficult, etc.)" (Webster's New World Dictionary) In this sense, “skirt” is sometimes used in the expression “to skirt the issue.” For example, “The two men kept talking about irrelevant things in order to skirt the issue.” From the viewer's impressions, perhaps the difference between amorality and immorality is not defined, or the two things are deliberately mixed with each other. Maybe immorality (or deliberate evil) is confused with amorality (the absence of the awareness of good and evil), or the idea of amorality is used as an excuse to promote immorality. In any case, the sentence seems to mean that the viewer thinks that Wilder films avoid a sharp distinction between the two ideas.0 votedJuly 22, 20200
