Television

TV is able to give us a new lease on life. For instance, I was so bound and determined to fulfill my lifelong ambition when I watched a documentary on the founder of Ford Motor Company life, Henry Ford. Through hard work and perseverance, Ford worked his way​ up to producing a revolutionary motor.

The grammar is excellent! The only errors are semantic:

"New lease on life" means a fresh start. Typically, one would use this idiom if they were close to giving up and then saw something that re-invigorated them. If you were already determined to fulfill your lifelong ambition, then you didn't need a new lease on life.

"So bound and determined" is typically followed by "that ____________." For example, I was so bound and determined to pass the test that I stayed up all night studying.

Ford didn't work his way up. This implies that he started in an entry-level or low-level position and was gradually promoted through the company. Ford started his own company after building engines in his garage.

I hope this helps! Idioms can be extremely hard to use correctly!

1. A snare is one of the round drums you might see on a drum set or played in a marching band. It is VERY loud. 2. In music, dynamics mean volume. How loud or soft you play the music. 3. If you look at a sheet of music, groups of notes are separated by vertical lines. One section of notes is a measure, or bar. So if you play a few bars, it is a very short segment of a piece. I hope this helps!

Yes, both are correct.

1. Her heart has been broken since the day he left.
2. As soon as he was told his wife was pregnant, he burst into tears.

2. This makes sense as long as you mean that someone other than his wife told him.

3. The candidate was snapped by an acid comment from his opponent.

3. Acid is a noun.  You could use the word acidic, but acerbic would be better. 

4. He was so angry he practically crushed my head off.

"Had been called" means that the train was called Swallow in the past, but isn't now. "Was called" means that Swallow is still the train's name.

1) Yes! Please say that! 2) If you are going to use the car, could you put $40 of gas in it? 3) Hard arteries means the elderly person most likely has heart disease and their arteries have clogged with plaque making a heart attack more likely. "Elderly" is a more polite term and can be an adjective or a noun ("the elderly woman" or " I visited a home for the elderly.") Old can only be used as an adjective (the old man). 4) That definition is correct and you can use that phrase!

Both are correct. It's okay is slightly more common. And they're both responses to a somewhat minor offense (i.e. Someone bumping into you). For more serious offenses, you might say "I understand" or "I forgive you."

Hi Helen, You might need to add some context to get a better correction. Do you mean "On the last day, they acted out many different parts from the movies"? Or "On the last day, the characters acted out parts from the movies"?
