- It also means "value." Example: This diamond ring is worth $4,000. This diamond ring is valued at $4,000. The value of this ring is $4,000. The worth of this ring is $4,000. OR He is worth a lot to me.---Meaning that the person is valued very much. Example again: My family is worth a lot to me. My family means a lot to me. I value my family a lot.

Saturday August 20th 2016
Wow, I'm too excited, like almost everyday! I'll to August party in São Thomé, it's amazing. I haven't never been in this party for now and I love São Thomé.
First at all, I go to work and when I get home I'll study, then I'll get ready my things and myself. I'll to São Thomé with my uncle and my uncle's girlfriend, and we'll sleep there. It will be really amazing.
Today I'm going to work working less, because it's Saturday. So I'll start at 9 a.m. and leave the shop at 2:30 p.m., which is good because I can get a good time to get ready to go to São Thomé.
Can someone please correct me?
Thanks you very much!
Have a beautiful day. :)I highlighted the areas that I am correcting and will provide an explanation for them below! Please feel free to ask questions! I respond quickly! If it is in bold then that is what the correction should be.
1. Just need to add a comma and the ending of the day for this format of the date: Saturday August 20th, 2016
2. You have "I'll" which is "I will" but you need a verb to complete this sentence since it is for the future. Use I will go to a party in Sao Thome in August. (I don't have the accents for the letters on my laptop, but that is ok!)
3. "It's amazing" should be a separate sentence, also do you mean the party or Sao Thome for "It"? If it is the party it should be: The party will be amazing. Since you have not been there before it will be in the future tense. If you mean the city it will be: Sao Thome is amazing.
4. "I have never" is an expression in English and by using "haven't" instead of "have" you are using a double negative. For example if I said,"I have not NOT had my food today." It means that I have had my food today. The phrase will always be I have never. Your sentence should look like this: I have never been to this party before, but I love Sao Thome.
5. Change "at" to "of" again it is a phrase that must be together that way.
6. I would suggest that you change this to I will go to work since the rest of your sentence is also using "will". It sounds better, because you are telling the reader what WILL happen.
7. Just need to change the word order: ...then I will get myself and my things ready. OR ...then I will get my things and myself ready. Either works. :)
8. Need the verb after "I will/I'll" since you are GOING somewhere. I will be I'll be going to Sao Thome. You will use "be going" since it is something will happen in the future. If you use "I'll go to Sao Thome" it is still ok, but it just means that the event will happen very very soon.
9. There is no need for a comma here.
10. No comma after the time, but you need it before "because"
11. I understand what you are trying to say, so you will write it like this: ...which is good, because I will have a good amount of time to get ready. OR ...which is good, because I will have plenty of time to get ready. You don't need to mention the city again since the reader knows where you are going. :)
I hope this is clear and helpful! Please ask questions if you need a better explanation! Happy to answer! Good luck with your studies!

Hi everyone. Do you like Chinese food? Could you like it? Today I will be teaching you how to cook a Chinese dish; scrambled eggs with tomato. Have you heard of it? It's very simple, but so/very [very is stronger word and better to use here] delicious and nutritious. [Not sure what you mean afterwards, but I think you mean that not everyone likes it or it isn't very popular?] I believe that you will love it/enjoy it. Ok, let's see what we need.
Since you are writing a recipe I will write it in the format that you would normally see it.
You will need:
2 Eggs
2 Tomatoes
A little salt
Some oil
You can find these ingredients easily/pretty much anywhere. Please pay careful attention to the directions to prepare the dish.
First, crack two eggs into a bowl and add a little salt. Next, stir slowly until it has thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Next peel the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces [you can also say."dice them" which means to cut into small pieces.] Set them aside. Then add the oil into the pan. WARNING: Do not add too much! Only a little. [You should make the "warning" just as I have it here in bold and capitalized since it is a warning when cooking.] Adjust the heat to high and add in the eggs. Fry/Cook them until they are golden brown. Scramble the eggs and then add in the tomatoes. Ok we're almost done! Cook for another three minute and add/season with salt. The dish is finished! Have you learned how to cook this now? If not I will teach you in detail.
Note for you: I like that you included a picture! Is it your own photo?

Hello everyone! I'm Diana & and I'm a student of from People's Friendship University of in Russia, I study [can also say,"I am studying" if it still something you are doing] adveritsing advertising and PR. This field implies requires excellent knowledge of English, since the largest advertising agencies are situated in The the US. So [add comm] so learning English is my investment goal to for my future career, [add a period instead of a comma here] I would really love to do an internship somewhere abroad and to gain some useful experience from foreign colleagues.
English is also the key to British and American literature which I desperately try to read without a dictionary (but it's pretty hard!). [Do not need a period here, but if you want to use "but" you need to delete the "!" and the "." and then add a comma after the parentheses "(..)") But I believe that the original versions differs from the translated ones the same way as the face of the cloth differes from the wrong side.Question for you: Is the blue part a Russian expression? If so I think that I understand what you mean, but here is how I would phrase it for an English speaker: "...but I believe that the original versions differ from the translated ones just like how a translated piece of Russian literature is different than its original."
I'll be really thankful to you, guys, if you could correct my mistakes!
See you all!:)Your English is still very good in my opinion with just a few minor adjustments! :) Just remember that most phrases and expressions from other languages do not translate very well or make sense in another language. I would recommend looking up some English expressions to help you. :) Please feel free to ask questions! I always try to explain things very well and simple! :) I hope that this helps!
0 votedSeptember 24, 20162Is tea good for our health?
I drink tea instead of water every day [comma here] because I have done [can also say "have been doing"] it since I was a child. Tea is good for our health. Most tea companys Companies in Japan say that even though I don't know why it's good [can also say,"for you/for your health." I have never doubted that and I think many people in Japan consider tea as to be healthy stuff becauae because of tea company advertisements of tea companies.
The UK is familiar known for tea. Recently I heard some people in the UK put suger sugar in their [you use "their" since you are talking about something that the people are doing] tea. Drinking tea with suger sugar is not healthy. Of course, you don't have to care about a little suger. I'm wondering if people who drink tea with suger think of tea as healthy stuff.I highlighted the last two sentences, because even though you are still mostly correct (about 95% minus spelling errors) there is a way to make the sentence sound better with keeping its meaning. I would suggest the following: However, you don't have/need to worry about a little sugar being unhealthy. I wonder if people who drink tea with sugar (or you can say,"I wonder if people who take sugar with their tea") think of tea as being healthy then.
If you have any questions please ask! Hope this helps!
