- Hi Javi, good question! In the first sentence (How would you like it?), "how" can mean either "to what degree" or "in which way". For example, if your friend suggests that you go to the park this afternoon for a walk and then asks "How would you like it?" you can answer "I would like it a lot!" or "I would not like to go to the park." If instead your friend is asking you if you want an apple and he offers it to you either whole or cut into pieces and then says "How would you like it?" you can tell him the way you prefer ("I would like the apple whole" or "I would like the apple cut into pieces")... In other words, "in which way." "Why would you like it" asks "For what reason?" If you tell your friend you would like to go to the park and he asks "Why would you like it?" you can answer "I need fresh air!" or "I like to walk in the park" or "I like to see the children playing with their friends." You could name any reason you would like to go to the park. I hope that helps! If you'd like to practice using these sentences, feel free to visit my teacher profile: https://teach.italki.com/teacher/3625837 and we can have a lesson.0 votedFebruary 18, 20200
- Hello Kixyuu, I'm including your text with minor grammatical adjustments below. You write well! There are a few other recommendations I could offer, but I think you are mostly looking for grammatical help. I also offer lessons for supporting students with writing in English. If you're interested in improving not only grammar but also style, flow, and word choice, feel free to book a trial lesson with me on my profile! For now, here are the major corrections. All the best, Sarah Climate change is becoming more and more severe, which is taking a toll (or: "which has taken a toll") on human beings. Though many people are still indifferent to this grave situation, some people have begun to break the silence. One of the examples is Greta Thunberg, a fifteen-year-old girl from Sweden. Instead of going to school punctually, she has created (or: started, initiated...) "School Strike for the Climate” in front of the parliament. She expressed her thoughts to adults without any support, although she is merely a student. Furthermore, what she is doing has successfully encouraged more and more young people to speak for their planet and their future. Thus, I quite admire and agree with her bold behavior. Although I’m not as brave as Greta Thunberg, I’m able to do something to stop climate change from worsening as well. For instance, I ride a bike to school rather than driving. Unlike cars which emit CO2, bicycles do not pollute the environment. Moreover, I bring my own lunchbox and do not use disposable containers. In this way, the amount of garbage can be diminished, and the waste of resources can be warded off. Although these actions are small, if we all do a little, the effect that they have will not be insignificant. As Greta Thunberg is bracing to save the earth, should we continue to push it to the abyss? Let’s take actions for our planet now!0 votedNovember 18, 20190

Please find the corrected version below. I do not know for the last sentence what you mean by "card visit." I changed it to business card, but please confirm that this is what you want to say. If you would like to continue to practice your English, please visit my teacher profile page, as I offer tutoring! Happy to help you.
Hello, my name is Thang. I am a senior at Viet Nam National University. My major is Nanotechnology. I am studying sodium ion batteries at the Viet Nam Academy of Science and Technology. I found your information on the internet, and have read about your research into Graphene, in which I am very interested. I am going to graduate in June 2019, and I would be grateful if you were to accept me as your student, as I would like to study there. May I please have information on available scholarships? I would also like to keep in touch, so may I please have your business card?
Thank you.
0 votedNovember 6, 20180 Hi Gabriel,
I'm going to take a shot at this and see if I can help! Although I'm a mother-tongue English speaker, I've never really asked myself (or anyone else) this question. But it helps to think of it like we would when naming people as members of a family (e.g., "They are sisters" or "They are parents") or as any kind of identifying role (e.g., "They are athletes"). In these cases, the nouns that follow the verbs are subject complements. In the single form, a subject complement requires an article (I am a cook or She is a student) but the plural forms do not (They are students). Think of it as assigning a sort of job title to the plural subject. We are not speaking of a specific cook or specific student but rather just giving another way to name/identify them. In plural forms, subject complements do not require articles unless we are referring to an exact or specific noun. It would require an article if we were to say, for example, "They are the best friends who went to the concert together." In this case we are specifying them further.
Hope this helps!
Sarah

0 votedNovember 6, 20180- Hi Jordana! Compliments for your English! I have a few answers for you. 1) Envy is a noun and a verb. Jealousy is a noun like envy, while jealous and envious are both adjectives. You could say that you want to make your friend jealous/envious that you're eating ice cream. OR you could say something like you want them to feel envy or jealousy. 2) In your example, the person could say either, as both is correct. It depends on the location mostly. "Right up" when talking about orders/food usually refers to the food being moved to the higher counter, ready to be served. "Order up" means that the order is ready to be served. "Right out" refers to the order being brought from the back/the kitchen to your table. This is often more appropriate for a "sit-down" restaurant, whereas "right up" may be more fitting for fast food places. 3) I think this is an okay way to say this, but I think it would also suffice just to say, "Why don't we just give the house to them?" Best of luck!0 votedMay 4, 20171
