Steeple is a church tower (the pointy part). It's a noun so use it as you would with any other noun.
For example:
You can see the steeple off on the distance, as the sun slowly rises from behind.
The tourists stared in awe when they saw the ancient steeple and how well taken of it was within the last few centuries.
I hope this helps! You can also google steeples and see some pictures too!

Do you remember in the Harry Potter Series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, how Harry got a diary book, and every time that he wrote down anything, the soul inside the book would answer his question and give him guidance?
I think that Italki is kind of like the diary: people writing their thoughts and feelings here and somebody replying to you. This is really interesting.
I've read the whole Harry Potter Series in Chinese, but I've never read the original English version. I wonder if I could comprehend the whole story at my current English level?0 votedFebruary 22, 20172Letter of introduction
I would like to apply for the position as an intern at Henkel.
I am currently studying International Economic Affairs at UAEMex, and am at the last year in my university. My specialization is on International Trade. I chose that because I’ve always been interested in topics like globalization, and how the countries work with others. I am also interested in administration, logistics, duties, customs and supply chains.
My strengths include efficiency, responsibility, and organizational skills. I believe that what is most important at work is engagement; I ensure that my assignments are top-notch. My background and experiences are proof that I am a person who can make results.
I believe that Henkel is a key company for the world. I’m surprised by their successes and their way of working. Every day I use products made by them and I’m very excited about the possibility to being part of those products that are used by me and the millions of people around the world. I would love to continue learning and would enjoy contributing my ideas with Henkel.0 votedFebruary 22, 20172On the Airplane
I'm taking a trip with a friend to Boracay. (Correct, but does not sound too natural)I'm traveling with a friend to Boracay. (Sounds natural)
Since it was chosen as a best beach in Asia a few years ago and it's high season now, there are so many tourists. (Again, does not sound too natural)Since it was chosen as the best beach in Asia a few years ago, it's high season now. Because of this, there are a lot of tourists.
- When saying "the best", it means that it is number 1. The top of everything else. you can also say "One of the best beaches", meaning that it is very high up there, but I am not sure if it is the best beach of every other beach.
By the way, when we were on the airplane, I went to the bathroom.So, when we were on the airplane, I went to the bathroom
"By the way" is usually used when you want to say something after a conversation has happened, or when a conversation is about to end. "So" is used when there is a small change in your story, or if you are continuing your story.
There was a speaker and I listened to man's voice suddenly.Suddenly, there was a man's voice over the speaker, and so I listened.
He spoke very fast and I didn't catch what he said.
I thought someone was talking to me and I might have done something wrong there.I thought someone was talking to me, and that I might have done something wrong.
But it was just information for all of us.
Afterward, I talked to my friend about that and she was laughing.Afterwards, I told my friend about it and made her laugh.
This is a lot of information, but I hope this helps with your studies!
英語がちょっと難しいですね。頑張ったください!
0 votedJanuary 2, 20171- Yes, you can use that. However, I feel that using "sides" is a bit more natural. For example: "There are two different sides to this issue. The first one is about the people's happiness and well-being. The second one is about the economy. The former* being positive, whereas the latter is not." *I feel it is best to use latter with former, as these words go together. Another phrase you can use is: First off (it sounds like you are listing your points) First off, is the people's happiness and well-being. The second is about the economy in the area. Note that I did not use "second off" as it sounds less natural and redundant. Stating "first off" lets the listener know that you have a few things to say, regarding the issue. Hope this helps! El inglés de usted está muy bien. Tienes una buen vocabulario, pero tienes que practicar con el gramática. Ojalá que yo te ayudé y que se pasé un buen día :)0 votedJanuary 2, 20170
