Encore une leçon très enrichissante. On rigole beaucoup, tout en apprenant de nouvelles expressions. Jean-Michel est capable d'échanger sur des sujets variés et ça nous permet d'approfondir son apprentissage de la langue française. À très bientôt !

    Hi Fernando, I'd vote for the second. In my experience, I'd say it is pretty conventional to note the broadcast or engagement format first (e.g. live, pre-recorded,etc). Think "live broadcast", "pre-recorded online lecture", "live public address" etc. Then follows the medium (online, tv, radio etc) and so on. One final thing, when you say, "by leading physicians...", are physicians the one putting it on? Or are they simply delivering the presentations, lectures etc?

    Hi Paula, Firstly, this sounds like an interesting project. Between the two titles, "Migrating our Gaze" has a nicer ring. But the second seems more applicable in terms of meaning. Here are some things to think about, which might help: 1. Using the plural possessive "our" with the singular "gaze" and "view" suggests you are talking about a collective, or group gaze/view. Is this the idea you want to convey? My guess is your aim would be to change individual points of view. 2. I think gaze suggests something more passive. View CAN suggest something more concrete; a way of looking at the world. Perspective is a nice alternative that I think captures the idea. There are others. 3. The verb is important I think, but depends on how you view the exhibit. Is the exhibit a different view of things, or should it simply trigger the audience to develop a different view? I'm guessing the second and if so then I'd choose a verb which suggests it is acting on the audience. Also, might they simply consider new things, without forgetting the old? Considering the above, other suggestions are: - Expanding our perspectives - Shifted perspectives (you can assume it will happen and title it in past tense) - Altering our Realities/Altered realities - Provoking new perspectives/viewpoints etc etc

    The coast here refers to the actual coastline; the narrow area where land and ocean meet. To be "off" the coast means to be some distance away, and typically in the ocean. One would usually use context to determine if the sentence means on land or in the ocean, but you can pick up clues from the word choices. "....off of..." or , "...off the..." is usually used when referring to something that is in, or has occurred in the water near some specific coast or coastal place.

    quand c'est, quand c'est... Je viens d'écouter la chanson "quand c'est ?" par Stromae, pour peut-etre le soixantième fois (pas toutes ce soir !). A mon avis, c'est une chanson extrêmement créatif mais aussi plein d'émotion. A nos jours c'est assez normale d'avoir connaissance de gens qui souffrent de cancer, et également, ceux qui périssent. Stromae a écrit une super chanson qui a décrit ce sentiment de crainte en face cette maladie terrible.

    Hi Min, The second two aren't quite correct due to the fact that they compare "The consumption of chicken" or "Chicken consumption" to "lamb" and "beef". On one hand you have the consumption of a product. On the other, you simply have a product. You aren't stating a proper comparison. The use of "that of lamb" is what makes the clear difference in the first sentence; you are comparing consumption of one against "that of" (in other words, the consumption of) the other.

    Hi Kseniia, I would not recommend using any of these constructions. I will explain why: 1) I think _the_ word "face" doesn't work in your sentence. - While I understand what you mean and hear this type of construction often from those learning English, native speakers do not express this idea this way. We would instead say, "I don't think the word, "face" works in your sentence." 2) I think _the_ noun "face" doesn't work in your sentence. - Same issue as 1), but also, nobody would say noun in normal speech. They'd use "the word" as you've used above. Perhaps this might be heard in a setting where grammar is being discussed. 3) I think "face" doesn't work in your sentence. - This sentence lacks clarity. I understand because you've stated it clearly in this question. Imagine hearing this question spoken aloud? It would not be clear what you mean. It would be best again to say, "the word" before "face" in your sentence. 4) Can we say "I think _a_ "face" doesn't work in your sentence"? Or "I think _the_ "face" doesn't work in your sentence" (without words (or _the_ words??) "noun" or "word")? - Forget both of these. Refer to the answers above. While the second could work in informal speech, ("I don't think the "the" works here" for example) aim for clarity by taking the advice above. JM

    Hi Timofey, In this case I think "heaviest" or "greatest" would be correct superlative to use in place of "most". The term snowfall is referring to the event of snow falling (or - and this can be a bit confusing - the amount of snow falling during a given time period). In describing the event, as far as I have seen, we use adjectives like those above. Alternatively one might see the height of snow on the ground post-snowfall (e.g. two feet of snowfall). To use "most" in the correct manner here, you might say, "This was the most snow New York has seen in a 24-hour period since 1869", for example.

    Hi victoriaenglish, As Darryl has already said, it is not normally used for planes. Instead, we say that planes "take off". JM

    Hi Ng, "...in the way of..." is simply used here to introduce the specific type of assistance the person is offering. It is often used in similar ways, to limit the preceding statement to a particular thing or type of thing. Here are two more random examples from two popular dictionary websites: - His parents offered him little in the way of emotional support. - Latvia is a country without much in the way of natural resources. I hope this makes it clearer. Always remember that it limits the scope of the preceding statement or focuses it on certain things. So the person in your example isn't really offering "whatever" the other needs. In my examples, his parents may not "offer him little" in other ways (think financial, educational) and Latvia may have many things, just not natural resources. JM

    Hi Lang.learner, I would suggest, "Requests for Repair" instead if you want to use the phrasing you have already chosen. JM
