I'm originally from Boston, MA USA but I've been living in Germany since 2010. I have gone up to level C1 in German classes but I don't get to speak German all that much since my entire job is in English. My hobbies are map making, learning Python programming, making fun art projects, film making, traveling, boats and dogs (especially dogs that are on boats!)

    I personally read it as "from." But "by," "with" and "following" can all be correct.

    Audience: Anyone or a group of people watching something. Spectators: Anyone watching but with a more focused feel to it. For example, the word "spectacle" means: "a visually striking performance or display." So think of spectators as being more visually engaged with what they are viewing. Crowd: A crowd can be both above, but it must be A LOT of people. Audience and spectators can be small groups (or in some cases even one person, as in "an audience of one") but a crowd is when lots and lots of people gather in one place. In your case, spectators is a good choice because they are talking about the first television program ever, which must of been a pretty "wow!" moment for those folks viewing it. I hope this helps! Good luck!

    Record about my day:

    It's afternoon. I am a software engineer. I am pretending I am working hard, but I feel sleepy. How about you?

    --Taylor

    Starting today, I will record about my day every day.

    When English speaking people say "we dove on it," it means "we grabbed (or got to it) quickly." For example, if someone comes up with a good idea, one can "dive on it," meaning take that idea and turn it immediately into profitable action. In this case of the film you were watching, it could mean two things: 1.) Since the person is a pilot, if they were actually a plane in the sky during this scene, they could literally mean that they "dove" the plane in that direction toward the UFO to check it out. 2.) It could also mean that the pilot realized that they had discovered a UFO and wanted to make sure that they received credit for the discovery, thus they "dove on it," in example, took whatever means necessary to prove it that it was indeed a UFO and that they were the first ones to see it. For example, here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dive Option 2c is #1 above. Option 3a is #2 above. I hope this helps!

    I agree with Joe. The person is saying they will "try to reach you" on your phone later, in the hopes that you will be available and pick up.

    Are you planning to use British or American English? I'm American and we would not use "programme," we would say "program." However, I honestly would remove programme totally, since it's typically used to talk about something fixed in place, such as "The festival program runs as follows: 8am ...10pm... etc." Here is how I would might write this in American English. About New-York : Broadly speaking, the city sparkles with a remarkable assortment of cultural activities. The richness of the demonstrations, concerts, readings, and festivals, as well as the almost infinite list of continuously opening and closing restaurants and festive places, the fast changing fashion which makes this district the place to suddenly expose the emerging artist : so many signs of a city definitively faithful to its myth. I hope this helps!

    "This is me." Your example is correct! The YouTube uploader does mean to say "This is me at the zoo." In English, it's not really considered lazy that the person left this out, it's how native speakers honestly do speak. I found the examples under "The Bottom Line" on this page helpful when trying to figure out which one to use: http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/blog/english-mistakes/i-vs-me/ Good luck!
