- The word 'stomach' is sometimes used in a third way - "I can't stomach going into work today" or "I wish I had the stomach to do that". This is slang and not encouraged but you might come across its use. Its basic use here is to say that "I can't face (don't want to) going into work today" or "I'm not brave enough to do that".0 votedFebruary 7, 20171
- Q1. Let us say you are going you are walking and you say "I will walk just as far as there, and then I will start running." Is this odd? A. "I will walk as far as there and then I will start running" or "I will walk just to there and then I will start running" Q2. Does it sound odd to say "at>t does phone, TV and Internet"? ... And what's a bundle when you are talking about cable TV providers, etc? A. I don't quite understand the "at>t" part of this sentence. The word 'bundle' is often used to describe the various aspects of the package that you have bought. For example, a mobile phone contract may come 'bundled' with free minutes, text messages and/or data. A TV package may come with free movies, sport, etc and this may be sold as a 'bundle' or 'package'. Q3. Let us say you are talking abot a road and showing it on a map and you say: "This road runs(is) level up to/as far as here, and then it runs upwards." Does it sound odd? What could you say instead? As far as? A. "This road runs level up to here/as far as here and then it goes uphill" Either would work. 'As far as here' is a little better grammatically. Q4. Finally, do you say "on the upper part of the map" or "in the lower part of the map"? and "I feel a pain in the upper part of my arm or on the upper part of my arm"? A. You can say "the upper part of the map", however, we tend to use the compass to describe a map so you would more likely say "the northern part of the map" or "the southern part of the map".0 votedFebruary 7, 20172
Effect of computer technology on young people
The world we live in has completely changed. The advancement of computer technology as a tool for the development of skills in young people has been gaining broad ground.
First, video games are the medium that most attracts young people. For example, the game Pokemon, which consists of cartoons in different parts of the city and has been played for more than a single millennium alone in Lima, facilitates interaction among young people. In addition, this type of video game improves the physical activity of the player who must be in constant movement to look for the characters.
However, many medical institutions have reacted to the problems that lead to playing Pokemon, such as the development of dependence on the game and the loss of interest in ????. These are some of the problems that have been reported by specialists.
In conclusion, I consider that the use of computer technology as a means to develop the capacities of young people is good to the extent that this is used responsibly.0 votedFebruary 7, 20170- With the word 'many' in your statement, you would expect to be able to number the people. For example - 'Many people were standing near the house. There were at least 1,000 of them.' With the word 'lots' in a statement, you would follow up with an additional 'lots' statement. For example - 'Lots of people were standing near the house and lots of reporters were there too'. You could write 'Lots of people were standing near the house and many of them were reporters'. This would act as a 'classifier' of the unknown number of people, with a large number being reporters.0 votedJanuary 27, 20170
- 1. I haven't eaten xxx since I lived in China. * (Past tense - grammatically you would probably say "I have not eaten XXX since living in China". This would still imply that the last time you ate the particular food was when you lived in China, but does not imply any specific timeline. However, you could also say "I used to eat xxxx when I lived in China" or similar). If I understand correctly, sentence 1 is not identical to "2. I haven't eaten xxx since I left China" Because in sentence 1, the last time of my eating xxx could have been be at any time during my residence in China. While sentence 2 implies that the last time of my eating xxx is when I ate my last meal in China or on the last day of my living in China. * (You are correct in your assumption. Statement 2 implies a more exact timing. You could say "since leaving China, I have not eaten xxxx" although this is not as exact and is similar to statement 1). 3. I haven't heard any more noise since I slept. *(Again, In English, we do not tend to state facts in quite the same way. Grammatically it is okay but unnatural. Another way of writing the same would be - "Since I went to sleep, I have not heard any more noise" or "Since I have slept, I have not heard any more noise" or "I did not hear any more noise when I slept") If I understand correctly, sentence 3 is not identical to "4. I haven't heard any more noise since I woke up" Because in sentence 3, the last time of my hearing noise could have been be at any time during my sleep. While sentence 4 implies that the last time of my hearing noise is at the last minute of my sleep. (You are again correct in your argument).0 votedJanuary 27, 20170
