    In terms of - when you are referencing something. An example would be: "in terms of championships, the yankees are the best baseball team ever."

    In the long term - when you are talking about the future. An example would be: "we may have 10 pounds of meat, but in the long term, its not enough to keep us from starving."

    No one would ever say "in term of" it doesn't make sense.

    Does this help?

    I think it depends on which country you live in, honestly. In the US, it probably does not matter too much, but if you have career ambitions you should probably wait until you are at least 23 if not 25. I'm not saying that you can't be successful if you get married before that, it just helps to wait a little bit.

    This is me!

    Hi my name is Francesca and I'm 19 years old. My family is composed of 4 people: my mom is a teacher, my dad works in an office, and my brother and I go to school. I am in Naples studying the Spanish and Russian languages, but I also love to practice English and French. I never learned German. I love languages because through them I can fly away with my imagination to other places where my problems are far away. This year I started to study the Russian language and I have to say that it isn't as difficult as many people say, but to learn this language you have to study a lot and then you'll realize that it is a beautiful language. One of my favorite languages is Spanish, because it's a happy language, and easy for me to learn! I went in Valencia to practice this idiom (?*) and it was very funny at first but now I can fluently speak Spanish and it's a beautiful thing! I don't know what to say anymore, so I hope you're all good and give you a huge hugs[emoji][emoji]❤!


    I love languages casue trought them I can fly away with my imagination to other places where my problems are away.

        - This sentence sounds odd, but it makes sense. I would say this: "I love foreign languages because I can use my imagination and     escape to a place where I am a new person and my problems are far away." This is a more advanced way to say this, and not     necessary. 


    (?*)  ---> Not sure what you are trying to say

    What time is it? - This is a question you ask when you want to know the time of day. It can mean nothing else. Do you have the time? - This can mean two things, and it all depends on context. It can be used the same way as "What time is it". It can also be a question you ask when you want someone to spend time with you. You would usually ask someone this as a follow-up question if they offer to help you with something. Example: Person 1: We could really use some help getting ready for this event. Person 2: I would love to help you guys. Person 1: Great, we work on everything in the evenings. Do you have the time to help? Person 2: Of course! This is an odd use of the phrase, but hopefully it helps. Most people would use "Do you have the time" when they want to know the actual time of day, but it can be used in ways similar to what I showed. Thanks!

    I earned money today!

    I said I got a part-time job last time, and today is the second day I worked there. This restaurant is more like an Asian restaurant, rather than Chinese. On the weekends, there are a great deal of British people having lunch and dinner around  2.pm to 8.pm. I'm a bit tired after yesterday's work. However, I earned some money today. This is my first income after arriving at the UK.

    I will try to work hard at this restaurant because most of the part-time staff are Vietnamese, so I can talk to them with English. Meanwhile, I'm going to focus on my studies:)

    Bollywood will be clothing us

    In his old photos, when he used to be a student in Calcutta in the fifties, my father used to wear a shirt buttoned all the way up to the neck. He must have felt hot, but he was fashionable. Like all the young Indian people at that time, he loved the actor Dey Anand, who used to wear a shirt in the same way. It’s true that all that glitters is not gold, but all that glitters can make people daydream. In the meantime in India, we dream of Bollywood.

    A few years ago, I was with the actress Preity Zinta in her own RV on the location of "Veer Zaara". She had been commissioned a story by the BBC and needed some help. They wanted her to debunk the myth of worshipping movie stars as gods in front of the crowd. She thought of starting the story like this “People think that movie stars never go to the restroom. I must admit that. It’s true. That’s why we are pieces of shit.” She thought it was so funny and then she pulled her head back and started laughing out loud.

    Her hair was dyed with henna and she was wearing a yellow stage costume, made up of a pair of trousers and a long shirt. She said “let’s bet the yellow salwar-kameez will be in fashion in a couple of months, shall we?” She had awareness of the facts. The shades and the black top she had worn in a film the previous year had been a smash hit. Without a doubt that attire would be cloned hundreds of thousands of times.

    To answer you more directly with the sentence you provided: People who suffered a theft should take measures to avoid future break ins. I would say this: People who are victims of theft, should take more precautionary measures to avoid/prevent future break-ins.

    You could say this, and it would make sense. There are a TON of ways to say this though: 1. Someone stole from me. 2. I/We was/were burglarized 3. My home was broken into. 4. A thief stole (item(s)) from my home 5. We were victims of home invasion. 6. My car was broken into. I guess what I am trying to say is, is that there is no "right" way to say this but a native speaker would probably describe the incident a little more clearly with something like the examples I provided. Good question!

    Act: "act" can be a noun and it can be a verb. Example: "You act ridiculous when you are drunk" - In this example "act" is being used as a verb. Example: "He put on this act, trying to impress a girl"' - In this example "act" is a noun. This is sort of a colloquial term, meaning that he was trying to impress a girl. More Info: Action - to run is an action, to write is an action, to swim is an action. OR running is an action, writing is an action, swimming is an action. More Info: Action - "Action!" it can be a demand to act, or to take action. Meaning that you want someone to do something. Hopefully this is somewhat useful, if it isn't, let me know and I will expand more!
