Activities
- The best way to remember idioms is to practice using them with emotion. Imagine yourself in the position to use them genuinely and say it from the chest with feeling. Take this even further by reciting lines from plays in classical English: "Come not between the dragon and his wrath!" -King Lear0 votedJanuary 15, 20190
- 'Dayglow' colors would be very bright colors that can be seen easily even in bright daylight. Safety colors worn by construction workers, like blaze orange and safety lime, are examples of 'dayglow' colors. The girlfriend is referring to a style of very bright, inexpensive wall-art that is sometimes associated with teenagers and college students. A Worhol, by contrast, would be a very expensive and sophisticated piece of wall-art.0 votedDecember 28, 20181
- People from the US will generally not know what you are talking about if you refer to a show as a 'serial'. We pretty much never use 'serial' as a noun, and it will probably sound to them like you are saying 'cereal'. Here, we call that a 'series'. Pretty much the rest of the English-speaking world calls it a 'serial', but you know we always have to be different.0 votedDecember 18, 20180
- 'Recap' is short for 'recapitulation', and can be used as both a verb and a noun. It is a term that is used frequently by sports announcers. "Let's go to Bob for the recap" is a very common way for the word to be used in the context of sports or some other form of commentary. One could also say "I had to miss the meeting, but Karen recapped the important parts for me". To recap and to give a recap can be used interchangeably. It is also proper to use the full word 'to recapitulate' or 'to give a recapitulation', though it sounds kind of odd because it is used less frequently than the shortened version.0 votedDecember 18, 20181
- Audience comes from the Latin word for listening and Spectator comes from a word for seeing or looking. In general usage, a spectator can be an individual but an audience is a group that is present to listen or view a speaker, presentation, play, movie, etc. Spectator is usually used in sports, but can be anyone who is looking at anything.0 votedDecember 3, 20180
- Negotiation is one of the most advanced skill-sets related to business English. More challenging negotiations will require you to read your counterpart's emotions and see past what they are saying directly. Negotiations can also involve a lot of pressure on all participants and the potential for hostility. I can't tell you a specific book to read, but Harvard has a Program On Negotiation which recently published a reading list on their blog: https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/negotiation-training-daily/negotiation-books-a-negotiation-reading-list/0 votedSeptember 10, 20181
