- Hmm... Context is pretty important on this one, so I'll just make a potential scenario up for you. "Need a little treat for the gang" could be : Often times fathers will call their children their "gang" and the treat could be ice cream. So perhaps the expression you heard was from a father saying that he needs to get a treat for his kids. Something to win her affections back : The context would be that a man has messed up his relationship with his girlfriend so he needs to do something to get her back. That something could be buying flowers or dinner.0 votedApril 22, 20170
- "Tongue in cheek" is a sly subtle form of humor, when you say something that has a double meaning. One meaning can be taking as real, the other meaning humorous. Looking online, here's a possible origin: "It's origin comes from when Spanish minstrels would perform for various dukes in the 18th century; these dukes would silently chastise the silliness of the minstrel's performances by placing their tongue firmly to the inside of their cheek."0 votedApril 22, 20170
- Advertisements (Or "Advertising) influences people to buy products they may not need or are beyond their ability to afford. Most of the time, many customers become disappointed when they find out something in *(or about) their products which they were not informed about before. *"in" works if you are talking about something like food or a product like face cream. Use "about" as in "something about their products" if you mean something like the clothes you buy are from a sweat shop or something like that.0 votedApril 20, 20170

- This is a pretty tricky one, due to the use of "moment". But, it means that "Of what importance are my hammer, etc" compared to the grief of the little prince who he cares so much about. So: "Of what moment" = "Of what importance" = "These things aren't important compared to..." Hope that helps!0 votedApril 20, 20171
- I had to guess what you meant on a few things, but here's a shot at it. The last part didn't make any sense so I altered it a lot! :) -ryan Influence of the series In my opinion the current series has a lot of influence due to the content addressed in them. For example, "Thirteen Reasons Why", has a lot of influence because it talks about the daily life of some people, so the viewer feels a greater connection (or rapport) with the characters of the series. Besides, we can realize that the content of most of the series was done basically for the changes in the characters. By the end of the series you can apply several themes in your family life or your intellectual life.0 votedApril 20, 20170
- Hello! Can you help me check if my paragraph is correct or not ? I'm so grateful for your help! My paragraph: Google Keep is one of the favorite applications on my phone. You can create, edit, and share notes with Google Keep. You can keep track of tasks by creating a list. You can be reminded of your notes at a particular time or when you reach a specific place. It's so simple and easy to use.0 votedApril 20, 20170
