Profile
Born in London and raised in Leicester, England and a qualified teacher of English. Passionate about literature, philosophy and the sciences. In my free time I am an artist, skateboarder and occasional music maker. I have been in Istanbul for nine years where I live together with my Turkish wife, and I have reached a fluent standard of Turkish. To engage with people in their language is a must if you want to truly integrate, and even if you are just a tourist, the experience is so much better if you can communicate with the native people! With my experience providing ESL lessons to adults in the course, school and university environment, as well as both one-to-one private lessons and group lessons, I can help to prepare you for the temporary visit abroad and for your immigration for that new life and career. My expertise and experience include general English and IELTS exam preparation. Contact me for a trial lesson at your convenience…

    Too Close to Home

    There is an episode of the podcast This American Life called "too close to home", which shares a significant story about immigration. Scaachi Koul is a 28-year-old girl who was visiting her parents in Canada. She was trying to learn Hindi, the mother tongue of her their parents. Scaachi Koul did some interviews with her parents to understand what <s>is</s> the worst part of making a new life abroad is. In other words, to live in a country, and in<s>with </s>a culture that wasn't theirs. This text analyses some of these ideas. <s>h</s>
    There are some opportunities and advantages that many people can’t enjoy in their own country. That’s the reason Scaachi Koul’s family sought a better life abroad. She described this situation with this quote: "We had a house, two cars, a yard, university educations. We were middle class in Canada, all with traditional Hindu names. It was the Indian dream". They were reaching goals that would be impossible to imagine in India during that time. Canada was a new country that was worth living in.
    On the other hand, there is a sacrifice for this life of success when you are an immigrant. You have to replace your language and culture for another. That was the experience of Scaachi Koul’s family. She grew up as a Canadian citizen who speaks English instead of Hindi. Their parents weren’t sure about the decision to impose <s>her </s>a culture on her that wasn’t there anymore. That was the reason Scaachi Koul only speaks English and decided to take classes in Hindi as an adult. She grew up with a feeling of loss about her origins. Indeed, she could understand that it was painful not only for her but especially for her mother; who was forced to speak in a language in which it was hard to express what<s> that took away the meaning</s> <s>that</s> she wanted to say to her children.
    In conclusion, there are deep consequences of all our decisions. Immigrants have to handle the disjunctive between opportunities that they can't find in their country and the adaptation to a different way of living. The worst part of that is when you sacrifice everything of your culture to adapt to another culture.

    AI technology in South Korea

    This article talks about how Korean IT companies are slated (what do you mean here?) to apply advanced AI technology to automatically censor the profanity and spam on their platforms. For example, it's expected that the companies will even be able to automatically detect curse words such as "f@@k," "sh&it" that users deliberately misspell to trick word filters. (e.g.)

    https://pulsenews.co.kr/view.php?sc=30800019&year=2020&no=648065

    한국의 IT 회사들이 AI 기술을 적용하여 게임이나 댓글창에서의 욕설, 비방, 스팸등을 더 정교하게 사전에 차단할 수 있다는 내용입니다. 예를 들면 사람들이 욕설을 몇 글자를 바꿔서 내용은 전달하되 검열에는 안 걸리게 많이 올리는데 그것도 캐치할 수 있다고하네요. (Ex. 시@발, 병'싄)

    You provided a “Quality Manual” sample by Bizmanualz.com, in which there is a few, to be exact, 24, procedures mentioned. Are the samples for these procedures available? If they are, then we would be able to learn the formats and methods from those procedures and make our own customized ones.

    Cover Letter

    Dear Hiring Manager,

    I am very interested in the Freelance Translator position that you advertised for your potential upcoming subtitling projects. With three years of dubbing and subtitling experience and my level of proficiency in English, I believe that I would be perfect for this role.

    What sets me apart from other candidates is that I am a native Thai who scored 100% on my TOEIC exam, which proves my understanding of the English language. I also have direct experience in dubbing and subtitling for big-name clients like X and Y.

    Please take a look at the attached resume. I look forward to your response. <s>Look forward to hearing from you soon</s>.

    Yours faithfully,
    Tyker

    However, having learned grammar for about several months, what empowers me was the clear and logical grammar instead of previous fragments. I think “empower” and the sentence are very strange but I don't know how to revise it. Could you help me？ You need to give more information to us so we can understand what you want to express with empower. Also, 'previous fragments'-from what? from where?

    Could you please correct my essay?

    Q. Do you agree or disagree: when educational budgets are limited priority should be given to raising teachers salaries rather than to improving classroom facilities.

    In Japan, some schools, especially in rural towns, are not facilitated well. Given that situation, we should put priority on improving classroom facilities for three reasons.
    Personally, it will directly lead to an improvement in the quality of education. For instance, introducing PCs will allow students to study more effectively. If you improve the comfort of the classroom, more students become willing to study.
    Secondly, educational budget should be used for students, not for teachers. One of the most important purposes of education is to help children, who will play an important role in taking society forward in the future
    <s>to grow up</s>, so governments should put the highest priority on students. Thirdly, it also leads to the protection student's health. As I mentioned, (you didn't mention it before!) some schools have<s>are</s> a lot of air conditioners, water coolers or other important equipment. Needless to say, what’s more important is health, not salary.
    As a conclusion, I strongly believe that priority should be given to improving classroom facilities.

    My English page

    Alhamdulillah, 1200 people are following my page. I freely admit that I don't have the ability to teach people and there are not a few people with a more profound knowledge of English than I have. I only share what I learn. I'd like to assure you that whatever lessons I share with you, I share them from authentic sources. I usually focus on those things Bangla-speaking learners of English tend to be confused about. I do believe you've benefited greatly from my page. Why not help your friends benefit from it too by inviting them to like the page?

    English essay practice

    Write your answer to these questions about success in at least 2 paragraphs:
    1. Write down which of the above qualities you believe you possess?
    2. Write an example of at least 2 of the qualities you have.
    -------

    I think “perseverance” and “consistency” are the 2 qualities I have, and that helps me to reach my goals and makes my life easier. For example, when I was a child, I liked drawing. Then my father sent me to a sketch class when I was 12. I took the class for about 3 years just for learning pencil sketch and charcoal-drawing. After high school, I applied to a university with Commercial Design as my major. The drawing skills I learned before were really helpful, and in the end, the school admitted me. I was so <s>just </s>happy at the time.

    After graduation, I found an entry-level job in an advertising agency. The salary was low but the working hours were long. It was hard, but I never wanted to give up. After I worked for some different advertising companies, I accumulated some work that allowed me to take on my own projects. Even though I’m not living in Taiwan, I can still get some jobs to do.

    For me, “perseverance” and “consistency” really help me a lot. Furthermore, I’m really thankful because becoming a freelancer doesn't make me feel<s> not</s> that nervous during the times I don’t have a job in the U.S. Also, I love working at home, especially in San Diego with the beautiful view and weather.

    Can I use in the main clause Past Perfect or its better to use would+verb? It depends what exactly you want to tell us. If you change it to would+verb1, you will get this: 'he would have a job by now'. This would be a reasonable and logical sentence. If you keep it past perfect, I would change 'have' for 'get' to make it express what you want to say more correctly. Then, it wouldn't matter which tense you used, they would both express the same thing.

    I'm practicing new vocabulary.

    Everybody uses the thumb to type or text.
    In Nicaragua when we talk in Spanish, we don't say hair we use 'fur' to refer to the hair of a person,dog or any object with fur/hair.
