    I want my Rio came back

    I have always lived in an incredible place, where people were happy, had fun and lovely. A place with wonderful nature, beautiful beaches, and people who weren't afraid to live, but now, it's all over. We can't walk without being afraid. There are many dangerous places where you can`t go and I worry all time about my family and my friends. How did we get here? Whose fault is it? The President? The governor? The Mayor? I don`t know . The only thing I know is that I want my RIO DE JANEIRO back.


    That sounds hard, I think a lot of places have become a lot less safe with time.

    Why do I want to practice my language skills with native speakers?

    I completely understand that most people are here to learn languages and making some mistakes are normal but I think honesty and modesty are very important. In fact, I don't think the following guy has the Japanese level he thinks he does. I guess he can say some basic Japanese words, but he doesn't even understand Japanese grammar. That is why I only want to practice language skills with native speakers because very many people online don't have the correct judgment about their own language skills.


    I agree with you here, his grammar is very, very strange. I'm not even sure Google Translate would give you that kind of grammar. I think being a teacher is more than just being a native in the language though. You can be a native but not be able to teach too.

    Ways of working

    I used to work fixed hours, but now I work flexible hours.
    I used to work in an office, but now I work from home.
    I am working on my own, but I prefer to work in a team.
    I am working for a boss now, but I hope to be my own boss in the future.
    I am a freelance teacher, so I work on flexitime instead of shifts and job-sharing.
    Teleworking can get a little bit lonely at times, I miss gossiping.

    Another School Year - What For?

    In January 1940, I taught Shakespeare at a university. One day, a student came into my office. He told me that he attended university to become a pharmacist, but he could not understand why he had to study Shakespeare. I tried my best to explain what a university was supposed to do. I said that a university was different to a technical training school.A university not only trains specialists but also educates students to be civilized members of society. In other words, the purpose of a university is to help students obtain knowledge and special skills, and also to maintain contact with the great minds of previous generations. If one only wants to be a mechanised savage, then they have no business studying at a university.

    This sentence is actually an example of something being unusual or remarkable. This sentence does not directly mean 'unusual' or 'remarkable', it is just an example of a situation that is. "It was out of the way for him to praise his staff" means that someone has gone or done something beyond what was normal for them. It's not very commonly used. Some more examples: "He went out of his way to help her" "She went out of her way to cook the pie" "...went out of his/her way" is more commonly used.

    That sentence is actually incorrect. You can say instead: "You worry me." or "You get me worried." or "You're worrying me."

    Although they have a similar meaning, there is a slightly different nuance here. He said you would be back. -> Implies the person came back freely. He said you should be back. -> Implies the person came back because of an obligation. Another example for you is: He would not want your juice. -> Implies that the person would not choose the juice because he doesn't like it, out of choice - i.e. He doesn't like the juice, the juice might be dirty, he might not want to share someone else's juice. He should not want your juice. -> Implies that he may want the juice but there's something that is holding him back from freely choosing, like an obligation i.e. diet, allergies, was taught not to want it / accept it etc.
