I am looking for younger students (children) to help with English and natural speaking. For adults, I am interested in helping students looking to study in English or even travel for work to an English speaking country. I can provide extra support at a low hourly rate for English Language test preparation, especially oral language and conversation preparation.

Next lesson, we'll go through dialogues for あげる、もらう、くれる and continue on with more grammar structures that utilise the てform. Also please work on remembering the verb conjugations! :P

    Kai, I believe we need more information to answer this question. In different contexts, each sentence could be used, especially if it is part of a conversation. The sentences seem to be missing something. "Maybe she just thought about what she wanted rather than what we all need to be thinking about right now, just to test us". or "Maybe she just thought of what she wanted as the goal for the group, rather than making a group decision to suit us all, just to test our patience with her". I have tried to give a more authentic context, however it may be different to what you have in mind.

    He is being unfair. He is being unfair to me. It is unfair. "Unfair' needs a verb to go with it.

    "I am sorry please" is not correct. "I am sorry. Please forgive me / Please excuse me" are correct. You could say, "Please excuse me". Alternatively "Excuse me. Please may I ....(whatever the request is)". Please is a request to the other person about your own action. Please excuse, please forgive, please pass me the, etc

    Mariam, this sounds natural and clear as it is. An alternative is: After his suggestion at the 1936 II Congress of Psychiatrists and Neuropathologists to exempt psychopathic persons from criminal responsibility, he was accused of counter-revolutionary activity, even despite his outstanding achievements in the Soviet study of forensic psychiatry. I think both work. The option connects his action (suggestion) and the response (accusation) together. It depends on the preceding and trailing sentences. In some ways I would err towards the way I suggest, but this gets down to context and personal choice of expression and writing style. This way, the "Despite outstanding...." clause is placed in a trailing position of secondary contribution to the main point of the sentence. This sounds like a very interesting subject!

    (this suggestions is for English learning purposes) Perhaps... People's Daily just turned a blind eye to the 14 year-old boy who was shot in the chest by a real bullet and the girl who was blinded by a shot to the head, as well as so much other brutality that the police committed. In that case, you can imagine how the Party-owned media behind the Great Firewall bias the ppl with their reports.

    Yes you need to include "to". Also, please be careful about the apostrophe and plurals. "Which butcher's did you go to?" could mean "Which butcher's shop did you got to?" This is only one butcher's shop. OR "Which butcher's shops did you go to?" means you went to several butcher's shops. It is better to ask "Which butcher did you go to?" for only one/singular, or instead ask "Which butcher's shop did you go to?" Same for ...florist's shop. "Which florist did you go to?"

    They did not have any steak. Steak is sold by weight, so you buy 2 kilograms of steak (plural is within the kilograms). Sometimes you buy for example three pieces of steak, but generally you would not ask for 3 steaks. Why did you go to the butcher's shop in main street? or Why did you go to the butcher's shop along the main street? When the street is called Main Street, you can say: Why did you go to the butcher's in Main Street?

    Yes it sounds like a monitoring system for a train driver. The 15 s. 13 s and 4s are all s for seconds. Hold down at most for 15 seconds...

    I back the observation made by Jenny M. Something else like "our products", or "our luxurious products" is needed than "they". Advertising descriptions aim to be inclusive in its language, to attract your attention and include you. "our products" is persuasive because you feel like you are sharing the products of the company with the consumer.

    This is a tricky one to answer because it depends on what you want to say, and different versions of English have different expressions around this. Firstly "off" has a double meaning. It can mean to leave, or it can mean that you are a little sick. "At what time are you planning to knock off today?" is more natural. Now "off" refers to signing off on a timesheet, traditionally a mechanical punch card. This goes with the expression "knock off work" (leave), and "time off work" to be away from work. Older English did use "be off with you" or "be gone with you", to ask someone to leave. Now, you can say in the moment "I will (I'll) be off now" to say you are leaving. It is used sometimes. A person could say "off" about themselves, but to ask another person you would ask at what time they plan to leave. Adam
