    Hey!

    In my case it's kinda the other way around. I moved to Norway 3 years ago without knowing the language, or even having been here before. I found it kinda frustrating that I didn't know the language at the time, so that's why I decided to start learning it. It's a really satisfying experience to hear and feel a language opening up as you're learning it. Slowly picking up more words and being able to use them in a real life situation right away just feels really good.

    I think because the speaker is talking about their data, not about the people or scientific fields they gathered it from. The data can be considered one single inanimate object, so you can refer to it as 'it'.

    I don't know what the context of this question is, but I'd leave out the 'value' part altogether. Sounds a bit strange, perhaps scientific to me. I'd phrase it as 'What was the temperature?' Your second option is incorrect, the word 'was' wouldn't go at the end of the sentence.

    Well, you're trying to emphasize that it's NOT the right time for something, right? So I'd say pressure the 'no' parts of these phrases.

    I'd say technically yes, but realistically I've never heard the 2nd one being used in a situation like you're describing. To me, feeling uneasy is more of a physical reaction - a gut feeling. Not having peace of mind feels more like a rational, mental reaction.

    I'm Dutch and my English has evolved from all over the place, but here is what I would use: Garden hose Racing car Fridge Mini Fridge Packed lunch for the actual food, lunch box (so the other way around) for the container it goes in.

    This is just my interpretation: the sun rising and setting is something that happens on earth, earth is the most important and central thing to human existence. I think this sentence implies that the agent thinks Sean O'Casey is the most central, perhaps the most influential person in the world of literature.

    Indroduce a conversation

    Could you help me to correct my mistakes, please ?

    Hi, nice to meet you! How are you?
    My name is Maude and I’m sixteen years old. How old are you?
    I come from Britanny, in the North-West of France. And I live near the Mont Saint Michel.
    I have been learning English for 10 years in school but I could not speak or understand it very well.
    So Now I would like to improve my pronunciation and my spoken English!
    I have two brothers and two sisters. What about you?
    I study sciences at high school. Do you have a job ? Or are you still in school?


    Hey! This is very good, there are only a few small things I would have done differently.

    If I'm not mistaken, the English name for Bretana is Brittany.

    'At' school has the implication of being in the building itself. If you mean high school education more generally you say you're in school.

    Personally, I would leave out the 'so' because it would normally refer to a reason in the same sentence. You could rephrase it to 'My spoken English isn't very good, so I would like to improve it now.'

    I don't really have a good grammatical reason for changing 'have you got' to 'do you have' - I would personally use 'have you got' for physical objects, eg.: 'have you got a pen?'

    And lastly, keep in mind that there's no space between the sentence and an exclamation or question mark. You already did this right a lot of the time though :)


    Hope this helps!

    I think 'grounded on...' refers to the partnership, because of the elaboration that follows. A partnership is a bond between multiple parties; 'Common interests' and 'shared aspirations' are both traits that apply to a group of multiple parties as well. A chapter is one, individual thing, it can't hold traits that apply to groups.

    I think it's technically correct (emphasis on 'think'), but it does look a bit off. I'd probably phrase it like: 'Although planking looks easy, it definitely isn't.'
