    Advertising is as old as human EXISTENCE. THE Art of adVERTISING STARTED in Ancient Greece and Rome. This type of advertising WAS ORIGINALLY "word of mouth" AND ALSO people avertised political slogans ON WALLS or rock paintingS. THE NEXT step for ADVERTISING WAS with printing. PEOPLE started to print handbills and newspapers. Avertisment has become an individual. (What does this last sentence mean??) In the twentieth centry advertisments became more creative and more intresting. Now adverts open up new ways of promoting products. Companies use radio, TV and the Internet TO MARKET THEIR GOODS AND Famous people ARE involved in commercials. New adverts are just part of the conversation. Brands are working with publishers to create content. It's a new world. I hope that is helpful. Try to use sentence connectors (and, but, so, because...). It's extremely important for the fluidity of your writing. Josie

    ""aiming to not overly burden the users...." or "hoping to not overly burden...." or "designed to not overly burden the users" are better suggestions. We use "aim at" with nouns to mean 'directed at', for example "She's aiming at the window with her gun" or "that comment was directly aimed at the prime minister". We also use 'aim for' with nouns to mean 'trying to achieve', for example "I'm aiming for the director position next year" or "she is aiming for a promotion" or "we're aiming for the mountain summit". I hope this has been helpful! Josie

    Hi ! In this context support is uncountable because it's not from a specific, single place... "the green party won overwhelming support from their voters", or "there was overwhelming support from the fans at the concert". But it's possible to use support as a countable noun in the following situations... "you have been such a great support, thank you mum" or "my family has really been a wonderful support during this time of difficulty". I hope this helps ! Josie

    Hi Maha, That's not a simple question! It really depends on your mother tongue, the individual problems you have with English and also your willingness to learn and the amount of time you dedicate to studying in your free time. Many teachers have different methods but generally we all work on the specific student weaknesses with reference to their native language and eventually, working as a team, we can produce a fluent student :-) !

    hi Moabe ! if you want conversation classes with a teacher or tutor you can find one on the 'find a teacher' page. But if you are looking for language exchange then find someone in the community who wants to learn your language and you can swap knowledge! All the best :-)

    Hello Quianquian! It depends on what you are trying to say... To 'go through' something (phrasal verb) means to revise or scan. e.g.. "I need to go through the book and underline the phrasal verbs". So it's possible to say "I'll go through the website to see if there are any editorial mistakes"....But ONLY in this context. If what you want to say is not in this context, perhaps you mean "use a website" or "log onto a website" or "subscribe to a website" or "connect to a website" or simply "go to a website". It depends on the context once again. Try to be more specific when you ask a question so it's easier for us to help you. All the best!

    Hello !! 'things' is a Countable noun and is used in a variety of situations both formal and informal.... "i've got a few things to do today", "he said all the wrong things in the interview", "there are several things that I left at home". 'stuff' is an Uncountable noun that we use in very informal situations only with friends and family... "loads of stuff", "i've got to do some stuff today", "don't forget your school stuff!". VERY INFORMAL. I would avoid using stuff where possible, and certainly not in written English. English is a very rich language and there are plenty more intelligent words to use as a replacement ! I hope this has been helpful :-)

    Hello Morteza. The paragraph is not very well written with some mistakes with grammar, spelling and vocabulary. Not very conducive to learning! But this is what I believe those phrases mean: 'finely detailed' means intricately designed and decorated. 'solid, travel industry gold' means solid gold within the travel industry. something rare and precious. the final sentence is badly written but I think they want to say that a hotel is opening and is going to gain recognition as the first international standard hotel in Bhutan. 'be set to' means 'plans to'. 'capitalise on' means 'to make money from'. I hope this helps!

    we use the French word and say "cliche" with the same pronunciation as the French. There are lots of examples of French words that we borrow e.g: Encore! , serviette, bain marie, bon appetite, creme brûlée, blancmange etc...) We sometimes even use voila! Usually where there is no direct translation in English. Hope this was helpful!

    "It's too bad (that) I'm not able to make time this week." This sentence expresses your feeling of disappointment that you can't make time this week. It's a personal feeling of sorrow or shame that you can't do something. "I'm afraid (that) I'm not able to make time this week." This sentence is giving an apology to someone because you will not be able to make time this week. It is not linked to personal feeling or disappointment. good luck!
