Activities
- Read classic novels (Aldous Huxley, Hemmingway or Henry David Thoreau), write something about a topic you have limited knowledge of (like astronomy?), watch BBC planet earth with David Attenborough, and use a word of the day calander. These methods will add a variety of specific vocab, that you may not have seen before. Also, relax and enjoy yourself :)0 votedAugust 7, 20200
- Hello Ghazal, Following on from the previous comment by Mohammad. I don't think 'diminish' is more or less formal than 'reduce'. I do find that people use 'diminish' when describing something immeasurable that has lost value or become weaker, rather than lost size. For example, "his reputation has diminished since he filed for bankruptcy". Likewise, 'reduce' is used to describe things that are measurable in size. You can use diminish when talking about size and this should be signalled to the reader (eg. "His bank account has diminished in size/reduced since he filed for bankruptcy"). If you had some examples of when you would like to use it, I can help. An obligation is an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound to do, a duty or commitment. There is still a hint that you have the free will to not do it, but that would come with some repercussions. Usually you have agreed to this but not always. I'll use it in a few sentences. "I am obligated to follow the law", "A: Hey, can you come to the movies tonight? B: Sorry I can't, I am obligated to go to my sister's birthday party" and "I have an obligation to the shareholders of this company to make a profit". If you are forced, then you have absolutely no choice. There is no option for you to have free will. "I was forced to give my wallet to the robber". There is not really a difference between 'here we go' and 'there we go'. Mohammad is correct in saying that 'here we go' implies the beginning of an action but 'there we go' would only be used in very limited circumstances and doesn't signify the end of an action. 'There we go' as in 'over there' , would be if you were looking at yourself on a video or in a picture. For example, if you were showing someone a video of a graduation and said "There we go, you can see us in the background". 'Here we go' is more like something happening presently or the commission of an action (eg. "Here we go, starting on this adventure to Canada.")0 votedMay 13, 20200
- Well done! A few corrections, nothing major. 1) He won't hesitate to stab you in the back after you make your first tiny mistake. 2) If you're as sharp as a tack, then it won't be complicated for you to do this but it's always easier said than done. 3) I found it hilarious when she told her child off for that small prank. 4) Hang in there, I know what it's like to live with such a filthy person. 5) Look on the bright side, at least we aren't freezing.0 votedApril 30, 20200
- 1917 Film ReviewI have written two reviews of the film, one in an objective formal writing style and the other in an informal writing style. I would appreciate any corrections you could make!1917 Film Review (Neutral tone) :1917 is a war film that is based upon a story from World War I (WWI), where two of the British soldiers were commanded to complete a mission to deliver a message to the leader of one of the British army divisions, consisting of 1600 soldiers. The aim of the mission was to prevent the division from moving further into the enemy territory or forming anymore attacks, since the enemy had preempted their attack and were poised to counterattack and completely wipe out the entire British army division. The main actors' performance is quite realistic, and the cinematography is astonishing. The war scenes describe the battles of WWI with the maximum detailing and realism. The film also points out the hierarchy of army orders at this time, which was incredibly difficult to manage considering there was no real-time communication between the divisions and the army leaders. Thus, the army divisions were working like isolated islands and had no real collaboration among them.1917 Film Review (Informal tone):In my opinion, this is one of the best movies that has ever come to big screen. It tells us one of the most heroic stories of World War I. I really enjoyed watching it from the first minute to the latest minute. The story is about two soldiers from British army who were ordered to deliver a message to an army division leader in order to stop an imminent attack on the German enemy. The Germans had preempted the attack and had already planned a trap for them, if they executed it. They would have completely destroyed the British army division, which consisted of 1600 soldiers. The performance of the actors was so awesome and the style of filming is totally fascinating. The war scenes were incredibly violent and realistic, like it’s as if the war is really happening in front of you. Final point, the way of transmitting messages through the army at that time was pretty hard job, which meant, sending two soldiers passing through enemies territory to deliver a message. Can you imagine how hard that must have been?! I would give this movie a 10/10 score.0 votedApril 21, 20200
