Native Romanian, mechanical engineer. I've been speaking English for ten years and German for about 2 (I've been using it on a professional level for almost 1 yr). With that being said, I'm looking forward to having a chat and offer help while being helped.

    <em>Abominations</em> is a spot-on description for these phenomena, Doug. Great article!

    Hi Sarah! "He gave it a five count" - from the context, he counted to five in order to avoid making a hasty decision. "it’s my call" = I am the one to decide/It's my decision. I hope this helps!

    Hi Marion. 

    Your original text does not contain many grammar mistakes, but a lot of stylistic and phrase errors (so that at times it is not very clear what you meant), so I took the liberty of editing your text in order to convey, what I believe you meant to convey. Please note that in the text below much of my personal written expression style will shine through, meaning it is by no means a guideline, it is - just as stated above - a reformulation of your essay that does away with the previous errors. 

    I hope it helps

    P.S You are also welcome to book a trial English lesson with me, should you ever feel the need to :)


    I have been interested in crop improvement for many years and I've set up my studies such, that I will become a plant breeder. I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in biology and agricultural sciences at "Grandes écoles”, having already passed the entrance examination.  I can really be passionate about my occupation, provided I enjoy it. I admit to being flawed, but so are we all. Criticism is not something I take well right away, but I do eventually take it into consideration and change my ways. In the same vein, I do not particularly enjoy working in a team, due to unpleasant experiences of doing so during my studies. In the light of this I chose to work together with people of very different backgrounds and approaches, thus I understood how helpful exchange experiences can be. <o:p></o:p>

    On another note, I have been playing rugby since I was four years old, which has helped me build a capacity for teamwork, as every match is a collective effort. I play as a “prop”, which entails having specific functions on the pitch. <o:p></o:p>

    Furthermore, I am no stranger to working under pressure. Having carried through numerous projects during my studies has taught me the value of organization and showed me that pressure can also be a great motivator. I would also like to draw attention to my activity as an administrative employee for the wheat campaign. In doing so my duties were receiving the farmers who were selling wheat and overseeing the stocking process. <o:p></o:p>

    On yet another note, I enjoy writing novels. In such an endeavor I was pleased to write a short story for the Crous competition, on the topic of revolution. The jury’s decision on my essay is still outstanding, since the deadline was as recently as the 15<sup>th</sup> of March. I am mentioning the above, given the important role the ability to write will have in publishing articles during my career.  <o:p></o:p>

    Thank you for reading my letter.

    Hi Bean. Such phrases are called idioms. Here's the definition of the word slang, cited from Wikipedia : "Slang is (the) language (words, phrases, and usages) of an informal register that members of particular in-groups favor (over a standard language) in order to establish group identity, exclude outsiders, or both." As for the meaning of the idiom you mentioned, here's an excerpt from Urban Dictionary: "it takes one to know one This means that no one is better at finding a wrongdoer than another wrongdoer. " Here's an example I just made up: - You're a despicable thief, Brynjolf! - It takes one to know one, lad. I hope this helped. Regards, Bogdan

    New trousers

    Dear Madam,

    I received my trousers which I have recently bought at your shop. Unfortunately, I'm not very satisfied with the quality and I'm going to  explain why.  
    First of all, the trousers are not in good condition: the colour is faded, the buttons fell off and they shrank a lot when I washed them. Now they are half the original size.
    Because of the aforementioned defects, I would like to return them. I'm open to any solution be it exchanging them for a new pair or getting a refund. Do you have any suggestions?  (it is not clear what you're referring to, suggestion regarding what?)

    Kind regards

    I hope it helps. Good job!

    Hi Elena! I assume you want to express dismissal of a specific action, for instance - hitting random people in the face. You may do that (expressing dismissal that is) with the help of the verb "object to" ( please take note of the particle "to"), i.e. "I object to hitting random people in the face". If the object of your sentence is already known from context (hitting random people in the face) you could just replace it with "that", i.e "I object to that". The same goes for being against something.

    Hi Jack. All sentences but the second are correct and sound natural. In the case of sentence no. 2 you should mention what you frequented. Kind Regards, Bogdan

    Hi Ekaterina! 

    Die richtige Anwendung ist in diesem Fall "fünften" und so spricht es man auch aus, mit lautem N am Ende. 


    Gruß
