Writing Homework (I'm not sure what this second word was meant to be?) 

My sister is my twin but we aren't identical. Her name is Crisner Betancor. Her name comes from the union of two names; Cristóbal and Nerio. Yes, from the film (UK) / movie (US) Twilight. We have light brown skin, (we have - repetition not necessary here) green eyes, brown hair, and small noses. She works as a gardener near home.

We have a dog whose name is Thor OR We have a dog.  His name is Thor. He's a very good pet. He's small, and his colour is black and brown. He has brown eyes. He is very clever.  He always urinates in the street, never in my house.  

(A more natural alternative to the above sentence would be "He's a small black and brown dog".)

I have a boyfriend. His name is Daniel Ventura, yes, the same as the character Ice Ventura. He is a coach of children in team fútbol Acodetti. He is taller than me.  He has big brown eyes, the same as chocolate, and short brown hair.

(A more natural alternative to two sentences above:  "He's a childrens' football coach"

                                                                                               "He has big brown eyes, like chocolate") 

I hope that is helpful Desiree.  I am currently offering trial lessons for 5$ if you would like to practise speaking your English :) 

No obligation of course! 

Hi Laura, The meaning of this phrase (in this context), is that more and more people became interested in Baba Bhang's approach to temporal happiness. This phrase could be used to apply to a singular person, but is more commonly used to describe a 'group effect'. I hope you have understood my answer. Best wishes, Charlotte

Hi Lavanya, Here is the correction, as I would word it: My day was fine. I watched a film called 'Secret' in the afternoon but fell asleep for an hour while watching it. After that, I had lunch and studied my phrase book for a while. Later, I did a little English practice using scripting techniques. I built some scripts on my own. Then I went to an (my) aerobics class, where I worked out for an hour without any break. It really was a big ('busy' might work better here) day! That's how my day was.

Hi Louise, "voices its strong opposition" is a native phrase, and makes sense in the context you have written it here. "In other words" links two sentences that essentially mean the same thing. Often the second sentence will be a simpler way of stating the first. Therefore, whilst it's totally understandable in the context you've used it here, I don't think it's the most appropriate phrase as the second sentence offers a partial explanation: 2.Another reason is that exams can easily lead to students' phychological problems. Students face fierce competition and suffer from great pressure. In my opinion, this works better without that phrase. An example of using 'In other words' might be "These were people who fought for money – mercenaries, in other words."

The short answer is that there isn't a great deal of difference. Pretty and Quite are less formal. "I'm pretty sure we were meant to be going that way ... " "I'm quite hungry" Rather and Fairly are more formal. "I'm rather hungry" "I'm fairly sure we were meant to be going that way ... "
