    Wow! I think it is a very good sentence. It is poetic. Your use of metaphor to conjure meaning and emotion is excellent.

    This is a difficult question. Could you provide more information? What are you trying to say?

    This is a difficult question to answer. Could you please give some extra context because my best guess is that we would use phrases such as: sucking up to over solicitous fawning (verb) It was painful to watch Trevor fawning over Angela at the party. Hope this helps.

    I would say that "How come?" is less formal than "Why?". In an interview or business meeting, for example, you would ask "Why?" rather than "How come?" as it translates a more respectful or traditional in tone.

    Wow! What a difficult question this is to answer. Both of the sentences are correct but the difference in employing the word 'quite' is a nuance added for either a positive or negative reaction to the speech which is dependent on the tone used. Applying either a negative or positive tone to the word 'quite' will indicate whether the speaker was impressed by the speech or not. More usually, in English usage "It was quite a remarkable speech" would indicate a positive endorsement of what has been said.

    That looks like a great answer to me. You have pointed out the main reason for not having smartphones in lectures. A secondary point could be made that other students and the teacher are entitled to a certain level of privacy within the classroom environment and visual recording devices such as smartphones, compromise that privacy.

    Hi Sara, I read your request and just wanted to clarify what it is you wanted. Do you want to improve your speaking skill and your accent? I can help you with your accent. I am British and have a clear neutral accent. I can also help you with your listening skills but it can help to spend more time attuning yourself to the language sounds in your spare time. Is it possible that you enjoy Pop music from the United States and the United Kingdom? Try singing along, practice forming the words with your mouth get used to the physical delivery of the language. I hope this helps a little bit. Please don't get frustrated it will take a little time to improve. If you would like to book a lesson with me, I would be happy to help you. Marianne

    This is a difficult question and the meaning of the active and passive is quite nuanced. "I will tell him" would be sufficient for passing on a message from a third party with whom you do not know or do not have a close relationship with. "He will be told by me" would indicate that the message is upsetting or intimate and that the speaker must be the only one to pass the message on. For example, "Richard's work must improve or he will be fired." "Ok, but he will be told by me." It is not really a phrase that is used all the time but I hope this helps clarifies the difference.

    I have been teaching Maths to international students for 12 months. My retention rate is very good, in fact, I am still teaching one of the students I started with. I am really looking forward to teaching for years to come.
