Hi, everyone I would like to Practice English here ~ 也歡迎想要學中文的朋友一起交流語言 I'm an English learner. I've worked for 7 years in electronics ODM industry as a salesperson and business management analyst. I'm interested in English and I also need to use it in my workplace so keeping sharpening it is a must for me. I also believe that to learn a lanaguage is not only to get high scores in exams but also to really use them in life through communications and interaction either in writing or speaking. That's why I'm here trying to communicate with people from all around the world to see what I've been learning really works or not. I'm an outgoing, humourous and nice person. Nice to meet you.

    "Hey" greeting in the e-mail or instant messenger ? Recently, I came across several occasions where a few people who happen not to be native speakers in English greeted me starting with "Hey". Amid the greeting words "Hi, Hello and Hey", I tend to use "Hi" quite often since it feels more moderate and more friendly/closer than "Hello". Relatively speaking, to my perception, "Hi" shows a closer relationship with the one whom you speak with than "Hello". As for the "Hey", my understanding is that it isn't so polite or appropriate to greet someone with "Hey" to commence a conversation in the e-mail or instant messenger and even in real face-to-face conversation when you are not very familiar with the one you are talking to. I just found it not polite (actually rude). Is my interpretation of the use of "Hey" in the above context appropriate? Thanks

    thank you Andrew. I guess that Given the prices "to be put" on the website, it means it plans to take place (will be happening)...another meaning apart from the previous two cases.

    the use of "being + participle" and "particple" ?? 1. Given the prices now "being put" on the website,.... (ps. this is the original sentence from journalism) 2. Given the prices now "put" on the website,.... (ps. this is how I would usually write) Could anyone help shed light on the difference in meanings here between the use of "being put" and "put" ? And how to properly use " Noun + being + participle" or " Noun + particple" ?? I always use the latter. It seems the former one emphasizes an "action occurring at the moment when being written"? Many thanks !!

    "最烦那个什么"... I don't know where you see this phrase which seem not to be structurally sensible in Chinese syntax. I assume its originally intended meaning might be "什么最烦?"(What's the most annoying thing?) or "什么讓妳最烦?"(What annoys you most?) Basically, "烦" can stand for two meanings 1. annoying 2. worrying i.e. 你/他 好烦 (You are/He is so annoying)...You feel irritated about someone. i.e. 煩惱(worry)/ 這件事好煩(this thing makes me so worried)/ 我覺得好煩 (I feel so worried.) Hope this can be of help. :)

    What is the expression "You beat me"? About 10 years ago, I heard the expression "You beat me" used in non-literal way; if my perception was correct, they should mean "Your argument or action are too good/outstanding/weird for me to say something further. For instance, I'm having an argument with a friend in order to justify the point or an issue I advocate...All of a sudden, he brings up a so convincing point against my argument that I become "speechless". On this kind of occasion, may I say "hey~ you beat me. You're right in this."?

    Holy Smoke ? I heard that Bruce Welli - the leading actor in the film ,"The Kids" - used this expression "Holy Smoke" many times. Is this a common usage in US? Apart from that, is there any similar expressions I can use to express "Surprise !!" or "Something you can't believe happens".Hi, Domasala...thank you for sharing the further information on this. It's a very interesting point to know. I'll try to make up some while being with friends. ^_^ => Anything "holy" that would sound absurd (/impossible) will do. Just try it yourself. Hi, Domasla....sorry for the misspelling of your username in the previous post. ^^'' Hi, Toffler......thank you for the correction. I did't catch the word well, and it should be "Holy SmokeS !!"

    Exclamation & Jesus ? I hear that, on some occasions, people would use "Jesus Christ !!" to express their stunning, astounding and surprising feelings. In this regard, I was once told by a native speaker that this kind of usage might be somewhat offensive to some religious people. Is this true? For an English learner who is not yet to be adequately sensible to British/American or Christian culture, what's your advice as to whether, in public, an English learner can use "Jesus Christ" to express a surprising feeling since I don't think I'm able to deal with that kind of delicate social engagement regarding what time, what occasion to use is the best or appropriate?I would like to regard the following 2 points very useful to me. Also, with the feedback from them, I'll try not to use them to avert unnecessary troubles since I'm not a local, and it's always better to pay much more respect towards various groups of another culture which you're not so familiar with. From domsla: Of course there always could be others around, taking offence. You never know. You should be careful not to use them. I don't use any. Not necessary. Just keep yourself under control. From Romulus: but considered to be disrespectful to some Christians, especially the Catholic. Thank you guys !!

    "precondition" ? I looked it up in Oxford Dictionary; it dedicates "precondition" is used in written English. I am wondering if there is any colloquial words having the similar meaning.
