Profile
I took four semesters of French in college a few years back; however, due to the lack of practice, my French is a bit rusty. I need to master my language to the level of fluency. I have MA in English Literature from California State University, Sacramento. My interests include composition, poetry, and education. Current employment: teaching first-year college composition at CSU, Sacramento.

    My New Vocabulary for Today: Part 89

    Hi, I'm trying to make some sentences using the new vocabulary I learnt today. (both ways, learnt and learned are acceptable; however, Modern Standard English usually employs 'learned').
    If there are any grammar mistakes and/or weird word choices, please correct them. Thanks.

    1) Perception is one of the functions of the brain.

    2) This computer utilizes an irrelevant ways.  (utilizes what? Data? your sentence doesn't have an object: The computer utilizes irrelevant data (?)  The computer utilizes data in irrelevant ways (?))

    3) I divided my mail into two folders: unsolicited and solicited. 

    4) This project entails more feasible ideas.

    5) Don't say that in such an imperative voice.

    6) My shortcoming is that I use too much jargon.

    7) Your appraisal is going to be felt if you fail any strenuous efforts. - doesn't really make sense. 

    8) The power grid loses power from time to time.

    9) I'm sure that those particles of sand come from a different province.

    10) I have found a tremendous way to mitigate those effects.

    11) I scuttled from this country when the economy had taken a downturn.

    12) You should change oil filters every other time you change the oil.

    13) You should change the engine oil either every six months or after 5000km - whichever comes first.

    They absolutely do; however, a more of slang version would be (depending on the context): to take apart, to pull down, to knock down, and so on.

    Learning English from Spain: I would like to travel to England

    Hello!! My name is Gabriel, and I am 30 years old. I want to learn English and to practice it. I come from the south-east of Spain. I live in a small city where I cannot practice my English because I do not have enough time. My hobbies are: listening to music, and traveling. I love traveling, and I would like to go to England and US.

    I am looking for native English speakers.
    Thank´s for reading my note :)

    Varangians: the overseas guests

    According to "The Tale of Bygone Years," the first Russian historical document, Slavonic tribes invited Varangians (which is the old name of the residents of Scandinavia) to govern their land. "Our country is big and rich, but there is no order. Come here and govern us as our Kings" (a quote from "The Tale of Bygone Years"). 
    Three brothers came to rule the land of Slavs. The older brother, Rurik, became the sole ruler of the Novgorod. The prince Sineus reigned over Belo Ozero ( Today the city is called Belozersk). And the younger brother, Truvor; governed Izborsk. These Varangians' lands were called Rus'. Hence, this is the origin of Russia and the etymology of the country's name.

    Correct me, please.)

    A Wish-List

    Today is the 17th of December, and it is only a few moments left until the New Year. I have one peculiar tradition - every year I make a bucket-list of 100 things which I want to accomplish next year. It doesn’t mean that I want too much, it is an excellent practice to reflex upon your true desires to understand them. First, I often write something that I think I want, but those things are usually a result of marketing campaigns that force people to buy stuff. It usually becomes much harder to come up with a fresh idea after 40 entries, so I start to write my sincere wishes. When I complete my list, I pack it into an envelope and save it for next December. Those wishes which are very important to me, I turn into a photo collage and hang above my desk, on my dress cupboard. Every December I open that envelope, read it, and analyze which of them came true) This year I have also decided to write a list of 100 'thank-you' notes) #moreфон2018
