Profile
I started a project to learn French properly at the beginning of 2019, after not having much more than a typical US high school-level. My hobbies include piano, violin, and cooking. My interests include history, science and technology, and art. On occasion, I like to do small woodworking or electronics projects, but I don't often get the chance, partly because I don't have many of the tools in my small apartment.

Excellent travail de Andrew à l’oral (en plus de son texte très intéressant dans le registre fantastique) qui m’a expliqué quasiment sans erreur non seulement son projet d’ingénierie optique, mais également les difficultés d’ordres managériales et relationnelles auxquelles il doit faire face ! Chapeau 🙌

Andrew tente pas mal de choses à l’écrit et même si ça génère des erreurs, ce qui n’est pas du tout un problème puisque ce ne sont jamais les mêmes, cela lui permet de trouver le plus souvent des angles de vue et des formulations originales.

    The three phrases are used in different contexts. I might miss a few possible meanings, but I'll do my best. It's gone - This typically means either something already left, like "my mother is already gone, so I'll need to call her cell phone to speak to her", or that something is missing when you look for it, like "My wallet is gone!". Sometimes it's used as part of an expression to say an opportunity is no longer available, like "that job offer is long gone". It's over - On its own, this implies something with a particular duration in time is finished. Examples could be a romantic relationship, a television show, or the term of a politician. Usually, when said on its own, and emphatically, it's to mean either a relationship or project will no longer continue. For example, an angry spouse might yell "it's over" before starting divorce proceedings. I ran out of something - This implies that you normally, or used to have something, and used it or gave it away until there was none left. For example, "The baker ran out of flour because he baked it all into bread." "The car ran out of gas on a long trip." "I ran out of reasons to love you!" "I ran out of money after being unemployed for so long." There could be some overlap with the situation in which you say "it's gone". However, if something was stolen, or misplaced, you would probably not use "I ran out of it", but you could use "it's gone".

    Writing Exercise, day 10

    Dear,
    You need to act fast. She needs your help quickly. Since no one went with her, she is lonely on the island, and she is lost. She realized she was wrong to go alone, but I'm sure you know that. Where is she? You must know where this place is. Please help her! You owe her your life and you know why!
    I'm waiting for your reply, but if you are smart, you will go there now.
    Be good to her.
    Best regards,

    1) I would say this sounds natural, but it's really just a fragment of a sentence, so context might have an effect. It might be more direct to say "without you". 2) I would find it more natural to use a different word than "people", or maybe avoid that word entirely. For example, "You better not stand out from the crowd", "You had better not stand out from the crowd", "You had better not stand out" I'm not sure how the British/American English difference might affect either of those.

    3) If you say "I like raining", it sounds like the speaker themselves is doing the raining, instead of the sky or weather doing the raining. I would say "I like when it rains", but I think your alternatives work. 4) I would personally say "the cold", "cold weather", or "when it's cold out" instead of just "cold" when talking about weather instead of the general sensation of feeling cold. 5) "Yes, I like the cold. It makes it more comfortable to wear warm clothes." 7) "Today, it's windy and sunny". The question was about the weather and not the day, so I prefer to say "it's" to refer to the weather itself. I think "It's windy and sunny today" is probably more common. 9) I think this is a typo. It should be: "OK. Let's go"

    It was delicious. While we ate it, we enjoyed talking about memories infrom high school.
    I value a friendly relationships with them, so I'd like to hold reunion parties like this again.

    Valentine day in America

    My Valentine's Day was good. I wanted to make our Valentine's Day memorable for my wife, because she has sacrificed for my studies after coming to America. She has been trying to support me. I really appreciate her support.

    In order to make a memorable Valentine's Day for us, I went to Kroger, and bought Godiva chocolates, paper, and Korean noodles, because she likes to eat noodles. I seriously wrote a letter, and placed all the things on her desk. It was kind of a surprise. She didn’t notice that I had already prepared gifts for her.

    After finishing her class, she went back to our home. At that time, I pretended to make a appointment with my neighbor. Then, I left from my home while she was noticing my gift in her room. She sent me a text message. "It was so impressive", she said. She was crying, even though it was not a big event. Still, I’m so happy to please her. It was a memorable first Valentine's Day in America.

    My important appliances

    I am going to move to a new house, so I need a plan to buy some things. My clothes need be ironed frequently, so I will buy a clothes iron. I live in a tropical country, so a fridge is needed to keep food fresh. I usually go to the gym, so I need a scale to check my weight everyday. After taking a bath, my hair gets wet; It makes me annoyed, so I need a hair dryer. Fruit-juice is wonderful, so I need a blender. It's not easy to clean the inside of the air conditioner, so I need to buy a stepladder. I sometimes have visitors who come my house, so I need an electric kettle to boil water quickly. Contaminated water is very harmful, so I need a water purifier. Finally, I need a stove to cook every day.
