Le chiacchierate con Charles sono sempre molto piacevoli. Mi racconta della sua vita e del suo lavoro, mostrandomi delle foto per essere ancora più preciso, e apprezzo molto i suoi sforzi per parlare nel modo più corretto possibile. Bravo :)

    Steamed rice, dal, mashed potato, vegetable curry, fish curry, Ilish fish fry, handmade cakes, pilau, and biryani are some of the traditional foods from my area. Steamed rice, dal, mashed potato, vegetable curry, and fish curry are daily food, whereas handmade cakes are very popular in winter. Ilish fish fry is a favorite (with) almost everyone, but due to its high cost, people only try it on special occasions. Pilau and biryani are high in calories, so (they are also) mainly served on special occasions.

    Once Upon A Time...in Hollywood

    The last movie by Quentin Tarantino is yet another jewel coming from a genius who has never been interested in mainstream ways of shooting films. Tarantino still likes dealing with weird stories which, at first sight, might seem pointless or banal, but he actually develops his plot lines with a number of surprises for the viewing audience..

    Nowadays there are really very few directors who are able to put always their personal stamp on the movies they release and Quentin Tarantino is one of these. That said, I would add here that " Once Upon A Time in Hollywood" is far from his best feature film to date. Many movie critics have written that Tarantino's storytelling often seems incoherent or pointless. In my opinion, in every previous movie directed by Tarantino I never experienced the dropping off of tension. In "Once Upon A Time" I did find that to be the case. There are too many boring scenarios and the film is just too long.
    However, we are still talking about great cinema and amazing way to give to spectators different dimensions to perceive the emotions of the movie experience. To sum up, I give Tarantino a 7 out of 10 this time round.

    "Persuant to" sounds better, but it very formal and antiquated English. I would just write "In response to your letter, . . ." CHARLES, https://www.italki.com/teacher/5853252

    A. That sounds a bit strange. (or "rather strange") B. That sounds a little strange. (or "somewhat strange") C. That sounds a little bit strange (same as A, but softened with the use of "little") Americans nowadays prefer to say "kind of strange" Hope the example helps. Greetings! Teacher Charles, https://www.italki.com/teacher/5853252

    The first example is the best and the most natural sounding-- but this is obviously an example of informal, spoken English. Greetings! Teacher Charles, https://www.italki.com/teacher/5853252

    Option 1 is better in terms of sentence structure. However, the word "ambiguous" seems wrong here. It's definitely not correct word usage here. Either the idea presented here is wrong, or the writer is translating from his or her own language. A native speaker/writer of English would not say: "It is ambiguous to discuss . . ." That needs to be re-written. Greetings! Teacher Charles, https://www.italki.com/teacher/5853252 Sorry, Leonardo. Indirect speech in this example would be an example of poor English sentence structure.

    In American English I would say neither "endeavor" nor "strive" if you are referring to "pass the test at the end of the year". I would probably say "work diligently in order to pass the test at the end of the year." "endeavor" suggests a new undertaking "strive" is about working with great effort over a period of time so it seems right, but it would be more common to say "to strive for perfection" . So use "strive for " followed by an abstract noun. That's why "strive to pass" does not sound natural in English. Greetings! Teacher Charles--https://www.italki.com/teacher/5853252
