In the last session of our package, we dove into the finer details of hematology. A very interesting conversation--there are several pending questions that would be great to explore in future sessions. Until next time, sir!
Profile
I have always been in contact with the English language since my childhood. My father is an English Music listener. My aunt is an English teacher. Besides, I grew up by playing English video games and finally started studying it at age 23. Though I finished my regular course, I keep studying on my own.

A very productive session! We extracted useful phrases from a spoken story, discussed the different uses of 'terminate/end/finish,' and set the goal of analyzing 'speak/say/tell' for next session.

Raphael is inquisitive, enthusiastic and willing to go the extra mile to grasp new concepts. I anticipate that we will get a lot done working together!
Activities
- Working on a Saturday Hi fellows! I have not been writing down anything here for a couple of months due to my busy life. However, I had better practice my English abilities somewhere, otherwise I will grow rusty and even stuck on the matter of writing. Here are my notes: I do not usually work on saturdays unless I have to do extra activity with my boss and the rest of my partners. I am working today because of a different reason: my partner has a sore arm and his doctor gave her strict orders not to work in the next two days. Since I am her supervisor, I had to find a way to replace her on her shift. She works every Saturday from 7am to Sunday 7am, that is, a twenty-hour shift in a hospital. Obvious as it must be, it is not easy to find someone among her partners to substitute her. It ended up I came to work instead her. Surprisingly, a team member asked whether he could work on the night shift (from Saturday 7pm to Sunday 7am). 'Of course yes', I said. Though I will have to arrange a day off to him further, I accepted his request. So, I will keep working by his coming at 7pm. Would any native fellow correct my text?May 4, 201920

She have to get good grades, doesn't she?
She must get good grades, mustn't she / must she not? (Is it correct?)
She might be prone of an infection because of this medicine, mightn't she / might she not ? (Is it correct?)
We shall not obey the rebels, shall we?
We shall obey the teachers, shall we not?
Can someone help me to use modals in tag questions?

TO PUT UP WITH - to tolerate or accept an unpleasant situation or person without complaining. Example: The Oliveira family is about to leave home to celebrate Vic's birthday in the new restaurant of the city. However, it seems there is something wrong happening. - Hey mom! Jacob's wearing my new jacket! - the oldest son Luke yelled. - Jacob! How long shall I PUT UP WITH this situation? Your brother's clothes are way bigger than yours! Why don't you PUT your new Jeans Jacket ON? - spoke Mrs. Oliveira while she was wearing her earrings. - But mommy! Luke's jacket are more stylish than mine! - replied the little Jacob. - I won't speak again Jacob! Give him back Luke's jacket or PUT it AWAY. We are running out of time! As Mrs.Oliveira turned back to the living room, she saw Adam playing videogame and realized he had still not had a shower and rebuked him. He quickly stood up and pointed out the clock on the wall saying: - It's still 5pm! By the way, Luke and Jacob were having a shower! That was why I PUT OFF! - replied Adam. - This clock's been broken since 5am in the morning and it's almost 6pm! I don't want to PUT you OFF, but if you are not ready in 10 minutes, we will leave you behind! - Mrs. Oliveira rebuked the worried son. When she went into the kitchen to check if the birthday cake was okay, she saw Vic lighting the candles and cried out to her: - Hey Vic! PUT OUT these candles! We are not going to celebrate your birthday now! Wait for the restaurant time! PUT the cake IN the car! Now the telephone rang. Luke, the oldest, answered it and shouted from the top of the stairs: - Mom! Daddy'd like to talk with you! My dear, PUT him THROUGH to me by the kitchen's phone - ordered the busy mother. - Hi sweetheart! I am going to delay! It's been a tough day! I guess I'll just be free after 9pm. - said Mr.Oliveira to his wife. - Oh darling... What happened? - said Mrs.Oliveira. - Nothing that special. Work, work, work. I think we'll not come to the pizzeria on time. What about going to the VEGGI's? It's still open after 9pm. As the matter of fact, all the family has been PUTTING ON more than normal.March 1, 201941
