Another way? We are going to do this thing and we don't care what happens as a result. We know there are risks involved in doing something and we are willing to take those risks and we are not worried about the risks, they are not going to have a significant affect on the outcome. I hope that gives a clear idea of the expression. We are going to cut down this tree with an ax and every time we swing the ax we cut the tree and make wood chips and we are going to go ahead and cut down the tree and we don't care where the wood chips fall, the tree will be cut down, regardless of all the wood chips. The expression came from cutting wood.

"Need" comes from old English and it meant "violence" or "force" when it was first used. "Require" comes from Latin and it meant "seek", "ask repeatedly for". Today the meanings of both words are very close. He is injured and needs medical attention. He is injured and requires medical attention. We all need food and shelter. A visa is not required to visit South Korea but I need to show my passport. "Require" expresses necessity and "need" expresses urgent want. I need a better Internet connection. A password is required to log-in. Good question!

T-shirt because it looks like the letter T. They became popular during and after World War Two when American military men wore them openly, not under another shirt. They were usually worn under a shirt, which is more formal, a dress shirt, a sport shirt, shirts for business, military uniforms or more official occasions. That is what a shirt is. But after the war Americans started wearing them with no other shirt over them. Blouse is usually for a woman. Amul from United Kingdom gave some good photos of blouses. There are many names for the clothing Americans wear, especially women. Blouse is just one word. There are many more. If you are interested in fashion and all the different names of the clothing, you should so some more research. Good luck to you!

Ago = in the past. I was living in China a year ago. I went to Hong Kong about a year and a half ago. How long ago did you start to study English? I was young long ago, now I'm old. Before = sooner than something else; earlier in time than some other event or happening. I want to see you again before I leave. Before I visit China again I need to get a visa. I lived in America before I lived in China. I was young before I got old. Good luck to you!

So you wouldn't have wanted to be in Colonel Blood's shoes when he got caught for the most daring crime of his day: trying to steal the crown jewels from the tower of London. Oh, I can't look. The proud mastermind behind a crime of such dastardly daring as to truly befit a king. ... had to cut the scepter in half to get it into the bag... ... the sovereign orb is a little bit dented and probably a little bit sweaty... Good luck to you!

1. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=one+track+mind 2. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=grow+up+on+the+wrong+side+of+the+tracks We see that it can't be defined in the Urban Dictionary. Be careful when using this dictionary; it's not always accurate and can get you into trouble. To grow up on (not in) the wrong side of the tracks means that you grew up in a poor or bad part of the city. Number three is more of a proverb and you should be able to understand it; it's not an idiom and its meaning is clear if you understand the words. You should be using an English only dictionary now if you are asking such advanced questions and you should know what "tough" means. I hope you know this word, it's a good one, we use it a lot! Good luck to you!
