My first book

Hi my name is Flora and I've been reading my first book in English. The entitle is The little Prince. I read the first chapter and afterwards I studied it with my English Tutor. The goal was to understand of the chapter. So we have spoken a lot about its meaning of the author and what was my interpretation of the chapter.  It was the first time that I had spoken English for a long period of time.  Don't hesitate to correct my mistakes.
Thanks a lot.
Flora.

Great job Flora! Bien hecho!

Hi Pavel, nice job! I would only change the following sentences " He could HAVE FOUND a good job if he had GOTTEN a degree." It refers to the alternative result if Neil had listened to his mother. and "He thinks he WILL go crazy if he STAYS there much longer." The previous sentence states that Neil hates his current job, therefore this sentence should descibe what Neil feels is the future result of staying at that job.

Hi Angel First, great job! The adjective orders are fine but in the second sentence it's unclear how the adjectives you listed modify the noun 'bout'. I think you mean 'boat' instead, which makes sense. In the last sentence, the first two adjectives should be spelled, 'incredible' and 'immense'. The noun in this sentence should also be spelled 'discovery'. Lastly, together with the other adjectives 'square' and 'yellow' you listed in this sentence, it is a bit unclear how they fit with or modify the noun 'discovery'.

Hi Mariya, In English we usually use the words 'around' 'about' 'mid' 'early' 'late' and '...something' when we talk about age colloquially. This is not for formal writing. 1. Around - this implies that we are guessing or approximating a person's age. Ex. "She´s around 20 years old 2. About - is the same as 'around' but we don't use this as often. 3. Mid - this implies that we think the person's age is the middle of that range. We usually use this with the preposition 'in' and a possessive pronoun 'his' or 'her'. Ex. "He's in his mid thirties" means we think he's between 34 - 36 years old. You can also sometimes hear English speakers say "He's mid thirties" but the other form with the preposition is more common (same with Early and Late). 4. Early - this implies that we think the person's age is in the early portion of that range. Again, we usually use this with the preposition 'in' and a possessive pronoun. Ex. "She's in her early thirties" OR "She's early thirties" (less common). This means 30-34. 5. Late - this implies that we think the person's age is in the later portion of that range. Again with 'in' and a possessive pronoun. Ex. "He's in his late thirties" OR "He's late thirties" (less common). This means 36-39. 6. When we are not sure of the range sometimes we can say thirtysomething, fourtysomething, fiftysomething, etc. OR use the preposition 'in' and a possessive pronoun with thirties, fourties, fifties, etc. This implies the full range of that age group. Ex 1. "She's thirtysomething" which implies 30-39. OR Ex. 2 "She's in her thirties". Hope this helped.
