Hi Zander, Good session again tonight. We went over the 3 sections of the speaking test and you did well. We have to work on grouping words together to sound more natural and fluent and remember to stay in present simple tense when talking about a routine. Blake

Hi Zander, Good job today. You gave some good answers to the questions and were able to talk for the full 2 minutes when giving a speech. Make sure your verbs stay in past tense when talking about a past event or a movie you saw. Also, make sure you end your speech with a statement related to the sentence on the topic card. Blake

    Is the name 'Zander' kind of babyish? I have been using 'Zander' as my English name for a couple of years, but it seems that this name is kind of babyish(As far as I know, it's a nickname of 'Alexander', and it's a common last name for many Americans, but I use it as first name ). I really want to know real opinions of native speakers for this name. What's your thought when you heard of this name? By the way, I would appreciate if you could recommend me for some other English names. My first name is Zheng, so I really hope the name would sound like 'Zheng' to some extent, just like 'Zander'.

    ‘我要去寻我血脉中另一半的根’ sounds kind of werid. I think this means you want to look for your mother or father, do you mean that? ‘血脉’ means the family gene, can also imply cultural and traditional identity of a nation, you can say '家族的血脉', '民族的血脉'，'血脉相承', but ‘血脉中另一半’ really sounds strange in Chinese.

    总结一下, 嘿嘿（纯属个人观点）： 2. ambition应该翻译成(远大的人生)志向, 不是期望(expectation)。 5. 我正在丧失自己的个性 or 我正在迷失自我 8. 你受过的教育是你唯一不会褪色的武器。(这里的Education单单翻译为'教育'不太恰当。另外，除了‘退色’，也可以用‘褪色’) 9. ZQQ's translation is more literal 10.Agree with Allison. ZQQ's translation has been far removed from the original meaning.

    A grammer question about THOUGH when it is in the middle of a sentence. I wonder the correct usage of 'though' when it is placed in the middle of a sentence. Could anyone help check the correctness of the following sentences? 1. The idea, though sounding impractical, is still within the realms of possibilities. 2. The idea, though sounds impractical, is still within the realms of possibilities. 3. The idea, despite sounding impractical, is still within the realms of possibilities. 4. The idea, though impractical superficially, is still within the realms of possibilities.
