Hi I'm Portia, I'm a graduate of BS Psychology and I'm currently teaching English online. I love to teach because it gives me contentment whenever a person learns from me. I teach my students of different ages, from beginner to intermediate.
Aside from teaching, I also love to surf the net, selling products online, meet up with friends when I have free time, cooking, reading novels, and watching television.
Recently, I just opened my online shop. I actually sell native products such as bags, slippers, home decors...etc. These products are made of native materials.

- For me, "I'm interested in this part of the book", is a correct sentence. The preposition "in" is often used in idiomatic expressions or stereotyped expressions, so that familiarity with these expressions will help in the choice of the correct preposition. According to Oxford Dictionary: "There’s no necessity to ban prepositions from the end of sentences. Ending a sentence with a preposition is a perfectly natural part of the structure of modern English" http://oxforddictionaries.com/words/ending-sentences-with-prepositions0 votedMay 16, 20121
- JOSEPH KONY 2012 As I was about to start my day, the DJ on the radio caught my attention. He was giving his opinion regarding a video that is spreading in facebook entitled "Kony 2012". I was curious about it so I opened my computer, connect to the internet, and log in to facebook. I looked for the video in my news feed and found it. It is a 30-minute video about a man named JOSEPH KONY. Kony is a leader of a terrorist group named LORD'S RESISTANCE ARMY in UGANDA AFRICA. This group abducts women and turns them into sex slaves and trains children to holds guns and to kill people and their parents. For 20 years, the people living in Uganda have been living in fear and wishes to end their lives than to live under the cruelty of KONY. While watching the video I was deeply struct by the situation of those people in Uganda. I could not believe such cruelty is currently happening on the other side of MY WORLD. The cries of these people for help and for justice motivated me to write and to share about JOSEPH KONY. The video aims to reach people all over the world. "If the world knows who Joseph Kony is, it will unite to stop him." So I am sharing this to everyone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc Every child has the right to live a good life. Give some time watching the video then please share... Thank you!March 8, 201200

- My answer is C, operating. The phrase, "by operating on" is not correct. "by" is a preposition "operating" is an adjective "on" is a preposition Prepositions links nouns, pronouns and phrases to other words in a sentence. Adjective is a "describing word". Since "operating" is not a noun or a pronoun or a phrase, then the use of the word is not correct. Instead of using the word "operating", try a verb word like "using". "This new model not only saves time but also energy by using two batteries instead of four" *** When you use two the same word in a sentence, like the word "saves", the sentence becomes redundant. It is unnecessary to repeat the word in expressing an idea. *** You also have to remember that if you use the word "This", it means the thing or object is in near parameter. Example: When the object is near you that you can even touch it. Or if you're describing the object which is near you.0 votedDecember 7, 20110
