    I think it means walking into a room in reverse, i.e. your back is entering the room first, therefore nobody can see your face.

    Hi Ekaterina, Here is an answer from wikidiff: (http://wikidiff.com/approve/endorse) "As verbs the difference between approve and endorse is that approve is to sanction officially; to ratify; to confirm or approve can be (English law) to make profit of; to convert to one's own profit;—said especially of waste or common land appropriated by the lord of the manor while endorse is to support, to back, to give one's approval to, especially officially or by signature."

    Perhaps Harry Potter? 

    I would also recommend Roald Dahl’s short stories for adults - they’re very gripping and usually have a twist you might not expect.

    This is not something serious

    This is not something serious. I just tried to rhyme like an acrostic which the first letters of each line spell out the name of our English teacher.
    His name is Ara Ohanian.
    Please, feel free to edit or make any changes you deem necessary.

    After every English class
    Reminding us of something new,
    Asking questions, getting answers.


    Oh, it was a lot of fun!
    How nice and beneficial,
    Awesome classes every time.
    Natural English, natural speech.
    Immense progress in a short time.
    A new chapter in our lives,
    New discoveries which are nice!


    You might want to consider using an adjective other than ‘nice’, but I liked your acrostic poem nonetheless. :)

    "Everything is relative” is correct. :)

    A knife and fork, and probably some kind of bib (if I were eating spaghetti bolognese). The knife is really a redundant object here, but the fork is good for twisting and collecting the spaghetti in large strands before putting them into my mouth - yum!

    I like Polish beer, so I immediately thought of brands such as Tyskie, Zubr, Zywiec, etc.

    Also, living in the UK, we have lots of "Polskie Skleps”! 

    Having visited the Gdansk shipyards, I also thought of ‘Solidarnosc”. 

    Great country, lovely people! :)

    Try to watch British sitcoms, listen to BBC news articles, etc. :) That should help you!

    How to get to know Christopher a bit better ... Here are “twelve random facts about me”. What are yours? :)

    Hi folks,

    I recall this being a post on Facebook several years ago, so I thought it might be fun to do it again on italki. It’s a very low-key post and thus hopefully not too dull to read. Please feel free to write and share your own ‘random facts’ - be imaginative and show your uniqueness!


    1. I learnt French and Spanish at school and I’m learning Russian at the moment.

    2. However, that doesn’t mean I can speak any of those languages intelligibly - at best, I am roughly at pre-intermediate level with my Russian. 

    3. I am a big fan of ‘graphic novels’ or ‘comics’ for adults, such as ‘Watchmen’, ‘Maus’, ‘Persepolis’, etc.

    4. However, I really don’t like superhero comics.

    5. When I first started teaching English I found it very difficult to correct my student’s mistakes on the spot as I didn’t want to point out that they were wrong and potentially ‘offend' any of them  - a very British quirk of character. Nonetheless, I am now very thorough at correcting mistakes. And polite. :)

    6. And, yes, I’m from the UK, but I do not like football and I do not support any teams. Especially not England!

    7. I have been a diabetic for nearly 14 years.

    8. I am left-handed.

    9. By the time I’m 100 years old, I would like to have visited EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!  

    10. But so far, I have only visited around 17. :(

    11. Aside from teaching, I do voiceovers for advertisements, TV dramas, documentaries, etc.

    12. I met my wife through italki!!!!!!!! ^_^

    In the UK, we call this the ‘register’ at the start of a lesson.
