Hello. My name is Tim and I was born and raised in England. I live in Japan now and work as an English teacher in one of the leading English conversation schools in the country. I provide one-to-one English conversation lessons to students of all levels and all ages. I provide the following services to my students: speaking practice (including preparation for IELTS/TOEFL/TOEIC/EIKEN/BULATS); reading practice; listening practice; writing practice; an introduction to idioms/phrasal verbs/collocations/redundant language; answers to grammar questions; grammar exercises; practice with Business English; and pronunciation practice. Students may choose any, or all, of the above activities. I encourage my students to talk as much English as possible in the lessons, thereby giving them every opportunity to practise their language skills. Students can choose the duration of their lessons; for example 60 minutes, 45 minutes or 30 minutes. I look forward to hearing from you. Tim

    Hi. Yes, they are both correct. However people would normally say 'It's still got the label on' or simply 'The label's still on.' Hope this helps. Tim

    Hi. If you are doing some kind of activity, for example a crossword puzzle, a piece of written work, or changing a car tyre, and someone asks you 'How are you doing?' or 'How's it coming along?' then you could answer with 'It's getting there', if you are making some progress with the activity.

    Hi. "If that goes" - 'that' refers to 'my job'. Another way to word this is "If I lose that" "I've had it" - means "I'm in big trouble" I hope this helps. Tim

    Hi. When asking this type of question, we should be careful and sensitive about the language we use. Most people will become offended at the suggestion that they may be wrong. So, if possible, avoid using the word 'wrong'. With regard to your two suggestions, you could certainly say the first, whereas the second should be “Could you be wrong?” I would favour “Are you sure?”, or “Is that definitely right?” How you decide to phrase this depends on how well you know the person and how much you want to risk offending them. Hope this helps. Tim
