Hi, I'm Su. I love traveling, watching movies, listening to music,writing, painting, drawing, and photography. I've now lived in America, Germany, South Korea, and Switzerland. I’ve also had the great blessing to be able to travel in many other countries as well! I plan to go to as many countries and experience as much as I can. Currently, I'm preparing to teaching English as a foreign language. My goal is to teach in abroad next year and travel more of Asia and Europe. Although, I would also like to learn more about South America - particularly Brazil! I like to write in my spare time, and hope that I can eventually write full stories in German.

    It’s definitely true. You can be aesthetically beautiful but have little to know personality or hobbies that make you interesting. Whereas you could be someone who isn’t considered beautiful by appearance but has a great personality, lots of charm, witty, and adventurous and these qualities can attract a lot of people to you.

    Hi. The responses you’ve gotten are really great, but I wanted to make sure you got the clarification you needed about “drilling”. In this context, a drill would be a sort of test to see what the student has learned and memorized. Repeating specific phrases over and over or vocabulary quizzes would be examples of drills.

    Hi! As several other users have touched on, “develop on” isn’t the correct form. “Improve on”, “build on”, or “work on” would be appropriate. Alternatively, you can say “further develop”.

    Hello! You’ve gotten so many answers already, but I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring anyway. You’re right that in American English we say, “School’s out for the day.” I know another user said that we do not use “for the day” however, it’s used commonly where I live. I’m also 28 so it’s not an old-fashioned thing to say. Naturally, you can also say, “School’s out” or “school’s over”. Where I live these are less common but you can also say, “school’s let out (for the day, for the summer, for Christmas break, etc.) Some slang that’s more work-specific includes: “Time to punch out”, “It’s quittin’ time”, “I’m clocking out”, “Callin’ it quits for the day/night”. Kids and teens also like to say these to be funny.

    So it would be correct if you said "I am busy preparing to move." The article "a" can be used with a noun but not a verb. As for your second question, "Good luck with the move," is totally correct. You could also say, "Good luck with moving." In the second option you can't use "the" because it is an article. So, just like in the first example, you can't use an article with a verb.

    Could you give a bit more of the quote? I'm American so I think I get the meaning but I'd like more context just to be sure.

    Conditional sentences can, in most cases, be distiguisged by the use of words like: would, should, probably, maybe, might, perhaps, and if.

    I would like to go to the movies tomorrow, but I don't know if my essay will be finished.

    - in this sentence going to the movies is conditional, because it depends on whether or not I finish my schoolwork beforehand.

    Perhaps I'll go tomorrow.

    - This sentence is harder, because you can't readily see a reason as to why I will or will not go. You will just have to remember that words like "maybe, might, and perhaps" are indefinite/uncertain so when someone uses these whatever they are saying could change and are depedent on something else.

    You can also spot conditional sentences with phrases and words like: in most cases, usually, (not) often, very seldom, sometimes, once in awhile, and when I have time, unless, etc. These all make sentences they are used in conditional because they make one thing dependent on time or subject to a case by case analysis.

    I usually don't eat fast food, but when I don't have enough time to cook, I will buy sometjig at Buger King.

    - The use of "usually" introduces an exception to "I don't eat fast food" and so it becomes conditional (in this case dependent on time).

    OR

    I usually dont eat fast food, unless it's from Zaxby's.

    - Here again "usually" creates an exception, but this time the condition is based on a certain restaurant the speaker enjoys. "Unless" highlights and introduces what the condition is. You can also use ibless in the previous sentence and it would be "I usually don't wat fast food, unless I dont have time to cook..."

    Anything that changes a sentence from being 100% certain to be or certain to happen, or causes the speaker to be less than 100% sure of something can <em>usually</em> be an indicator that the sentence is conditional in English. ; )<em> </em>

    This isnt't thr best grammatical lesson, but I hope it helps!

    Berlin - Comicserien des Jason Lutes Pt. 2 Ich schreibe das sehr spät aber hier ist es! In mein letzte Lesetagebuch Aktivität schreib ich über meine Erwartungen des die Serie. In dieses Lesetagebuch schreibe ich über die Inhalten des Buch 1. In dieses erstes Buch sind unsere Protagonisten der Journalist Kurt Severing und die Kunststudentin Marthe Muller. Jedoch habt die Geschichte vielen anderen Charakteren, die alle Einwohner des Berlin repräsentieren. Meiner Meinung nach sind die anderen Charakteren oft mehr interessiert als Kurt und Marthe aber besonders Marthe, weil die Geschichte über Leben in Berlin in den 1920er Jahren war redete und viele Charakteren probieren andere Leute helfen oder sie kämpfen um ein anständig Leben bleiben aber Marthe ist reich und geschützt. Marthe bedrückt mich und macht mich ängstlich, weil sie immer impulsiv handelt und wählt immer den Weg, der alle emotional und spirituell verletzt, ein schließlich sich selbst. Sie ist jung aber nicht viel jung - ich denke vielleicht 26 Jahre alt? Also kann man nicht sagen, dass sie jung ist und alles okay wird. Trotzdem verstehe ich, dass unsere späten Zwanziger eine verwirrende und verzweifelte Zeit sind. Also möchte ich mich in sie einfühlen aber es ist sehr schwer für mich, jemand zu verstehen, der andere Leute vorsätzlich weh tut, nur weil sie verletzt sind. Ich denke, dass was nächstes passieren wird, ist die Berlin Einwohner immer noch nichts Probleme vortäuschen zu haben während die NS-Partie und Kommunismus-Partie wachsen. Kurt und Marthe werden wahrscheinlich ein sexuelles Abenteuer haben... Was mir am meisten Spaß machte war die Art und Wiese wie Jason Lutes darstellte wie die Einwohner des Berlin in 1928 immer noch gewöhnlich lebten und dachten. Im Gegensatz zu dem von dem außerdeutsch glauben über die Deutschen damals waren. Ich liebte wie Lutes die Menschlichkeit jeder Person zeigten. Auf der anderen Seite wünschte ich, dass Lutes nicht immer auf Tangenten gingen um das detaillierte Leben des Charakteren das wir niemals wieder Shen würden. Lutes erklärt wie jede politische Partei geformt in so viele Einzelheiten, dass man manchmal durch zu viele Detailen verloren gehen oder überwältigt werden wenn man liest die historisch Geschichte, die Geschichte des Haupcharakteren UND jeden Einzelheit von die Leben des tertiären Charakteren. Bis später für Pt. 3!
