Peter trabaja muy bien en las clases y es un fantástico estudiante. Se puede ver que tiene interés por aprender la lengua, es curioso, hace muchas preguntas y siempre escucha atentamente. Estoy muy contenta de tenerlo como alumno. ¡Muchas gracias, Peter! 🙂

    Hi Farhana, 1. I would replace "got" with "fallen": Our country has fallen into the clutches of bootlickers. (Although the question occurs to me, if the power is indeed in the hands of the bootlickers, whose boots are they licking? ;) 2. This sentence is fine, although I'm not sure bone-breaking is the best adjective. Perhaps "back-breaking" would fit better (assuming you mean physically difficult rather than mentally or emotionally difficult)

    Hi Xin, your grammar and vocabulary are quite good. I've done a bit of editing on the last section: Jiangsu province is widely regarded as one of China's most developed provinces, the undeveloped regions are never mentioned. The authorities have not taken any action, because they need to increase the population. This disgraceful and sinful practice, in the eyes of the Party, can solve part of the fertility problem.

    I got to see people's true colors and now I feel relieved as I know how to behave with certain people. Evil really does exist in human form. I think it's a very good thing that I received some enlightenment from Almighty God.

    Hello fellow italki teachers, I'm having a problem getting my payments via paypal because of Hyperwallet. I've sent messages to italki (which claims to have paid me), and to PayPal (who says there is no problem with the account yet no payment has arrived). On the italki site I get a message "You need to verify your PayPal account to Hyperwallet", which directs me to a dialog box. I've filled in all the fields and uploaded the requested documets but just get a message saying "verification failed" with no explanation. I've been paid by italki many times before, but since 2022 it has not worked . Is anyone else having this problem? How have you solved it? Thanks

    Not bad at all. Your pronunciation is fairly good, I had no problem understanding you. Here's what I transcribed: Yes. First and foremost, I am major in English and it will benefit me a lot to study abroad. Secondly I am now a graduate from the university and I am going to look for a job. I plan to work for several years when I got enough money so I can support myself to go abroad to further my study. Last but not least I think going abroad will broaden my horizon. Its also, like, traveling I can live with others with the peoples in the other places. A few grammatical corrections: "I am a major in English", or "I am an English major", or (since you've graduated already) "I majored in English" it will benefit me a lot: this is ok, but since the question was a conditional perhaps it's a bit better to say "it would benefit ..." I plan to work for several years until I have enough money to support myself ... ... to further my studies (usually used in the plural in this context) ... broaden my horizons (again, usually plural in this context) ... I can live with other people in other places. It's difficult to correct pronunciation in writing. As I said, pretty good. I would work on the pronunciation of: plan not least I hope this helps.

    Hi, it is neither one. A daughter-in-law is the wife of your son. In general, the suffix "-in-law" indicates a non-blood relative acquired through marriage. So, she is your daughter-in-law, you are her father-in-law. The wife of your brother, or a sister of your wife, would be your sister-in-law. The husband of your sister, or the brother of your wife, would be a brother-in-law, etc. An interesting note that many native speakers get wrong: to make the plural of these terms, you make the FIRST word plural. So, for example, "I have five sisters-in-law" (NOT "I have five sister-in-laws"). I hope this helps.

    Yes, you need the definite article here too. If it were a single year, you can omit the article: "She was popular in 1991." Use the article for a period of time: "She was popular in the late 18th century." "They roamed the Earth in the mesozoic era."

    I think it means the student can study what he wants to, and in the way he/she wants.

    Since it is modifying "planted" (a verb) you would use the adverb "freshly" rather than the adjective "fresh". I do not think it needs a hyphen. You could also use "recently".
