Hi Catherine! Nice to meet you! Well, I am a student of English and I am Brazilian. I'm looking for new friends to conversation and learn English each more time. Sorry please if I write of manner wrong. I want to do a request to you that help me to learn English if possible.

Hello Catherine,
I'm ever so happy I came across this 蜜芽传媒-learning section! It's lovely to find more students sharing their thoughts and experiences.
I'm an English student from Spain and I've been studying the language for the last 4 years or so. I absolutely love the language, specially its literature, it's very rich and interesting! My goal is to be able to communicate properly with any English speakers.
I used to be very confident when it came to speaking English, but unfortunately I lost that hability, in fact I lost my confidence, I don't know when or how that happened, now I feel quite stressed when I'm asked to speak aloud in front of my classmates, It feels horrible! I wish I could find a way to get my confidence back! I'd much appreciate a piece of advice!
About the questions, these are my answers.
1 ----- c
2 ----- b
3 ----- d
4 ----- a
Thank you! :)
I'm looking forward to reading your next post.
Miby

these are my answers:

Hi Cahtrine,

welcome for this blog. it is really an interesting challenge. it is easy way to learn Phrases. looking for innovative method to learn more like this this whole month. I am really looking for to know the last challenge you had mentioned in your English teaching. I will also put my experience of learning English.

Thanks for all your lovely comments everyone! I'm glad you liked my first blog. Check out my new blog - it's called 'Humour and Culture' to check your binominals homework answers and learn some bits and pieces about 'parallel form' :-))

Catherine

Hi Catherine:

Thank you for learning such stuff here from your blog.I do really think these phrases are very helpful and useful to us.

I have left my born and bred country for a month or so,due to some business.With refference to your post that you got itchy feet at your age of 32,I must say that I got itchy feet earlier than you got,and then I do the same thing like you do ,scrimped and saved all my money,for the reason of going abroad for tour.I do enjoy the feedom life alone.

Besides,I'd like to say that I admire about your teache life very much.It makes you can travel all over the world.Whereas my work is too boring,and the pressure is always from inner relation of persons rather than work itself.My life make me like a hummer bird.I always upped sticks and left from one city to anothe,but there is a little help for my ability improvement.I prefer to another life which can face the trials and tribulations usually.A few hairy moment can make person stronger and more mature.

Finally,I am looking forward to reading your unusual expenrice occured in bits and pieces place.

It seems interesting after reading your article.My answer is:

(4)--(a)

A very interesting lesson.
But I think the word is actually 'binomials'.
It is used in maths and in linguistics.

Glad you liked the lesson cchat :-)

You are quite right: in fact, 'binomials' is another word for 'binominals' - they are synomyms.

Hello
I have a question about English grammar! I鈥檓 using your web site especially (Ask about English)point. When I tried to making out topic 鈥淎djective order鈥� I couldn鈥檛 clearly understand difference between 鈥渙pinion鈥� and 鈥渜uality鈥�. What sort of words we must use as 鈥渙pinion鈥� and 鈥渜uality鈥�?
For example: you wrote (a beautiful??? old Indian carpet) where are a beautiful mean quality. But my opinion it鈥檚 ugly. If you say a new old Indian carpet of course I can鈥檛 bet with you after that because it鈥檚 really a new (fact = quality) carpet. We can write 鈥渁 beautiful(opinion) big old Indian carpet鈥� or 鈥渁 big beautiful(quality) old Indian carpet鈥�. Please help me understand this point!
Best regard!

Good morning Catherine from Lyon, France
Have been doing EFL training for a number of years, now based here and have finally decided to take the plunge and sign up to the wonderfyul resources made available by the 蜜芽传媒. I'm really trying to find ways for my trainees to adhere to English in self-help with my staff acting as door opener, guide and reviewer to make contact time as profitable as possible. Lyon is home to a major homeopathic medicine lab so I've sort of introduced "homeopathic" English. Small doses, regularly and as painleesly as possible. Needless to say, like the treatment, there needs to be a certain amount of faith.

Well, that's just an intro but I am particularly happy to now know what binomials or binominals are. Wow. Now I can put a name on what I've been using.

Keep up the good work
Regards

Thanks Catherine a lot and I would like to guide me to answer of this question : How I could be an certified teacher in my native language specially I am not graduated from this major ?
Note : My native language is Arabic and I need to be an Arabic Teacher for foreigners because I like Arabic very much and have good background of it .
waiting your sincerely reply
