ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½

Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for your lesson. That's very helpfull. I usually write English follow word by word, sometime that's not correct. How to use preposition and family word correctly is very important in writing English!

Hello Jennifer,

Welcome to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Learning English and hope you enjoy your time with us. Your first post was very educational and I have learnt quite a few things from it.

I haven't been to any beach in England so not really sure but my random guess would be London.

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ work

1) I'm going to apply to run the London Marathon. (apply for / apply to)
2) Can I _apply for__ a visa, please? (apply for / apply to)
3) If at first you don't ___succeed__ , try, try again. (success / succeed)
4) Have you had any _success_ in finding a job? (success / succeed)

Looking forward to your next post.

Hi Jennifer,

Nice to meet you. I've learnt many useful things from your blog and enjoyed the photos as well. My apartment is near the beach. I like to walk along the seashore and watch the changing mood of the sea. It's always interesting to look at the sea of other part of this world. And I've wondered, in the winter time the sky of the UK is always clouded....as another photos of the sea loaded by previous teacher blogger Finn were also looking very clouded.....

Well...this is my answer,

1) I'm going to apply to run the London Marathon.
2) Can I apply for a visa, please?
3) If at first you don't succeed , try, try again.
4) Have you had any success in finding a job?

Thank you very much.

Hello Jenifer,

welcome to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Learning English. Your first post is really good. I didn't know that we can use "apply to", that is something new for me - thanks!

Have a nice day,
Tereza

Hello Jenifer,
Nice to meet you.
Beautiful pictures on your blog and I'd try to guess that they are from the South Coast of England, am I right?

And my answer for the exercise is the following:

1) I'm going to ___RUN_______ run the London Marathon. (apply for / apply to)
2) Can I _APPLY FOR__ a visa, please? (apply for / apply to)
3) If at first you don't _SUCCEED___ , try, try again. (success / succeed)
4) Have you had any _SUCCESS__ in finding a job? (success / succeed)

Hello to everyone
even if I don't know you,
a happy new year to all of you !!!

It's the very first time I signed up here and I had no time to read any of the comments, - but I'm so happy to greet the English-language-community and take part in it, - so all my best wishes to everyone !
Of course, I'm not the youngest one , but I'm working with students from very different countries... as well as collegues abroad... so I really appreciate to exchange our "little day-live-experiences" and "what we would like to know about each other".
This happens sometimes in my job, but's not the same.

It's a pleasure to write to people all around the world.
To introduce myself, I'm 58 years old (oh my dear !!!), was born in Western Germany and used long time ago (the 60ies ) to have penfriends all around the world.
Living in France since 1972, I lost all these contacts and unfortunately use of English, (that's why I signed in !!!) - well, I learned French instead, which I'd never learnt before.

Now, I want to improve my English again, and it's nice to have some "pen-friends" this way.
Tell me about every day live or simply write some comments... it's always interesting this way.

Best regards and Love to you all
Kaethe

Hello Jennifer.
Thanks for your explanations and for your photos.
When I think of a English Coast I alwais think of Cornualles, because this name is te one what sounds familiar to me. When I was a child, spanish girls usually read books by Enyd Blyton, and among all, there was a collection of six books regarding tome some girls living in a boarding schooll, Malory Towers, do you know? This saga was in fashion in Spain in these days. Well, Malory Towers is located by Cornualles coast.
I wait you'll tell us the aswer.
See you soon.

Dear Jennifer,
your explanations have been really useful for me! Now I try to complete your exercise:
1) I'm going to ___apply to__________ run the London Marathon. (apply for / apply to)
2) Can I _apply for__________ a visa, please? (apply for / apply to)
3) If at first you don't __succeed_______ , try, try again. (success / succeed)
4) Have you had any ______success____ in finding a job? (success / succeed)

I love your pictures! I ve lived 6 months in Aarhus, the second largest city of Denmark which is really near the sea, and it has been a beautiful experience for me!! I really would like to know in which part of England is your town!
Looking forward to hearing from you!!

Hi Jennifer,

I've never been to the coast in the UK except when I was invited to a wedding party in the Essex country! The ceremony took place in a little village by the sea and the day after the reception I went visiting the coast and had a long walk on the beach. I remember its fine sand and a row of colorful beach huts, it was lovely. Anyway, I think your pic was taken in a different and maybe wilder part of the country. Why don't you give us more hints before unveiling the name of your hometown?

Hi Jennifer:
It was a helpful article to me. As a non-native speaker, though I have learned English for years, I still had hard time to write completely correct sentences.
However, I have made up my mind to study and practise English more than I used to be for the sake of improvement. Thanks a lot !

Hi, Jennifer:
I am a bit confused by the way you used "help to do something.." (twice) in your blog. I was learning not to use "to" after some verbs such as "help", "make", so it would be like "help do something..". Could you answer my question? Thanks.

Choose the right word(s) to go in the gap

Thank you Jeffifer,
this is excellent practise.

1) I'm going to (apply to ) run the London Marathon. (apply for / apply to)
2) Can I (apply for ) a visa, please? (apply for / apply to)
3) If at first you don't (succeed) , try, try again. (success / succeed)
4) Have you had any (success) in finding a job? (success / succeed)

Hi Jennifer,

It‘s really nice to hear from you and thanks very much for your great job! It helps me a lot to improve my writing in terms of words and phrases. I also learn many vivid expressions from your blog, such as" by the sounds of it","wrapped in a scarf","settle down", besides all the boldfaced words and phrases. Learning a language in this way is "engaging", it reminds me of the time when I was a little kid and always remembered the expressions heard from adults which I found interesting, and using them successfully in a similar situation gave me a sense of satisfaction.

The pictures of the beach in your hometown are impressive, although it's hard for me to guess where it is... Just a guess..south part of England?

Also here's my solution to the homework:
1) I'm going to apply to run the London Marathon.
2) Can I apply for a visa, please?
3) If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
4) Have you had any success in finding a job?

I love all the engagements here at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Learning English. All the best for the new year and wish to hear from you again.

Hi Jennifer
I've benefited from your lesson the difference between apply to and apply for but i want to ask you why there is no chat on bbc website which helps us to practice our English and improve our ability to make conversations

Egypt is happy with this.

Hi Jennifer,

I am the one who is a big fan of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ learning English.com. I have visited this site from time to time for around 4 years even though I have a harsh time to get access to this blog. I have gradually found something interesting and awesome here in terms of various and superb stories in which I read with fun and never want to close the blog. Well, I am really glade you are a new blogger of this month. I hope to see and learn from you in every aspect such as the culture and the tradition in order to broaden my prospectives. Many thanks.

Hello Jennifer,

Hopelessly late, I know, and I'm aware I'm unlikely to get an answer ...
Anyway, I'll give it a try: I have also been taught that the word "fruit" doesn't take a plural s, but it has been my impression over the past few years that the plural form is coming into use more and more. Now I've just had a look at the new ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½LE series "English at work", and there, too, we get the term "plastic fruit manufacturers" in the second paragraph, but a little further down, when Paul is speaking, he refers to the "plastic fruits sector" - so maybe the plural form is getting accepted with this word? (Even if plastic fruit may not be my preferred field of interest ...)

As to "vegetable", I have seen the plural form of this word on and off - even in teaching material - would you still say it is not acceptable at all?

Or do we just have to differentiate? I'm thinking of the word "fish", which is singular and plural, but when we have the different species of fish in mind, we can use "fishes" alright. So maybe, when we have the different kinds of fruit and vegetable in mind, we can also use "fruits" or "vegetables"???
Just asking ...

Slightly puzzled,
Elisabeth (Austria)
