From November 20th -preposition-

I answer the follow three question about preposition website.

(a) Was it helpful? Why?

Yes, it was. This is becasue I faced a lot of questions which I did't know about preposition. Also, I was easy to understand becasue the questions separate some sections.

(b) Did you learn anything new?

Yes, I did. I didn't know the details about preposition. For example, the preposition changes whether a specific noun or not specific one.

(c) Would you like to work on this website, or a similar one again in the future?

Of course. I want to learn the grammar by using this website. I think that my grammar ability must be developed!!

From November 20th -regular-

Hello.
I learned from the site, "ELLLO."

a..... The theme was "The best time of marriage."

b..... Amin don't think that marrying early means the age of thirty. His parents got married after thirties, but they led a happy life. Lori don't think early or late comes into the question. Eoin thinks it's better to marry later in life because their parents married later in life. Aki want to marry late because she get experience and ideas. Chris thinks that marrying later too.

c..... I think that a lot of people want to marry like their parents. Certainly, I want to marry at the age of 25 when my parents got married. Moreover, recently, many people have ideas that they want to marry later in life. For example, my aunt got married at the age of thirty the other day. However, she lead a very happy life! It seems to be enjoy and satisfied with them. Therefore, I feel that my best time of marriage is 28 years old. This is because I want to work hard and also enjoy my life!

d..... 1. oblige : you have to do it because the situation, the law, a duty makes it necessary
2. circumstance : the conditions that affect a situation, action, event.
3. influence : the power to affect t way someone or something develops
4. rest : to stop working or doing an activity for a time and sit down or lie down to relax

From November 13th

Hello.
I studied listening conversation by ELLLO from November 13th.

a... The theme was "Pricey Places."

b... Jess and Tom talk about cities around the world. Jess noticed that Tokyo in Japan are now the most expensive cities to live in. Tom had been living in Tokyo. Now , he lived in Bangkok. Thai food is cheap and delicious. They are famous all over the world. He likes them very much because the prices are low. In Tokyo, he doesn't like hair cut because it is very expensive. According to Jess, in Europe, Paris was the most expensive. However, brillant French wine was really cheap and huge variety.

c... I didn't noticed that Tokyo's ptices is high because we live in Japan. It is ordinary life. I think that foreign country's prices is higher than Japan's one. Japan full up too many kinds of things, so we may lose a sense of money. Once we go oversea and go shopping, we'll know the value of current Japan.

d... Words
1. stall....... a table or small shop with an open front, especially outdoors, where goods are sold
2. prices...... the amount of money you have to pay for something
3. scruffy...... dirty and untidy
4. chop off..... to remove somrthing by cutting it with a sharp tool
5. balance out..... if two or more things balance out, the result is that they're equal in amount, importance, or effect
