English study

莲步青云

We've learnt a lot from your articles. Thank you for your warm-heartedness and efforts. I am so grateful to what you did for all of us: you took the time and trouble to share what you obtained in school which is quite helpful for everyone. Thanks again and keep on doing!

Pretty pragmatic! Thanks a lot!

I like this part quite much. Actually, the idioms and slangs are more frequently employed than formal languages in real life.

都含"用"、"使用"的意思。

use 系常用词, 指"把某物[人]当作工具而使用, 以满足需要或达到目的", 如:

When we write, we always use pens or pencils.
我们写字总是用钢笔或者铅笔。

employ 属正式用语, 可与use互换, 强调"使闲散的东西发挥作用或进行选择, 以便充分利用", 如:

I employ my spare time in reading.
我利用空闲时间看书。


----Hupo JJ, it is always good to discuss the difference usages of vocabulary, the best way to improve. Keep on!

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are back in shape again.

It definitely is a hard job to take care of yourself as well as your baby girl.

Wish you could tough it out!

JJ, 'could have done' is a subjunctive mood of use which expresses something that could happen in the past but actually didn't.
I am not sure of your original purpose, but just wondering of it.   Telll me what you thought. Tnx.

Yup, I got it.

So, it might need to be 'You will do well in not only your business but also your English.' I guess that's what you intended to express.

Let me know what you think

Thank you for sharing the vocabulary for different types of films. The Oscar has been announced and it is a good time to collect words for movies.
