Hello everyone!
Could you please help me out?
Does it souns natural? And which verbs would you use?
There are a lot of cobwebs in the garage. For cleaning up the cobwebs I’m going to use a broom, a dust rag, a swiffer, a regular broom, dusting wand to sweep them away/sweep away/remove. Honestly, I don’t feel secure when spiders weave their webs in the corners of my garage.
I am currently playing a game called Warframe and that game recently implemented content where you talk to characters. I am playing the game in its English setting as part of learning English, but I am afraid to make choices that are unfavorable to me unknowingly (because I don't understand English) and end up reverting to my native language setting.

What do you recommend to improve writing? deepl, reverso, grammarly or other option?
Can you describe a time when you felt truly amazed by nature?
I was a lifeguard at a beach. I never thought the sea was scary. However, I felt the fear of nature as I experienced rip currents and waves higher than my head. I understood that my acquaintances told me that their surfboard was broken while surfing. I think I should be humble in front of nature.

Hello everyone!
Could you help me out?
Does it sound natural?
My remot control won't work so I decided to find out the reason. To my relief, it has turned out to be batteries. They are died/out/run out. I've dropped by a store, bought a pair of ones. At home I just replaced old batteried into the new ones. And voila, the remote.is woking well.

Can you share a particular habit you've developed this year that has improved your life?
It hasn't been very long, my family reflect on their own day. We've started it to break the bad habit of being late. We share like this way.. how many meetings I had and what time did I arrive earlier than the scheduled time. This really works for my family.
What specific routines do you follow to start your day?
For starting my day, as soon as I wake up, I brush my teeth. And I have something before I go to work. I eat handful of nut, protein beverage and frozen blueberry with yogurt. These are substitutions of my breakfast. And it has been almost 2 years for doing this routine.
Had an exercise, make a sentence out of the available set of words. "We might be taking on a school trip next week" is what I came up with, where the "take on" means "undertake".
Would it make sense stylistically? Can you imagine someone use it in their speech? Maybe in a sarcastic tone.
After blowing up dozens of balloons with my mouth, I feel _____.
I find it hard to express feeling, even in my first language.
Thank you.
I'm a grad student in Korea, and English is really hard for me.
At the age of 22, I fell in love with my boss, and at the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences.
Can I see a show of hands of anyone here who didn’t make a mistake or do something they regretted at 22? Yep. That’s what I thought. So like me, at 22, a few of you may have also taken wrong turns and fallen in love with the wrong person, maybe even your boss. Unlike me, though, your boss probably wasn’t the President of the United States of America. Of course, life is full of surprises.
Not a day goes by that I’m not reminded of my mistake, and I regret that mistake deeply.

Does the following work?

I love to read, but while reading english books, I often skip the words that I don't understand and move on to the next sentence.
I feel like there's a better way to read so I can learn stuff from the book. (ofc immersion is important, but I want a more efficient way to learn. As my reading level rises, I learn little to nothing per book.) I know some ppl will highlight words they don't know on the book and search up the meaning of them later. However, highlighting 'em seems like a huge workload. Also, idk what to highlight. Should I highlight alll the words that I'm not sure of or should I only highlight words that are common/that I'm interested in? How can I review the words highlighted later?
Also, is there another way to learn thru books, like sentence structure, gramma and vocabs.
TLDR : Should I highlight new words while reading or is there another method?What words should I highlight and how to review those words?
Does the word “transfer” mean just changing into a different position in the same company or also changing your working place? Is there a specific word for that?
What does "deficit" mean in the following? Does it mean that the amount of money spent on producing the goods is greater than the amount earned from those goods? Or does it mean the amount of goods produced is smaller than the amount of goods needed?
The UK's deficit in manufactured goods fell slightly in the last three months.
This is the excercise.

Hello Peter, I'm in Japan, here is beautiful, the streets are very clean and quiet. I'm visiting the shops here in Tokyo, they sell a lot of gadgets of anime and manga characters, obviously mangas and videogames. I'm eating delicious food, sushi and ramen, I'm not used to this flavours. I'm planning to visit the temples.
Why don't you came here with me? We can do karaoke, relax in the park. We can go eat melonpan wich is a type of sweet bread, and have fun tasting all the strange drinks they sell here.
Let me know what you think about this.
Bye 🙂
Hello everyone, hope you’re doing great. Can you please help me with this?
So this is what I want to say:
He was recording a 20 minute video and when he was halfway through it, he realized he was wearing his shirt inside out.
I was wondering if I could shorten it like this:
He was recording a 20 minute video and realized halfway through that he was wearing his shirt inside out.
Or
He was recording a 20 minute video and realized he was wearing his shirt inside out halfway through.
Which one is correct? And my main question is if we can use “halfway through” by itself without anything added after it, like the last example. And are “halfway through” and “halfway into” the same in terms of meaning?
Hi, can anyone help me to translate please. In Chinese, when we say ‘the sun is big today’, which means it’s very hot today. What is the English way of saying? Thank you
