Mark

I just had a fantastic lesson with my online students who I’ve been teaching for over 6 months now, it is so rewarding to see them be able to express themselves in English so much better than before 😄 sometimes teaching is the best job in the world

「趣味は何ですか？」この質問は英語で何ですか？“What is your hobby?”“What do you like doing?”Mark先生の意見:私は_____が趣味ですI like listening to music 🎵 My hobby is _____. ⚽️ (趣味)I like _____. 🧑🍳 (ほし、好きです)I enjoy _______. 🏃　(楽しむ)And now… 今は趣味は何ですか？What’s your hobby?英語で返信してください！　I look forward to your responses in English :)(PS. the snoring sound is from my dogs! Picture below - 私の犬は大声でいびきをかく 🤦♂️🐕)

My first Christmas away from home. What can I say?I'm blessed to be surrounded by people in the same position as me, these guys and girls have come to mean so much to me.Merry Christmas to you all😄

今天的问题：on the bed, in bed, in the bedOn the bed 是指你在被子上盖着被子，玩电脑，玩手机等'A child is jumping on the bed'In the bed 在床上，被子下，'the' 给我的感觉是你想强调这张床.'I was in the bed, as it broke'In bed 是指你等一下想睡了，或者你刚睡醒了，还没醒来了。'I don't want to go out drinking, I'm already in bed'这样理解清楚吗？

今天的问题： pursue 和 chase 的区别普通的翻译：追求，追寻，追捕都代表有什么还不能得到的东西，或者人。 pursue 也代表追这个东西，做法有次序，做法不是随便的。chase 的做法比较乱，没有规划，文明。例子： (pursue)I'd like to pursue a career in teaching这样写代表我想好好做每一步才成为一位老师The police will continue to pursue the criminal这样写代表警察很懂怎么追寻罪犯，不是乱七八糟例子： (chase)The lion chases the zebra是自然的感觉，像动物一样He's 11 years old, of course he's going to chase girls.也是自然的感觉，没有办法不追Sometimes It's difficult, sometimes It's easy. Sometimes you have to wait, sometimes you get it straight away. And Sometimes you get it, But Don't want it any longer. Because you're already off *chasing* some other dream in this '*pursuit* of happiness' world.

Today's conference was based around education and how we can see education from different perspectives. This is an area I'm particularly interested in.我们学校今天有国际教育的活动，题目包括：西方和东方教育系统的区别，少数民族高考加分制，以及儿童语言习得。

今天的问题：You can leave now 和 You may leave now 有什么区别？两个有一样的位置的人之间可以用 'you can'，而且关于机会的句子应该使用 'you can'。老师，父母，有比你高的位置的人可以说 'you may'，而且关于这些人让你做什么东西也要使用 'you may'。如：朋友提工作的机会Friend: You can (have the opportunity) earn a lot of money.如：临考试的时候。Teacher: You may begin the exam.

Let me share a story. It's a little complicated but I felt like a genius after solving the Problem 😝

Happy 70th birthday to the country that has taken me in and shown me a whole new world. To me as a guest here, China is without doubt the most welcoming country to foreigners I have ever known. Thank you for the memories you have given me already, and for those to come!祝大家国庆节快乐！

今天的问题：sth. doesn't add up to me是什么意思？怎么用呢？其实这个说法听起来很低到，我很推荐你们把这句话学好。当你有感觉什么东西在一种情况不对的时候，就可以用这个句子。举给你们举个例子：如：he said he didn't eat the chocolate, but he is the only one that could have been in my room. Something doesn't add up to me...如：the witness said he saw the crime happen during his lunch hour, but he works 30km away from the scene of the crime. Something doesn't add up to me...如：the taxi driver covered the meter and told me the 10 minute journey costs 200rmb. Something doesn't add up to me...你们来举自己的例子😏有空我给你们该任何的错误

今天晚上的问题：if only 和 only if 的区别If only 正在的希望；比较夸张如：she really loves guys who are good dancers, if only I could dance! (我很想会跳舞）Only if 特定的要求，会让你。该你的想法如：I'll go to party, but only if you come too(我特定的要求是你陪我）自己的例子你们可以写在评论区😄

今天的问题：'Sort of' 是什么意思？什么时候用？我们平时把 sort of 作为 '差不多' 的意思如：A: Did you get everything done today?B: Well, sort of. I still have one more thing I have to do.如：A: are 'work' and 'labour' the same thing?B: Sort of. They have their differences in meaning, though.你们自己的例子跟每次一样都很受欢迎哦！

今天晚上的问题：什么时候加 'the'？ 'the'是重视什么？The KTV 还是 KTV?没有'the'：（说KTV这个活动）如：KTV is something all foreigners should try out when they're visiting China.如: I love going to KTV, it always makes for such a great night out.加'the'： （说KTV的特定地方，要加名词）如：The KTV place we went to yesterday was sick!如：I want to go back to the KTV we went to last week.大家，我要继续学习了！明天才回信息la

今天的问题：trip 和 journey 的区别在哪里？Trip - short journey away from home如: have you packed for the trip? You'll need clothes for 4 days.Journey - you don't know when you will come back - also for experiences you haven't finished如: I don't know who I'll meet on this journey, but I am so excited to start!如: learning English is a never-ending journey!请大家在评论区举自己的例子😄

今天的问题：'Head over heels' 这个英文说法是什么意思？ 怎么用？意思是特别有爱上了一个人如：I fell head over heels for her when I met her如：that guy is completely head over heels for his girlfriend请大家来试一试在评论区用自己的例子

今天早上的问题是：'吃醋' 用英语怎么说1. To be jealous如：he was jealous when he found his girlfriend gave her number to another guy.2. Be green-eyed如：She's so Green-eyed all the time, she needs to chill.你们还有什么例子吗？我想不到别的翻译😳😝请大家试一下把上面的翻译方式放自己的句子里

今天的问题：person, persons, people, peoples 的区别1. Person (一个）人 （正常）One person can make a big difference.2. Persons （一个以上）人 (很正式）These persons here present.3. People （一个以上）人 (正常）People can make mistakes.4. Peoples (各种各类）人 (一般关于国家的人）The peoples of England and Germany both love football.清楚吗？😄欢迎大家试一下自己的例子

英式英语的课今天早上的问题：more than plenty 这个英文说法是什么意思？Plenty - 很多/足够/不少比如说：A: should we hurry up?B: No, we have plenty of time!More than plenty 英式礼貌的说法，还是 '很多' '足够' 的意思A: would like you some more food?B: No Thanks, I have more than plenty这样说会让你听起来母语者，而这样的礼貌在英国很受欢迎。好好注意强调的地方 'more'。请你们用自己的例子给我看或者听！祝大家好一天

今天晚上的课：'老油条' 用英语怎么说？1. A veteran 经验丰富的人如：he's been a doctor for 30 years, he's a veteran around here2.
