The term "selfie" or "selfies" is a fairly new internet slang known as a picture taken by yourself with a camera phone or a digital camera. It's usually uploaded to a social media site, such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.
Selfie (plural: selfies) is a noun. These days you'll probably hear a lot of people say, "Let's take a selfie!" Why do people take selfies? To show off? Get attention? Because it's fun and camera phones are so easy to use? We all have our reasons but it's definitely a phenomenon, so it's an important word to know! Here is a funny read on eight types of selfies you should never take!!
Have you ever wanted to compliment someone on a special feature they have, like their pouty lips or cute dimples but never know what it's called? Hopefully this image can help illustrate the many things on our faces. I've also tried to include other terms that many ESL learners are not commonly familiar with, such as the hairline, nostril, earlobe, jaw, mole. These are equally important but not also emphasized by other illustrations.
Can you believe that so many people make this mistake and not even realize there's actually a difference between "every day" and "everyday"? Because the pronunciation is similar, knowing which one to use in writing can sometimes become a challenge. But don't worry, it's not so difficult once you know some tips! An easy way to remember this is to think of "every day" as the same as "each day." Every time you're stuck on which one to use, simply consider if "each day" would work in the sentence.
For example, "This is my each day lunch" would not work in the sentence, therefore, we know it must not be "every day" and should be "everyday." You will also notice in the sentence above that the word "lunch" is a noun. That also immediately tells us we should use the adjective "everyday" to describe the noun. Try these sentences below. Remember, try inserting "each day" first. Does it make sense? If yes, use "every day." Is there a noun after it? If yes, use "everyday." (1) What should I do? I'm so hungry ______________. (2) This is my ___________ life at work. (3) Should I go swimming ____________ next week? (4) ___________ is a new day. (5) My _________ hairstyle is very boring. Answers: (1) every day, (2) everyday, (3) every day, (4) Every day, (5) everyday This weekend is a special one for my husband's family as his younger brother will be getting married on beautiful Whidbey Island, Washington. Weddings, graduation, new baby and other celebrations can be fun and exciting but it can also be intimidating especially if it's a formal one. Are you familiar with the names of these tableware and the order of how to use these utensils? In a formal setting, we always use the utensils starting from the outside. This means we use in order of soup spoon, salad fork, dinner fork, and dinner knife. When we're finished with dinner, we move to the dessert fork and spoon placed on top of your plates.
This is similar to your wine and water glasses. We begin with the white wine, move to the red wine and then the water glass. The cup and saucer is usually not brought to your table until it's time for dessert. That's my favorite part! No matter how full I am, I always look forward to the dessert. As my husband says all the time, "There's always room for dessert." **Place settings can vary across cultures The other day when I was taking the elevator down to my car, there was a middle-aged man who was extremely talkative. He walked into the elevator and immediately said, "How's everyone doing today?" The other three people standing with me in the elevator were all trying to avoid conversation with him by either looking on their phones or not making any eye contact with him. Being talkative seemed so natural to him. I thought to myself, this man must be an extrovert!! Do you know what an extrovert means and what the difference is between and extrovert and introvert? Look at the picture below, who are you most like? How to remember the difference? Just remember, introvert is internal and extrovert is external (outside environment).
Knowing the difference between an introvert and extrovert may be important in interviews. Some companies might want to know if your personality fits into the workplace. So a question on introvert/ extrovert might come up. It's also very important in teaching, as understanding students better can make learning for them a lot more motivating and welcoming. If you're a student, understanding your own personality will help you organize your time better and push yourself to new boundaries. If you're an employee or manager, being familiar with different types of personalities can help you improve relationships. Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Take a short quizto see which one you are! |
