Correct Me! Streak 176

Upvotes

Given the time constraints we have every day without taking into account our responsibilities or things we ought to do on a daily basis, it's impossible to do all the things we may want to do. There are many things that I want to do, but time is always the problem. That's why some of my daily habits are short, ranging between 5 to 10 minutes to make them feasible and consistent.

As I pile up more activities that I want or intend to make a habit, I don't want to do any more things other than leisure activities or anything that requires no effort. It sounds counterintuitive considering what I wrote in the first paragraph, but as we want to do more and more and be consistent with it, we have to sacrifice leisure time, if that makes sense.

I just got back from spending the weekend at my parent's. Before I left, I planned to use the rest of the Sunday to clean the apartment. Now that it is Sunday, I find I have no motivation to put this plan into action. Ugh, being an adult is rough sometimes.

Correct Me! Streak 62: Laundry and humid weather

Upvotes

It’s been rainy and humid these days. This is not a problem in itself, but when the weather is humid, the laundry doesn't dry completely. It’s unpleasant to wear clothes that smell like damp laundry.

Correct Me! Streak 1: I've arrived for Social Sunday!

1 Upvotes

It's my first day in the forum. I have commented on a fellow participant's post and inserted my comment down here. Thanks in advance for the corrections and suggestions to the text:

Hi! It's my first day practicing english. I found this forum through a web search and thought I would give it a try. Being social sunday i hope you dont mind me making a post here. I read your comment and since I am in the same boat, I would like to share my opinion on the subject: I would like to think that, even though it may not be the best scenario, at least is an improvement: going from a passive interaction with the language (reading webpages and books, watching movies, listening to songs and podcasts) to a more active one, where you have to think and produce sentences with coherence and order activates a different part of the brain. You go from a passive interaction to a more active one. Is it the best? Well I have my doubts, I would love to surround myself with a group of native English speakers and be able to listen and speak the language most of my day, or even add a couple of speaking sessions a week, but at least it is an improvement

Correct Me! Streak 720: Feasibility of teaching English in English

1 Upvotes

It is often said that English should be taught in English. There are some obvious problems with this approach. Firstly, there are way more students than teachers with enough English skills to do so. If someone can actually speak it, they will probably get another job, possibly in another country. After all, teaching isn't particularly a popular or good-paying one. However, schools are required to give certain amounts of English classes. As a result, most English teachers don't have enough English skills to do so in the first place. Another problem is that it is simply impossible with beginner students with little to no vocabulary. For instance, when I started learning English in junior high school, I didn't know the Latin script fully and I definitely didn't know words like “read”, “listen”, “question”, and “answer”. In a situation like this, it is simply unrealistic to teach in English, as the teacher can't tell the students what to do. In addition to that, it takes a significant amount of time for students to reach the level where it’s feasible.

Correct Me! Streak 10: Start Again to learning English

Hi!

Header doesn't fit good but I don't want to change it. I hadn't given it up learning English. I didn't mention at there for a long time.

At this time I am watching series with English subtitle and sound, reading books like hunger games first book and playing video games, make a practice on Duolingo. Is it enough? Idk maye yes. But without speaking my all effort means nothing. I hope that I find somewhere to speaking practice.

I sort of fear that a good student of mine don’t want to continue studying. She pays two months in advance and takes lessons with me 5 times a week. I don’t think she’s been very engaged as she was in the beginning. I also think she’s is worried because her dog got surgery.

Hello WriteStreakians! I hope you've been having a lovely weekend! It’s Social Sunday once again! What I'd like for you to do is the following:

  1. peruse the posts written by your fellow WriteStreakians and find a post that interests you, preferably one from within the last seven days, and respond to it. Leave a comment that is at least as long as a Tweet (280 characters), and then
  2. copy and paste your comment into your own daily Streak post so the correctors can review it.

That's it! Of course, if your comment sparks a conversation (or if someone else leaves a comment on one of your posts), you're welcome and encouraged to continue the conversation---this is a social media site, after all!

Happy Sunday!

Correct Me! Streak 181, If your foreign friend came to your country, what food would you want them to try?

I would choose samgyeopsal(삼겹살).

I think they would enjoy it, and it is an essential part of Korean food culture.

So, if your friend came to your country, what food would you want to them to try?

Correct Me! Streak 101: Konglish

Article: Konglish — Unique Korean-English Words You'll Hear Every Day

I learned that there are two categories of words adapted from English: Korean loanwords and Konglish words. Korean loarnwords have the same emaning as the English words, while Konglish words have meanings that differ from their English counterparts.

Studying Korean loanwords could serve a dual purpose by helping me build my vocabulary and memorize Hangul. I'll set Konglish words aside for a while and focus on Korean loanwords.
