Hi! What do the following two sentences (from In My Day) mean? It was an awkward question with which to be awakened.(I am confused by the structure) "I'm being buried today," she declared briskly, as though announcing an...

Sophie1994 Thanks for your thorough and excellent explanation. Above all, not until I read your response did I find that the second sentence was really interesting. To my mind, In My Day is a bit difficult for me to understand because it's full of philosophy.

"Terrorism, broadly speaking, in Africa is still tightly constrained to regional or local political dynamics." I can't get through the meaning of the sentence above.

Sophie1994 @sunilmishra7756 Sorry, I got 'rape' wrong. Men tend to be increasingly greed before sweets. They must be taught a lesson before they know how to make a balance. Now men are becoming aware of those problems, aren't we?

Hi, everyone. I've just learned an essay from my textbook- Diogenes and Alexander by Gilbert Highet. I like the essay very much for its precise language. But also I don't understand why did Diogenes take his old cask and roll it...

Sophie1994 Indeed, that's an interesting article.You mean they were doing something useless like Diogenes's cask rolling? So that's a kind of sarcasm and it's no use to fight for possessions. No possessions, no wars. A servant is the possession that a real man doesn't...

Sophie1994 I see. Now it's easy to edit .But I think there should be some categories so that users can easily find the posts they're interested in. And there are more advertisements posts. This is a problem.

Sophie1994 You mean I need to write frequently to practise my English, yeah? I agree. But I also need correction for those I write. I think I will make much progress if someone point out my mistakes in my English writing,
