Audio English course for Beginners

[aun_g]

Hi

My name is Thida. I live in Australia. I have been here for 12 year now. My native country is Burma which is located in South East Asia.

My city is Melbourne. The weather is nice and cold. It is quiet place too.

Although I enjoyed living here, I do miss home a lot. I finished Diploma in Information Technology (Software Development). I like to study which can keep up my knowledge. I want to improve my English especially in writing. I am going to study nursing in a few week time.

I will write it later again.

Hi every body
I agree with the members who says that it would be better if there is an advanced course for teachers and I hope it will very soon. That does not mean that the current course is not helpful and interesting.
Thanks for all teachers who work on this web site.

Dear Torsten!
How are you today?
I listened the recording about the Sues' activities. I understood some parts and others no. Then, I read the text and with the help of my dictionary I could understood everything.Below, they are the answers:
1. She works in a large financial company;
2. She ussually starts working at 8:45; and
3. She likes the personal contact, because they come from all walks of life and are all ages.
If I'm wrong, please correct.
My best regards

Hi! Torsten.It's really exciting and interesting to try your grammar lesson. I didn't think there was a difference between "finish" and "end" (or I would say I thought there was a very slight difference berween the 2 words). But today I have realised that there's much more difference. As a result, I've got 7 questions right. Iwould never think this could happen to me!

Answers: She works for a financial company. She usually starts work at 8:45. She enjoys it because she loves it, I think.

Dear Torsten and Claudine,

It is great to receive your English lessons online. They are clear and interesting. I am eager for learning like that.

In the " Daily activities" recording spoken by Claudine is very well for non - native English. I find some mistakes in my pronounce and accent. I correct them properly. I submit my answers for these questions as below:

What company does Sue work for?
- She works for a large financial company
What time does she usually start work?
- She usually starts her work at 8.45 am.
Why does she enjoy the personal contact with her clients
- Because they come from all walks of life and all ages.

Thank you in advance for your attention in my message.

Cheers,
Trangtra

Dear Torsten,
I have just finished my test end vs. finish. I got nine of them right.The mistake is in the following question. Actually I was looking for the word finishes but since it was not there I just filled with finish. Can the word finishes be used in this case as he always does the same thing?

You could tell the time by him because he always ......... work at exactly the same time every day.

(a) ends
(b) ended
(c) finish
(d) finished

Thank you very much for your wonderful questions. Last test also I got the same score and soon I realised the mistakes but this time it is still confusing. So please help me
With regards
Mallinathan

Dear Mallinathan,

Many thanks for your message. I'm glad to hear you finished your finish/end test. As for your question, since the sentence is in the simple past, 'finished' is more appropriate. If you want more information, please read this.

Let me know what you think.
Regards,
Torsten

Dear Torsten,
Your English lessons are very interesting and useful!

I have just finished the end vs. finish test. I got 8 out 10.
I have also just finished the listening practise about Sue's job. I have had some difficulties in the comprehension of the third part, your third question, but after reading the transcript of the recording everything is clear now.
It's time to go to your next test about listen vs. hear.

Best regards
