Hi Torsten,
I'v got 10 correct out of the test ,but actually I can't tell the reason of my choices.
Now I'v heard and read the article"start and begin",that is wonderful.I can distinguish the differrence between the two words now,many thanks!
By the way ,I want to ask why there are no letters since March 3th.I havn't received your e-mail for nearly half a month,or is that the end ?
I'm looking forward for your replay,thank you!

I think i "start" to understand slightly difference between start and begin,"start" use in the sudden condition and "begin" use in the time which is being used to for someone for a span, am i right? but Is there any more simple explain?

I really appreciate this listening. I think the speaking velocity was more natural than other audios I've heard.
I would like to have more listenings closer to the natural, common way of speaking/reading of those who has the english as mother language.

Hello Toreston, I would like to say Thankyou for your help. As I said before I'm a teacher at kindergarden and at this school the medium of communication is English so at least I can communicate and experes my idea but for the time being I like to improve the writing skill.If possible I have some questions about the tense(present perfect),passive and active voice.Millon thaks!

I used both words many times but never paid much attention on the difference. When I got this exercise I really amazed how different is the usage of these two words. As we preactice English we become accustomed to practical use of words .We can tell where to say "start" and where to "begin" but without a defined logic .The logic used for this explanation is really great.

I am enjoying the experience with the forum.
