Dear Torsten,

Sorry for late replied you as I was busy with my last course. For my own photo posting, I already did as you instructed but It was incompleted. I dont know why!!! so please help me!

I usually use the pharse " I mean that.... or I'm really sorry " in the situation if I'm the person who is misunderstanding orthers. please tell me whether I use them correct or not !

Hi,

The phrases: 'I mean that' and 'I'm really sorry' are acceptable in these sorts of contexts:

A What are you trying to say?

B I mean that you should not drive so quickly.

A I suppose you know about the accident?

B Yes, I'm really sorry that it happened.

Hi everybody!The essays that I have read right now was very funny.But it's seems to me that financial difficulty is not so big trouble for some countries. Last week I saw on TV that London and perhaps all GB got good profit in Cristmas week. Nevertheless I was very glad to read this text and I've known many interesting thing about "sorry" and "humble pie". It's very usefull to get information about idioms, becouse many people use it in their daily life.

Hi,

Let me explain - 'thereby hangs a tale' suggests: inside what I have just told you, there is something else that you should know. The expression is 'eat humble pie' and that means: show everyone and admit that you have made a mistake.

Hi Alan:

What amazing essay!!!! I enjoyed it a lot. I quite understood the meaning of the word "sorry" and the expressions "eat humble pie" and others I surprised because my nickname is "humblelou" and I didn't know the root of this word, but now I know it. bye.

Hello there it´s me again .
you know that essay is very well structured , quite well actually although isn´t it a bit too long? i´m impressed i must say however; i don´t know about eating humble pie it´ll be a reckoning of course for all of those who are looking for some sort of vindication.
Well @ least i´m in that sort of category. I´m brazen out.

Once again congratulations you guys are doing outstanding ...give you the props i tell u. Have a good one.
