What color shirt are you wearing?

[Maeryna]

I think it is better cold rather than hot. It is very hot here. It has been hot for several days already. Looks like you are I hour ahead than me. Are working tomorrow?. Here in Malaysia, the chinese are celebrating The Chinese New Year today. Every year the Malaysian are sharing the festival and we are given two days of public holidays. So tomorrow I'm not going to work until Tuesday. I'll start on Wednesday.

[Mister Micawber]

Yes, I have a full day's work tomorrow. Because today was Sunday, Yokohama Chinatown was packed with tourists for the festivities!

can anyone here let m know how can i do to get a good Toeic score?

[Torsten]

You can improve your TOEIC score if you change your habits. For example, you have developed the habit of ignoring basic rules of the English language. Get rid of this habit. Start following basic rules.

About TOEIC test I/set9/ex2 .I think that there is a little misleading in this test - "the swimmers are plunging into the water head first " ,but REMEMBER.Never slide head first. This can lead to submarining - plunging into the water and propelling right to the bottom of the pool. Unless your pool is very deep, you run the risk of hitting your head, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Please provide a direct link to the question, Gregory.

The advice you offer is sound, but that does not necessarily make the test question wrong or misleading.

Mister Micawber says -- Why "the swimmers are plugging into the water head first" ?-- Plunging, not 'plugging'.' the head or the arms first ?-- We normally dive with our arms initially back but swung forward on the dive, so 'arms first'.
Can I say "the people in the picture are throwing their arms down into the water?-- No.
>>>>>>
I can't say that this sentence is wrong.I'm only learner and I'm beginning to wonder why this sentence is correct.
I understant Mister Micawber interpretation ,but I have question ---can I say ? ------- """ The swimmers are plunging into the water head first with both arms raised over head """ ----- ???
Thanks.

[Mister Micawber]

Their arms are not raised over their heads, however, Gregory - their arms are stretched out in front of them.

[Mister Micawber]

It must be possible, Gregory. Most Japanese do.

Japanese is very difficult to learn and I am full of admiration for you Mr.Micawber .Thanks again.

[Comehcm]

I don't think you can rephrase it like that, because then you change the meaning of the first idea.

[Gregory7]

What you mean ? Please more details.
