. A dictionary will give you the meanings of all four words. 'On the fritz' is an idiom meaning 'out of order'. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

I don't know why I think that you don't delete my photo from the score-board? This isn't fair that I have to fill in the same test for the third time if I want to remain on the score-board. 25th November 2010. Kati svaby _________________ Don't walk behind me; I may not lead.

No need to mention this with every post, Kati. Once is enough. Or why don't you just PM Torsten to find out why this happened? _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Dear Micawber,
Thank you for your answer.
Yesterday evening I got several letters from Torsten, but he couldn't reply for my question:where did my photos from the score-board and the dates of my work on 24th November from the progress report disappear. On 24th November evening and night I did all the tests what I did few months ago but they disappeared whereas the other pictures - with who I was together - remained. There is no answer. Torsten wrote me there are your photos. Yes, they were there those photos what I put on 25th November because the previous day's photos and their dates disappeared.
Incredible story. Best regards: kati svaby _________________ Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. |

The phrase: on the fritz -we say when sth is in the state of disorder or despair/ not working/meaning “in a bad way” or “in bad condition”, malfunctioning of an appliance -The TV is on the fritz again. -The washing machine’s on the fritz again. AmE: on the blink -My washing machine has gone on the fritz, and I have a load of muddy clothes to deal with. -My car is on the fritz again. The Hungarian called the German solders Fritz. _________________ Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. |

Hi,
The 7. button is got stucked as I have written twice "peering" and it has showed my first mistake when I wrote "peeping". It is impossible to correct it.
Thanks. _________________ Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. |

The test is correct, but you are choosing the wrong word.
'Peeping' is the CORRECT answer. 'Peering' is an INCORRECT answer.
She called the police immediately after she saw the Peeping Tom outside her window.
A Peeping Tom is someone who likes to watch someone else in secret while they are undressing or unclothed and unaware of the intrusion of their privacy. _________________ "Inside every old person is a young person wondering what happened."
