our relationship is not the classic brother-sister one
Hmm..If you don't bother to answer me,what kind of relationship do you have?
I hope that I'm not being too indiscreet.

Ah... You must love your brother very much...
I didn' t complain. I like children, and I like paying attention to them (except if it is my sister).
Oh..but why??She is such a cute little girl.I think you are being a little bit liar now..I'm sure you love her,even if teases you sometimes (at least I guess so) ..

1) Without "it".
3) How old is he? What is his name? What class of Primary School does he attend?
He is 8 years old and goes to B class of primary school.
I couldn't do otherwise.I don't want to make him feel sad.
He has the same name with you.By the way when he sees a post of you he says''hey!Look,my name!!I wrote this!''XD

Not necessarily, but if sophisticated language comes out withouth real effort (1)not like the reply I sent to Domenica to her request for help, she knows, er, well, she might want to publicise it, coz I think I have deleted my PM box), naturally, I mean, then why not use it?
2)I believe that there is no rule such as "always use sophisticated vocabulary and syntax" or "always speak and write simply". Every occasion and every subject requires different use of the language.
Word hunters, you might have said.
What, in your opinion, is pretentious language?
From Russia with love, Mr Bond.
Give my regards to the babushkas.
Oops!Sorry for the delay!I've just saw these new posts.
1)Well ,here it is the very sophisticated Crook's message:
2)Generally I agree with you.When I say ''pretentious language'' I refer to the use of complex,rare and very formal words (while it's not necessary) in order to impress the others(''στομφώδης γλώσσα'' in greek).In my way of thinking this is a bit funny.Απάντηση: Λίγη βοήθεια για επιλογή subforum

Then you should write about them in a separate sentence.
Well, I do not think that a 79 years old lady from England (i.e. a native English speaker) is going to put the word "true" in the place of the word "truth".
*sheep, its plural is irregular

Bah, you are comitting BLASPHEMY!
Cannibalism is rare, though it is perfectly understandable in terms of genetic selfishness. Ethically, though, it is cruel (not that killing other animals isn' t, this is a matter that deeply concerns me), but if you have no other choice but to eat one of your own species, what should you do, die of hunger? I think it is a custom which has developed exactly due to the lack of food in some areas. I mean, you cannot go hunting in a dessert island with no other land in the vicinity.
Btw, a local tribe in New Zealand (if I am not mistaken), who used to be cannibals, were the first organisms who had the crazy cow disease (I do not know how it is in English). Coincidence?
Domenica, when you said "Oh,stop it..you're being disgusting..." you sounded to me like an old lady, resembling to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II of England, who would say that in a most despiseful way, a bit like "Oh, no Shanky, don' t lick the shoes of the lady!" when her little doggie was naughty.
1)Well,actually I knew it and not it's no a coincidence.Mad cow disease was caused by feeding cows parts of sheeps or even cows.They were made ''pathetic cannibals'' in someway. And that obviously is against the nature.
2)haha..really?..ok..I'm gonna tell you the true..:who:I'm a 79 years old lady from england and I like talking with youths..

The phrase as long as means "under some circumstances"...Maybe erasing the :long as: would be just fine
Now, the correct form is "make someone do sth", so you should not use the gerund form
Finally, you must add a "of the" after the word rest
I am evil, I know..Crookshanks taught me this way
Thank you teacher
Oh, almost forgot it...I am keen on writing essays and compiling extended answers..Crook, do you have anything interesting to discuss?

I. No, you have asked me again. My dad' s Greek, my mom' s Dutch and I have grown up in a humble little town down in the island of Crete, my name isn' t Pete, 'n I' ve got cold feet.
II.
III. Alright, I didn' t mean to offend you! I am just having some difficulties reading your texts.
IV. Woof, woof.
I am at θετική, and I do not intend to be examined in that inhumane lesson called Ancient Greek. I aim to study Biology, so I think I am going to stay at the same school discipline.
What kind of faculty do you desire to go to?
V. Er, well, the thought that the term is a bit obsolete did actually cross my mind, but I was too enthusiastic a thinker and writer to erase it at the moment. Actually, there is nothing wrong with the words themselves, it' s just that some people have given them a different meaning.
VI. Ah, well, be cannot be sure. But I do believe that many people exaggerate with all those dangers that the use of technological equipment might sustain. Actually, if electronic devices were THAT dangerous, many people would have been dying of cancer. It is true that talking regularly on the mobile phone for hours -personally, I don' t have one- can bring about health afflictions, but their controlled use is not the most dangerous thing in the world, I believe. And when I refer to control, I mean that we shouldn' t use our mobile phone unless we have no other choice. Asking to use a cabled phone won' t make one sound poor, old-fashioned or mobilephone-phobic, if that' s what they think.
But then we come to GMs. And that is what can cause real problems. You mentioned something about DNA mutations. Well, quite a lot of scientists claim that the human organism does not have the necessary enzyms to break the molecules of the new DNA or the proteins the latter creates -to be precise, designs-. Consequently, cancer risk gets higher and higher.
I still have to say, though, that the danger of humanity' s being manipulated by food companies -you know, food is not something you can easily do without for a few days, unlike petroleum- is much, much greater than any health implication. I just don' t want Monsanto to control half of the Earth' s food trade.
VII. Don' t think that I did less mistakes. No that I see it, have written a silly " but I wish the best of luck" (forgetting to include the object, "you").
Ah, you did not offend anyone.
I want to answer you as long as the bold text,but I can't express what I'm thinking in english.I don't want to make you correcting my post for the rest Easter holidays.

I trully agree with you!You 've just described Domenica's homemade pizza.I don' t think it would be called "gyros", then.
Me too, but not that disgusting thing that most so-called "Italian Restaurants" serve. This is some kind of American thick, soft bread with too much cheese and greasy ham. That is absolutely disgusting pizza. REAL pizza is consisted of a thick layer of crispy bread, some cheese -in the original version, this was Mozzarella- (not too much, just to cover the bread), tomatoes and oregano. Well, I like pizza that has salami or peppers on it, though under conditions -I don' t think that a lake of fat on the cheese is the most healthy -not to mention delicious- thing in the world-.
I particularly insist on the oregano and garlic part. Those two ingredients give pizza an extraordinary taste.
It' s not our fault, nobody forced you to abstain from meat. If you cannot stand it, simply don' t do it. Personally, I would advise you to reconsider the effect religion has on your life.

By silly mistake.
Well, I also made some silly mistakes (I have corrected them in my original post), so don' t be sorry.
*they kill only a few hares a year/per year.
*not name, word
I think that the English word for "aerobolo" is airsoft or sth (a penpal of mine really likes that stuff).
Of course we do! Where do you spot the contradiction?
Oh yes!
Ah, luck is relevant.
*and that I now feel sorry about it OR that I feel sorry about it now
* I could never kill anything again
Well, I guess you don' t kill those disgusting flies or parasitic mosquitos either, do you?
Haha..Ok,you're right!I do.

Then do it in English, please.
OK, then let' s get started!
*that really helps me
why did you put that damn apostrophe?
I would advise you to put commas etc. (I don' t remember how they are called), because they do take their usage into consideration when they correct a composition (esp. in the Michigan ECPE).
HUNTING? I HATE hunting.
It might once have been necessary for humankind to hunt, but nowadays, it' s cruel. They' re killing animals for no reason, just for fun, and that alone (that they like to kill) demonstrated their morality. Many hunting practices torture the animal-target, as it is forced to move for many kilometres hurt by the hunter' s (or hunters') dogs. Not to mention that hunters often do not respect the law, and hunt protected species or species during their reproduction period (which is prohibited). Last but not foremost (that is a parrottish expression, I know -note that no word such as "parrotting" exists in English, it is my own invention), humans might also fall into traps, and that huuuuuuuuurts... Imagine how many animals are hurt this way every year, just because some people are sadists.
On the other hand, hunting might still be vital for the survival of some people living in remote areas (e.g. Siberia).
By silly mistake .I know that's not correct.Ok thanks for the advice.
*It's punctuation the word you want(hellyes!! I remembered sth you didn't!)
Ok ,I agree with you.:iagree:However my father and my bros hunt.At least they love & respect nature,they kill only a few hares in the year and of course they don't go against the law.The only hunt at/in/on() the hunting season.When I was 6 I killed a small bird with aerobolo( I don't know the english name).My brother wanted to teach me how to shoot.I feel very sorry about it now.

Whoa, whoa, wait for a minute! Many corrrections are going to be carried out in a few seconds, but nobody wants to make you feel sorry about them... If you want us to stop, you just have to say it, there is nothing you should be ashamed for.
It's ok!!I like being corrected.That's really helps me to improve and refresh my english!I wanna thank you,honestly.(Ok,I 'm gonna buy it even if it's commercial.By the way Mrs Loti Petrovits-Androtsopoyloy told me about this huge amount of money for the advertisements.She is familiar with the marketing director of Harry Potter books.)

well since we are in this crazy correction process,i'll have a say as well.
"Ron's twin brothers" OR if u wanna go with ur way,rain or shine "the twin brothers of Ron"-whose existence i seriously doubt.
and as 4 harry potter books:
a.i don't find them as commercial.it's just a widespread spectacular story.
b.i agree with the movies part
c.what do u think of the fight of Hogwarts???
the conclusion of my potter-experience:each and every one of the books is literally unputdownable!!!
p.s.:what does ITER stand 4?
urs sincerely...
Ok,thanks for the corrections!!My english is horrible so please forgive me.
a.Well, actually I've heard that it has been spent an exrtaordinary amount of money for advertisements etc..So Harry Potter's books is more books with excellent marketing.I really liked them -I mean it,I can still remember even the commas in those books-but now I think that they are not something so special.:/ I don't know..Anything commercial makes me feel sick.
b.You are right!Terrible special effects and not exactly what the books say.
c.The fight?You mean when Sneip killed Dumbledor ( i don't know how it's written)?I love it!One of my favourites parts!However I didn't like the way Rooling(neither this i know how is written ) described the funeral of Dumbledor.
d.ITER stands for:International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITER

I think I' ve reached 40 (my favourite one at that time was the prisoner of Azkaban), but now I laugh at the thought of it.
No, it' s not exactly commercial. Most books are hardly commercial. Now, that after Harry Potter came books that were Harry Potter - like, is another story - these are commercial, actually.
Haha..One of my favourites ,too!!
I loved the chapter on which the twins brother's of Ron left school flying.(I think it was on 5 book or sth.)

Ok let me guess..Oh,sh*t!I made too many errors.My english sucks.:/(the 3 ''l''was by mistake ,there is no word with ''lll'')
I agree with you.In my opinion ()alternative sources of energy ,like solar, is a better solution.However I'm not against to nuclear energy as long as it doesn't pollute the enviroment of course.
1)is => are
2)it is crossed out or of course shouldn't be placed there.
Check your text again. You have two errors.
Do you think that there is any source of energy that makes absolutely no harm to the environment?
No, I don't think so.At least let's try to find the most enviromentally friendly one.And to be honest I don't think that ITER is that friendly...If you ask me renewable energy is far better at the moment.

Thanks!!Most Grivas' books are absolutely excellent!I'm gonna check it.I finished english at high school B class(B2 level Michigan & B3 Edexcel) but now I would like to study for Proficiency.Domenica, you may take part in our conversation, no matter what your level in English is. This is not a topic to boast about our knowledge or to criticise others, it is about impoving every participants communication skills. You can make as many mistakes as you want, we will correct them -well, if we do find them-, so that you can learn from them.
A good grammar book... hmm... in proficiency level, you are supposed to have complete knowledge of the grammar rules... Well, it is actually not about rules, the best way to be good at grammar is feel the language. To do that, of course, you will first have to learn some rules, and then transform them into language consciousness.
Nevertheless, there are some grammatical phenomena that are quite unusual and are not mentioned in ordinary grammar books... Some books (like this one) include appendixes, though, which explain most such cases. In practice, however, you' ll find many exercises in the grammar section that are not clear grammar, but which may also contain phrasal verbs and some expressions or the use of prepositions, and which can only be learnt through the correction procedure plus some study.
Good luck!
