What's the difference between There, Their and They're?

source: Learn English with Let's Talk 2014年11月29日
A most common mistake what students make is the difference between There, Their and They're in written English. This happens because these words sound the same when they are spoken. These Words sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. Therefore the words they're, their and there are Homophones. What is the difference between There, Their and They're?

THERE
There is the opposite of Here. It means “in that place” not here.
A: Where is my book? – B: It’s over there.
I will look for a hotel to stay when I arrive there.
There is/There are = to show that something exists.
There is a book on the table
There are many countries in Europe.

THEIR
Their is a possessive adjective which is used before a noun. It shows possession, that something belongs to them.
Their house is big.
All of their friends were crazy.
The children put their books in their school bags.

THEY’RE
They’re is a contraction of they are.
e.g. They’re happy = They are happy
They’re is usually before an adjective or a verb ending in ING.
They’re very interested in the project.
I personally think they’re crazy!
They’re singing loudly.

British vs. American English - Spelling Differences

source: Learn English with Let's Talk 2014年10月23日
There are some well-known spelling differences between British English and American English. Many of these spelling differences result from French influence on English. British English has a tendency to keep the spelling of many words of French origin. Americans try to spell words more closely to the way they sound phonetically and they tend to omit some letters.
The general spelling differences between British and American English are listed below.

British -our vs. American -or
Behaviour
Colour
Favourite
Flavour

Behavior
Color
Favorite
Flavor

British -re vs. American -er difference
centimetre
centre
kilometre
theatre

centimeter

British -ise vs. American -ize difference

British -ll vs. American -l difference

British -ogue vs. American -og difference

It is useful to learn both British and American English forms, but a good recommendation is to aim for consistency in your spelling.

Why Do People Dislike Other People? (English Listening Level 2 - Lesson 2)

source: Daily English Conversation 2016年2月11日
English Listening Level 2 - Lesson 2 - Why Do People Dislike Other People?
Some people don't like other people just because they look different.
I think that is silly.
I don't think that it is fair to judge someone by the way they look.
Some people look very nice, but they are mean or cruel.
Some people look very ordinary, but they are incredibly nice.
I remember when I was in grade one; I saw a girl across the room.
She had a mean look on her face.
I thought to myself that she was probably not a very nice person.
I stayed away from her, and played with the other children.
Then, we had to play a game, and the teacher said that she would pick partners for us.
The teacher picked the girl with the mean face as my partner.
I didn't think that the game would be much fun at all with a partner who seemed as mean
as that girl.
I walked up to her and said hello.
The girl's face changed.
She smiled at me, and she began to talk to me.
Her mean face disappeared.
We had lots of fun playing the game.
We laughed a lot and enjoyed each other's company.
That girl became my best friend.
Now when I look at her I see what is inside her.
Sometimes she doesn't smile, but I know what she is like.
She is a kind and funny person.
I have learned that you can't "judge a book by its cover."
It is not fair to dislike someone just because they don't look like you want them to look.
You have to get to know a person.
It doesn't matter to me what color a person's skin is.
It doesn't matter to me if they are short or tall, skinny or fat or happy or sad looking.
I judge people by how they treat me, and I try to treat people like I would want to be
treated.

I Want to Dye my Hair Green (English Listening Level 2 - Lesson 1)

source: Daily English Conversation 2016年2月9日
English Listening Level 2 - Lesson 1 - I Want to Dye my Hair Green.
Many of my friends have dyed their hair different colors.
I don't mean normal hair colors like brown or black.
My friends have dyed their hair orange, purple and blue.
I told my mother that I would like to dye my hair green.
I explained to my mother that I would only use food coloring.
The green would not last forever.
My mother said that dyeing your hair was a silly fad.
She said that I would not look good with green hair.
I said that if I couldn't dye my hair green, maybe I could get a nose ring.
My mother said "no."
I said that maybe a tattoo on my arm would be nice.
My mother said "no way."
My mother said that she did some crazy things when she was a young girl.
She said that she used to iron her hair to make it straight.
That sounds quite boring to me.
My friend Joan came over.
Her hair is dyed bright pink.
My father said "nice hair, Joan."
I don't think that he really meant it.
My mother says that when I am an adult I can dye my hair whatever crazy color I like, but
for now she would like me to leave my hair its natural color.
I tried to tell her that all my friends were doing it.
My mother asked, "if all your friends were jumping off a cliff, would you do it too?"
I said "no."
I think I'll have to wait to have green hair, but maybe by the time I'm old enough to dye
my hair green, I won't want it that color.
My mother says that fads change all the time.
One day something might be popular, and the next day it's not in style at all.
I'll just have to live without green hair for now.
I wonder what the fad will be next month.

10 Teenage Secrets teenagers will never tell you.

source: Learn English with Let's Talk 2014年11月7日
In this lesson Ceema brings you some of the teenage secrets.
1. Unauthorized usage of vehicles.
They drive Dad’s motorbike or car without his approval. When they meet with a minor accident and the vehicle gets damaged, They just say "I found it lying like that in a parking lot".
2. Hiding real ambitions
There’s so much pressure on the teenagers to become engineers or doctors. They want to become an air-hostess or an athlete, but find it tough to discuss it with my parents.
3. Watching porn films
Teenagers often watch porn films at their friends’ places or flip through adult magazines when their parents are not home. A lot of porn is also available on the Internet and some of the teenagers download short clips onto their mobiles.
4. Not revealing fights
sometimes teenagers fight with their friends, but there’s mutual understanding that they won’t let their parents know. And, usually, they sort out the differences themselves.
5. Practicing bad hygiene
To avoid bathing during the winter. They just go into the bathroom, wet their feet, face and hair, spray some deodorant and exclaim how cold the water was!
6. Keeping financial secrets
Some of the teenagers have taken up part-time jobs to meet their expenses, but they don’t tell their parents about it so that their pocket money is not reduced.
7. Memorizing phone numbers
They memorize the phone numbers of their friends whom their parents do not approve of so that their names don’t blink on their mobile phone.
8. Drug / Alcohol. Sexual abuse
Some of them get stuck with friends from whom they learn to smoke, drink, splurge, and other vices. They get entangled with a group and become addicted to the abuses.
9. Damaging property
while playing football or any other indoor games with their siblings, they break things for example, a flowerpot. They throw the broken pieces into a vacant, adjacent plot without my parents knowing.
10. Cheating on studies
Homework is often a team effort. They divide homework between friends so it becomes easier to finish it on time. At times, they also convince one of the studious fellows of their class to part with his homework and then copy it.

12 Spoken English Expressions with the Word 'NO'

source: Learn English with Let's Talk 2014年11月18日
No sweat.
This expression means “no difficulty” or “no problem.” Imagine your co-worker gives you a project:
“Can you get this done by tomorrow?”
“Sure – no sweat!”
(= it will be easy to finish by tomorrow)

No hard feelings
This phrase means you are not angry. You can use this expression after someone apologizes for doing something that could have made you angry, or when talking about a situation that could make you angry (but you are not).
“I’m really sorry about missing your birthday party – I know I said I’d be there, but then I had to work overtime, and my son got sick, and I got so busy I completely forgot to call you.”
“That’s OK – no hard feelings.”

No way!
There are three uses for this phrase.
It can mean “no possibility,” for example:
“There’s no way we can get home by 8. It’s already 7:30, and the traffic’s terrible – the drive will take at least an hour.”

No wonder
This expression means it is not surprising. You can use it when you can see the logical connection between a cause and effect.
“No wonder the baby is crying – his diaper needs to be changed.”

…no ifs, ands, or buts.
This expression means that there will be absolutely NO discussion, debate, negotiation, or doubt about something. Parents often use this phrase with children:
“You can’t watch TV until you finish your homework – no ifs, ands, or buts!“

No contest
Say this expression when talking about a competition or a comparison, in which one person or option was OBVIOUSLY better than the other; there is no possibility of the other person/option winning.
“Which restaurant is better – Subway or McDonald’s?”
“Subway, no contest! McDonald’s food is disgusting.”

This is no laughing matter
Use this expression when people are joking, laughing, or not being serious – and you want them to be more serious about the topic.
For example, imagine that somebody in your office often forgets to flush the toilet, and your boss holds a meeting about the problem, but all your co-workers are laughing and making jokes about it. Your boss might say:
“This is no laughing matter, folks. Not only is it unhygienic, but it makes a bad impression when we have visitors to our office – which could end up hurting our business relationships.”

No Comment
Generally used in refusing to answer a question, especially in a sensitive situation.
"I spent the day saying ‘No comment’ to every reporter"

No harm done
This phrase means there was no damage or negative effects from a situation that could have caused damage.
“Oh no! I accidentally pressed the wrong key and cancelled the installation of the software! What do I do now???”
“No harm done – just click on the program to re-start the installation.”

No kidding!”
There are two uses for this phrase:
You can say it when you’re a little bit surprised. (The surprise can be a good one or a bad one):
“I spent a year volunteering in Africa.”
“No kidding! What kind of work were you doing there?”
(You could also say “Wow!”)

No pain, no gain
This expression means “If you want to improve, you need to work so hard that it hurts.” It is often used in the context of sports and physical exercise:
“I ran 10 miles yesterday, and now my legs are really sore. But hey… no pain, no gain, right?”

No dice
This is a very informal expression that means “it’s not possible” or “it wasn’t possible.”
“I tried to fix my car myself, but no dice. I’ll have to take it to the mechanic.”

Business English Lesson - BEP 69A: Answering the Telephone in English

source: Business English Pod 2015年12月13日
This business English telephone lesson is part of our Business English conversation course:http://www.businessenglishpod.com/abo...
Talking on the telephone in has become an extremely important part of business English. You need to be able to answer a call in English professionally and create a good image of yourself and your company with only your voice. Having effective business English telephone skills leaves a good impression on your customers, clients, and colleagues. People are busy, so you want to be very clear, polite and organized.
In this business English lesson, we’ll begin by looking at a bad example of answering a call and taking message. We’ll discuss why it’s a bad example, and then we’ll go into a good example of answering a call. I’m sure you’ll see a clear difference.
Before we listen, let’s talk a bit about the basics of handling a call in English. Our tone of voice needs to be pleasant and positive. We don’t want to make people feel like they are bothering us. Some people try smiling when they speak even though the other person can’t see them. This trick helps you to maintain a good tone. Second, we should always be prepared. Whether you’re receiving or making a call, you need to be ready.
We also need to make it clear from the beginning who the person is talking to. This means identifying ourselves and our company. From there, we need to lead the conversation and find out how we can help the caller. The caller should not have to ask for help. And finally, we need to remember that listening is half of a conversation. We need to listen and respond to what the other person is saying.
