Talking with vegetarians in English

source: Neil Collins    2017年1月4日
Main part:
So, I'm going to tell you some things, some questions that are okay to ask a vegetarian and some questions that are not okay to ask a vegetarian. But I'll mix them up. So, as I say the questions, think about if it's okay or or if it's not okay to ask this questions to a vegetarian. And remember, German culture and German speakers tend to be a little bit more direct. And English speaking people, from English speaking countries, in general tend to be a little bit more indirect. So, keep that in mind when you're thinking about if the question is okay or not okay.
So, for example.
So you don't eat any meat or fish?
So, what's your problem with meat and fish?
So they were the examples. Here we go with the main questions.
Do you eat dairy products?
Are you vegan?
Do you have health issues?
Is there something wrong with you?
How long have you been a vegetarian?
Or how long have you been a vegan?
Is that not like, really unhealthy?
When did you stop eating meat?
Why did you stop eating meat?
Is it for ethical or environmental reasons?
We need meat. We're animals. You understand that right?
Animals don't have rights. The only rights animals have is the right to be eaten. Do you know that?

So, let's have a look at the examples of questions that are okay to ask a vegetarian:
Do you eat dairy products?
Are you vegan?
How long have you been a vegetarian?
Or how long have you been a vegan?
When did you stop eating meat?
Why did you stop eating meat?
Is it for ethical/ environmental reasons?

Grammar: Noun Clauses

source: English Lessons with Adam    2016年7月11日
Having trouble finding the subject or object in a sentence? It might be a noun clause. In this lesson, we'll look at the dependent clause and its conjunctions in order to write better sentences and to read high-level texts like those you will find in newspapers, academic essays, and literature. This is also important if you're in university or taking a test like IELTS or TOEFL. As a writer, I focus my attention on the many elements we use to build great sentences and paragraphs. I've broken down this advanced part of English grammar and will teach it to you simply -- so you can understand and use the noun clauses in your own writing. I'll show you many examples of noun clauses, so you can see the noun clause in context. Take the quiz at http://www.engvid.com/advanced-englis... to practice identifying the types of noun clauses in example sentences.
