Hi I am Sara thanks a lot for the useful lessons you are the best
Could u please make a lesson on the difference between these two vocabularies mind and brain when to use the word mind and when to use the word brain
I have got 10/10! Thank you!
Hello Rebecca! This is a very interesting lesson, thanks.
7/10.Thanks. I couldn’t watch the video.
Hello Rebeca .
Got 100/100 . Thank you for this excellent lesson . Very useful because I think everybody has similar expressions to describe people at work in their own language but don’t use the same words . As an example in french we would say ” paper scratcher” instead of ” pen pusher” .
I take this opportunity to wish to everybody a merry Christmas . Peace on Earth . May God bring wisdom to everybody .
I hate the “Smart Alecks”, they are the ruin of relationships at work.
Thanks Rebecca.
Thanks alot trainer Rebecca for this very interesting and useful lesson, I’m looking forward to go to the work and use these terms
best regards

Dear Rebecca,
My question is out of the lesson.
The subject: expressions of quantity
When we say:
twice as many, half as much
What do these expressions mean?
Explain to me mathimatically, please!
These phrases came from the examples:
Job-sharing would give twice as many people a bite of the cherry.
‘Is that enough?’ ‘No, I’d like half as much again, please.’
Thanks
Dear Rebecca,
What is the difference between these 3 words as a person, national, citizen, and subject?
Thanks
Thank you very much Mrs Rebecca, I completely got the entire meaning of these idioms, Have a good health !
I watched this video twice on December 10, 2021, and took the quiz after watching it once. I got nine correct out of 10.
This one got me! I need to practice more with these sentences.
Thanks a lot Rebecca. You are really amazing. (Azores Islands, 04Aug2022);
