Hello,

I was taking a self-assessment quiz and I couldn't understand what these two sentences mean.

1. "I always fly by the seat of my pants."

2."My skin is too thin."

Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks

Hi,

1 . When you do something 'by the seat of your pants', you do it using only your own experience and trusting your own judgment

2 .  When you are thin-skinned, you get easily hurt by criticism or easily made unhappy. But is it what is meant here ? Not sure about that....

Hope this help

Regards

Hi,

how ican speak english

Go to a class.

Study a grammar book.

Listen to English on movies, radio, tapes, cds.

Find someone that you can practice speaking English with.
