Do barber shops in other countries have that rotating, red-and-white striped pole? That used to be the symbol for a barber shop.

You have to look really really hard to find one these days, but they do still exist!

Hi Grammar Geek,

Thanks for your help. What I mean concerning that portrait, is when someone has a secret friend, for example, and decides to draw him or only his face and then put it on a frame at his classroom. The other possibility: to take his secret friend's picture (only his face) and assembles (I don't know if it is the appropriate verb) it on a famous painting, e.g., on Mona Lisa's body. I think the pictures below can show you what I mean in a better way:

So, how can I write both situations correctly ?

By the way the request concerning how to write a speech, wasnt

For my US friends... if Jesus rises, and sees his shadow, will there be six more weeks of winter?

Wasn't that the groundhog? (I've recently seen the film in English ... so funny!)

I'm going to have a very traditional Easter, with Mass, lunch with lots of relatives (and lots of traditional dishes, too), chocolate eggs and more.

So, happy Easter to all of you! (Jesus is believed by Christians to have been resurrected from the dead for each and every person, believer or not.)

Can someone check my grammar mistake ??!! (=

Re: They're made too cheaply.

Hi,

They're made too cheaply.

The above is one of the four possible choices in a test; does it make sense? Does it amount to "They're made too badly?' Thanks.

The sentence is correct grammar. However, 'cheap' does not necessarily mean 'badly'. What is the context? What is the actual question, with all the possible answers?

Best wishes, Clive

Re: Please, look through my essay and leave some comment. Thanks a lot

OK, thanks, T_nattawat. I have underlined some problem areas again, fixed others (in bold), and crossed out unnecessary words and phrases (you may have to edit further to correct any grammar problems caused by omitting these):

Topic: A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.

    Imagine that you live in the countryside where people work mostly on farm; one day some company comes and announces that a large factory is going to be built ~~near your hometown~~. How would you respond, support or oppose? ~~I am one of those who strongly disagree with the plan of having~~ a large factory in my beloved community is not good, because the advantages are outweighed by the disadvantages: it will cause pollution, ~~it will~~ ruin people's culture, and there are (not parallel with the previous 2 times in the list) many other things that the community need.
    There are quite a few advantages the factory would bring to the community. ~~To begin with, a lot of~~ jobs ~~opportunities~~ will be available; people would not have work far ~~away~~ from home. It would also bring more people to town. As a consequence, more income would come to the town. In addition, ~~what will come~~ with new arrivals would come new ideas and culture that the community will be flourished. Soon, the area would be filled with housing areas, ~~followed by~~ restaurants, stores, and shopping centers. The old town will be transformed into a modern city.
    On the other hand, the factory could be a bad influence on the community in the long run. First of all, a lot of pollutions would be created. If one was built, ~~definitely~~ there will be another and another. The community will be turned into an industrial area ~~soon~~. ~~Day after day,~~ the town that once was fulled of trees and fresh air will be covered with poisonous gases and obnoxious noise, not to mention water pollution that will spoil ~~water~~ resources used in farming. Moreover, as the industrial areas expand, native landowners would be forced to abandon their farmlands to sell them to investors and builders. Not only the natural environment will be destroyed but also people's traditions and life styles ~~that have been passed from generation to generation~~. There is no guarantee that the new ways of life that will be bought by the newcomers will suit the community; the ~~only thing that is~~ guarantee is that our beloved community will never be the same.
    In conclusion, it cannot be denied that the community will be thriving because of a factory; but in exchange, it will ~~have to~~ suffer from pollution caused by the factory. ~~And~~ people's life style would be changed. Also, many other facilities need to be built instead: libraries, parks, and recreation centers. If something is constructed, it should not be a factory. ~~It will not do any good to my community. My only answer is negative: I oppose the building of factory.~~

This helps!

One more question. Is the situation with "of course" similar to that of "however"?

When it is important to emphasize that I have a different opinion or a much stronger opinion than somebody then

I, of course, think that using correct grammar is important.

should be used. Otherwise

Of course, I think that using correct grammar is important.

should be used. Is this right?

Thanks again!

Thank you Grammar Greek.

I would hang all my washed clothes on a line to dry them. Sometimes some clothes would fall from the line when the wind blew hard.

I don't know what you mean by "on the line".

Actually I wanted to say that I hang my washed clothes in a rope as in this picture :
