Sir Micawber.. "John Q. Smith, taped interview by author, Chicago, Illinois, 20 November 2009" what if its not taped? I mean I just wrote what he/she said? Im sorry about these kinds of question but my english citation skills are very poor.

Re: How to cite a Comment or Testimonial

mister micawber — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:27:26 GMT

If this is a formal interview which you held and which is an important contribution to your thesis, your bibliography should include the name of the interviewee, a description of the type of interview, and the place and date: John Q. Smith, taped interview by author, Chicago, Illinois, 20 November 2009 If it is just a single informal quote, however, you can simply add a footnote to the quotation in your text, reading ' John Q. Smith, pers. comm .'.

How to express a kind of torture

abil — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 11:13:05 GMT

I don't know how to express it. I am translating an interview of a torture victim. He says that his torturer shoved him on to the ground, held his testicles and then pulled him up trice, cauding serious damage to his testicles. Can I say: He was lifted up by the testicles? or He was pulled up by the testicles? Is there any best alternatives to express this? Thanks.

Can anyone help me to proof it? Thanks!

cheese1987 — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:26:29 GMT

The main difficulty of this research is the problem of accuracy. Because of the lack of time and money, the data from the interviews are only based on 20 interviews by the poor from 2 places. As there are so many poor in Hong Kong, 20 cases may inaccuracy and it may not exactly show the true of fact. Although there are literature reviews from the government or organizations to support the analysis and lower the inaccuracy, and the interviewees of each interview were selected randomly in order to become fair objective and trusty, errors may also more or less exist in the results, and the data collected from the interviews and literature readings had already made good use to make the data analysis. Thanks!!

In a psychotherapy session, it is very important to begin the interview with an open-ended question. Through this type of questioning, I can find out about Nora's past. For example the question I asked Nora was “where did you get those shoes”? She replied “I bought them from Dune last month”. Then, to finish, I asked about her diary. For instance, “how many times do you go shopping in a month,” and “is shopping included as one of your hobbies”? I can't say this rewriting is in perfect English, but it makes more sense.

Well, not eggzactly. The kid was earthbound, in an attic, no less. If the dad put him up to it, for shame. If the kid concocted/executed the idea himself, pin a medal on him. The kid let it slip, in a live interview - "we did it for a show." Or something very close to that. Apparently the family has been pitching themselves as a reality show to everybody in town, but no one's been biting. What's bothered me since the first clip ran is that there's no way a helium balloon that size would EVER carry that much weight. It's just not that big, and it's covered in tinfoil (okay, the teevee said 'tinfoil' but it looks a lot more like mylar) and even without the kid onboard, it never got much in the way of...

With the effective support of the Portuguese population, that walked through Lisbon streets carrying red carnation flowers, the initiative had the non-violence as main point.

A few cents worth from my experience: With interview related letter, Could someone ( PLEASE) take a quick look at this? You need to learn the use of the word "Please" and practice it often at the forum. It will do you a lot good in the real world. For interview letters, try to keep it simple, avoid long-drawn out sentences and phrases like "as to" and "as long as..". Capitalize all the proper places.

I did wonder whether they could set up a parallel subplot by having him try out before the team goes on to win, but I think Hancock would have found that disingenuous.

English For Telephone Conversations

englishlci — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:01:56 GMT

Learning how to communicate effectively on the telephone is of top priority for any student that is learning to speak English and is enrolled in an ESL program. You may want to communicate effectively with relatives, friends, or even for a job interview. However, telephoning in English can be tricky, if one does not possess the necessary skills specific for telephone competency. But with continuous practice, determination, and hard work, one can pick up the necessary skills and vocabulary to be able to converse with anyone all over the world. One of the biggest barriers to be able to effectively communicate in English is understanding common phrases, or "slang" language. These are terms that sometimes you might come in contact...
