Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts. There's a darker side to most events. I look for the positives. I like the Opening Ceremonies that I've watched over the decades. I like the creativity and unity displayed, but I'm also aware that the host cities spend a lot on the games and that not all countries have sufficient resources to train. As for character, some athletes celebrate with true heart. A few celebrate with too much pride. I love the moments when a smaller country wins a medal. I often cheer for those athletes. In fact, I cheer loudly for the countries with a small delegation at the Opening Ceremony. It must be amazing to be the only one or maybe one of two to represent your whole country at an international event. Intensive training in any field or activity can take its toll. Thankfully, there's been more attention on mental health in recent years, and it's not taboo to go to a sports therapist. Today, hurtful trainers/coaches are more likely to be held accountable for their abuse of their athletes. Sports can be wonderful, but the effort must be made to keep them all healthy and fun.

Thanks for watching!

You're welcome!

Yes, but it can be confusing since other words like "politics" can actually be singular or plural. I wouldn't argue with someone who wanted to use the singular. I would just explain that my preference is for the plural verb, and most speakers I hear have the same preference.

return to = destination return for = purpose There's an argument for either preposition.

You're welcome! 😊

Glad you liked it. Yes, I thought of it. :) So far, I've only read my own stories at livestreams and in my Oral Reading Fluency lessons. I also like reading poetry.

Glad you enjoyed the vocabulary lesson. I appreciate the suggestion. 😊 Take care!

Hi David, Two hundred million is a lot in any currency. I once got paid in chocolate. Two hundred million pounds of chocolate would be a bit extreme, though. No need for school books, purple stockings, and the like. I would be happy simply to have your active participation on my channel. Watch, learn, practice, and comment. Thank you for being devoted to your studies and choosing to watch my lessons. Regards, Jennifer

Thanks for checking it out.

WANT is the main verb. The infinitive "to talk to" follows "want." Want can be followed by an infinitive but not a gerund (-ing).

@@Englishwithjennifer thank you

Sure, Manuel. You can ask, "What do you get paid per hour?" Well, that is, if it's appropriate to ask the person such a direct question! I personally talk about my hourly rate. It's partly about collocations: hourly rate weekly earnings/income annual salary/income get paid X per hour earn X per week The tipping culture is getting a bit out of hand in the U.S. with electronic payments. We're shown a screen in many places of business, and they make us feel cheap if we select the lowest option of 15%. The options are usually 15,% 20%, 25%, and even 30% or "custom" for a higher amount. I usually choose 20%, but for my hair stylist, I go with 25% because I value her service and I go to her each month.

@@Englishwithjennifer In Tenerife, there is no any "must" for tips. Nevertheless, the tips are not so expensive. 10 Euros, is a generous tip, but, bear in mind, this tips will form part of you tax returns as an increase of your salary ( wages ). Controversy apart. Spain loves ( paying part of your salary under the table (black money) even more there are bars , cafeterias, home.made places in which , don't let you pay by credit card or debit card, only cash.

I have a short collection of videos that I filmed withy my children. If they know some English already, they can watch it. It's for low-intermediate students. Otherwise, you can search for English lessons made specifically for children/teens. www.englishwithjennifer.com/students/yt-videos/ I have hired personal tutors for my children. They're now teenagers.

@@Englishwithjennifer Wow Thank You So Much😀

Thank you for the encouragement!
