  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

This guide provides an overview of services and facilities available for Guests with disabilities who are visiting Elitch Gardens. We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for all Guests. This guide is intended to supplement the Elitch Gardens Park Map and Guide, which contains additional park information and an entertainment schedule. This guide also lists all of the rides, shows, and Guest assistance areas and includes symbols that will help you find these areas on the park map. Many theme park rides incorporate safety systems designed by the manufacturer to accommodate people of average physical stature and body proportion. These systems may place restrictions on the ability of an individual to safely experience the ride. Guests of exceptional proportions, Guests who have or have had health concerns with their heart, back or neck, expectant mothers, people who have had recent surgery, people with casts, braces, or restrictive devices, may not be safely accommodated by these systems. For example, height requirements are based on the size needed for restraint devices to function properly and the level of developmental maturity usually associated with a certain height. Elitch Garden’s Ride Admission Policy has been developed based on the recommendations of the manufacturer, our past experience and our evaluation of each ride using our knowledge of the ride in both normal and emergency operating conditions. Our prime consideration is the ability of each person to endure the dynamics of a ride without risk of injury to that person or other riders.

  • Knot a Fanzine 2
    KNOT A FANZINE #2 2020 A compendium produced by Marc Ortlieb, P.O. Box 215 Forest Hill Vic 3131. [email protected]. This issue will be published in January 2021. Notes From The Spectacle Case As mentioned in the previous issue, Knot A Fanzine is a compendium of my ANZAPA contributions for the year, minus the mailing comments, which really don’t make much sense outside of ANZAPA. I published the first issue late in 2020, covering my 2019 ANZAPA contributions (plus one 2018 zine). This one will cover the strange COVID-19 ridden year of 2020. Now that I’ve caught up with this, expect the next issue in January 2021, all things being equal. ANZAPA, as you may or may not know, is the Australia New Zealand Amateur Press Association. While not having quite the pedigree of FAPA or SAPS, it’s one of the few remaining amateur press associations that has gone from strength to strength of late. The December 2020 mailing has 502 pages from 25 of its 27 members. We currently have 22 Australian members, from Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. We don’t currently have members from Western Australia or Tasmania, though we have had in the past. Despite the name of the apa, we don’t currently have any New Zealand members. ANZAPA started off life as APA-A but became ANZAPA when it was decided that, if the U.S. had Frank Zappa, we could have ANZAPA. It then took about 38 mailings until we actually got a New Zealand member - Mervyn Barrett.
