  • 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.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

The next step toward the law school came with a groundbreaking ceremony at the site – the corner of 15th and Acklen avenues – and the announcement that it will be called the Randall and Sadie Baskin Center. “This is the single largest commitment that I have ever made in my life,” said Randall Baskin, Brentwood-based founder of the Conti- nental Life Insurance Co.

  • Make the Point Survey Results October 2020 MAKE the POINT SURVEY
    Make the Point Survey Results October 2020 MAKE THE POINT SURVEY OVERVIEW On Monday, September 14, 2020, The Point of the Mountain State Land Authority issued a statewide survey to solicit input from Utahns regarding future development at The Point. The survey entitled, “Make the Point” asked Utahns to help “make The Point” by “making their point” through the survey. The brief, 5-minute survey was organized into three sections: 1- Site Attributes 2- Development Objectives 3- Development Approaches Building on significant public outreach conducted during The Point of the Mountain Regional Visioning process from 2016-2018, the “Make the Point” survey asked respondents to rate and rank importance of the Preferred Scenario’s main elements. The survey was conducted between September 14 through October 16, 2020 using the Qualtrics XM platform. Over a dozen news outlets (print, radio, TV and digital) covered the survey’s launch, garnering significant earned media coverage. In addition, cities, counties, state agencies and other partners disseminated information about the survey on their respective social media platforms, websites, print and digital newsletters. The resulting public response was significant, with approximately 2,838 Utahns completing the survey. The input gathered from the survey has been analyzed by The Point staff and a comprehensive report has been given to the planning consultant team for their consideration when working with The Point of the Mountain State Land Authority to create the master plan for the site. SITE ATTRIBUTES Respondents were asked to rate various site attributes on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being “not at all important” and 5 being “very important.” Out of the 2,838 responses, “parks, playgrounds and open space” site attribute gained the highest rating.
