Which connector could I use here? Far from what we were used to, when physical work was done solely to survive, today's approach is certainly different. Thus/ moreover/ In this way...??the idea of working has evolved to become some sort of culture itself and now having a happy staff is essential. Or does it sound ok using just a stop before 'the idea' . ? Thank you

🇬🇧 Unusual Words Fun 🎉 challenging, and designed for B2 Level English Learners! 🇺🇸 Word Origins

italki has closed my teaching account and stolen the money in my wallet one day after I completed a survey sent to teachers asking about my experience and my suggestions for improving their product. They clealry did not like the answers to. No dicsussion. Just sent away. I did say that they might put more effort into understanding the nature of education theory and less effort into chasing the dollar with a shoddy interface.. Shouldn't ask questions you don't like the amswers to. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Teacher Gary, Out!

It was a sunny day. During my reading session, I came across a sentence that caught my attention: “I am enchanted to make your acquaintance.” It was the kind of English where I understood every word individually but still didn't quite grasp the overall meaning. I thought, “Enchanted? Is this about magic? How do you ‘make’ an acquaintance, anyway? By casting a spell?” It turned out to mean simply “nice to meet you.” No one’s never spoken to me like that before. (Starting now, I will forever say this one instead of “nice to meet you.” It sounds way nicer and somewhat elegant.) On the same page in that book, I also leaned how "long-hairs" can refer not just to people with long hair, but also to those with extra-refined tastes, especially in classical music. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

Yesterday I stayed at a friend's house and watched Conan!! I slept all day today because I was up late at night making plans for Golden Week. I’m looking forward to play with my friends during Golden Week!!
