Members of our research institute were recently sent an email by one of our admin staff, "Let us gather to congratulate our students X, Y, and Z on their conviction."
ReplyDeletePart of the reason my English is limited are the following (as spoken by one particular teacher at my school)
ReplyDelete1. "Open the window, let the atmosphere come in"
