Account
These financial reports have numerous inconsistencies. How do you account for them?

Ask
Please ask the waiter for more table napkins. These are not enough for all of us.

Act
When it comes to managing the properties, I always act for my mother. She’s 89 years old and she can’t possibly deal with the documents by herself.


Apologize
I apologize for being late. My car broke down in the middle of EDSA.


Blame

In the novel Holes, Stanley Yelnats  blames his great-great grandfather for his misfortunes. 


Beg

The old man is begging the passersby for some coins.


Call
The angry citizens were calling for the resignation of the city mayor. The people say that their mayor is too incompetent to be the leader of the city.


Charge
You are charging me P100.00 for this paper face mask? Are you crazy?


Exchange

In exchange for the hot and delicious meal that I gave you, could you please wash my car?

Hope

Does Science have a cure for cancer? Or, should we all continue hoping for a miracle?

Look
Yeah, I know that the inflation is global and life has gotten more difficult, but… could you at least try to look for a job and feed yourself?


Mistake

I don’t understand why people always mistake me for my sister. I don’t look like her; I am a lot prettier than her!


Pay

I will pay for these groceries. Please wait for me. This won’t take long.


Prepare

Have you been preparing for the test? Have you been studying your lessons?

Provide
In our family, I am the only one with a job. I provide for everybody.


Search
Do you think that the search for intelligent life in other planets will be successful, or do you think it’s just a waste of time and resources?


Thank

Thank you for the pastries you gave me. I absolutely love them!

Vote

Who are you going to vote for? Mr. Hill or Mr. Billy?} 

Wait

Let’s wait for the rain to stop. When it stops, we will walk to the bus station. 

Thanks for reading this post! More posts to come! Enjoy learning ESL!

Eating Coffee (Whaattt?!)

By -Elizabeth D. Andres

  Coffee Picture 1 Coffee Picture 2 I eat coffee... Picture 3 I eat coffee. You read it right. I EAT coffee beans the way you eat your popcorn. I also eat ground coffee. I eat all types of coffee grinds. I would like to state first that I don’t own a percolator (I have one but it’s 15 hours away by bus and this is another story. Hahaha). I just boil ground coffee in a small pot (the pot you use when you go camping), and pour it to my coffee cup while straining it at the same time. March 2020, the lockdown due to Covid 19 was implemented. At that time, I was still adjusting to the “new normal” and, amidst the confusion and uncertainties, even the most basic task felt like an enormous duty.   One day I got too lazy to even look for my metal coffee strainer, so I just poured the freshly brewed coffee into my cup, with all the unstrained coffee grounds which I ate, of course. I instantly liked the bitter taste of the coarsely ground coffee and its creamy aftertaste. Soon, I was eating on

A Bonne' Lotion Review

By -Elizabeth D. Andres

  I have a new friend. Well, friends…because there are two of them, but they are of the same brand, so “friend” is also acceptable. I discovered these two wonderful beauty products in late 2019, but it is only now that I have the time to feature them here. I live in a tropical country, and it is understandable for people here to look for some products that will block the adverse effect of ultraviolet rays. I did some research and I found these. I immediately went to the nearest beauty store to find them. I instantly liked the smell of the orange one, A Bonne’ Miracle Spa Milk with Tomato Extract. I don’t know if real milk or tomato extract was added here, I’m not a chemist, so there’s no way for me to find it out. I instantly liked this anyway because of its scent. It’s not too sweet, it’s not too bland, it’s a perfect balance between sweetness and freshness. When I got home, I took a shower again of course, and tried this all over my body. It felt so smooth! I never had this exp

BEAR BRAND STERILIZED!

me, drinking Bear Brand Sterilized at my desk, right after my class photo taken with my webcam (Those are my watercolor paintings behind me.)    My milk at my workplace, right on my desk  There are times when I am too busy, too sleepy, too tired, too weary to prepare dinner. There are even times when my fragile heart gets   smashed and picking the pieces up means I have to just cry silently, without any energy to get up and prepare dinner. Yes, there are nights when I just go to bed without getting a decent meal. And because of these reasons, I always keep at least three Tetra-Pak of Bear Brand sterilized full cream milk in my room. I would just consume one before I go to bed, and its nutrients are more than enough to power me up until the following morning, when I feel fresh and renewed, ready to face the day. I like this because it’s neither too sweet nor too creamy. There are some that are flavored, but I prefer this natural milk taste and smell. One thing I noticed about this m
