Hi, everybody.

Welcome back to ask Alicia the Weekly Siri's where you ask me questions and I answered them.

Maybe first question comes from Do we sit again?

High again?

Dewey Dewey says.

What's the meaning of four Good?

I've heard Stay for good here for good.

Nothing for good.

But I didnt clearly understand them.

Yeah, great question for good means forever or it means for a very long time.

So, like he's here for good or we're going to stay for good.

Your last example?

Nothing for good.

I'm not sure I've never seen that expression before, so I'm not quite sure about the meaning of that.

But for good means forever.

So I hope that that helps you.

Thanks for the question.

Okay, let's move on to your next question.

Next question comes from Byron High.

Byron Byron says highly Sha.

My question is, do you recommend using APS to practice speaking?

I was using this method, and I just found people from another country whose accent is different from the American accent.

Thanks.

Um, I think that this kind of thing really depends a lot on the app you're using.

There are many different APS that you can use to study many different things.

So I don't know that I can suggest, like, APs or great or Absar bad.

It really depends on the app that you're using.

So if you're not happy with the conversation partners that you found on the app you're using now, try a different up If you're having trouble finding a partner that you really connect with, or that works really well with you, another thing you can try doing is just recording yourself speaking and comparing that to a native speaker So you could use just your phone to do this like record yourself saying the same thing as a native speaker said.

So if you watch our videos, for example, you could listen to something I said or something like Davy or Michael said.

And then try to say that again and record yourself saying it and then compare it just to kind of get an idea of where you can improve.

This is actually a really interesting exercise, I think, because when you are speaking, You think you sound a certain way and then when you hear yourself, you sound really, really different.

So this can actually be a really good way to practice.

Another thing.

I know that on our website we have another voice recording function where you can compare yourself to a native speaker on that specifically on the English class one No.

One website.

So that's another tool you can check out.

Um, but for APS?

Yeah, Like I said, I think it really depends on your conversation partner.

And what other services the APP might offer you.

So you could just try out a few different things and see what you like.

So I hope this answer helps you.

And I hope maybe you found another technique you can use to work on improving your speaking skills.

Thanks very much for the question.

Okay, let's move along to your next question.

Next question comes from Henry K.

Ferreira High.

Enrique Enrique says, Hey, Alicia, I love your videos Today.

My question is about chat a lot.

In the beginning, I was very shy about chatting with other people in English.

I'm not anymore, but I want to know if chatting with chatbots is a good tool for improving your speaking skills.

What do you think?

Um, I think something like this could be good.

Maybe for improving your basic, um, like, sentence building skills.

I'm not sure what kind of shop bought you're talking about.

To my knowledge, I've seen chatbots where you can type things to a chap pot and the computer will return an answer to you.

Maybe you're talking about a speaking kind of chap, Bob.

So, um, that could be possible.

I don't know, but I would say that these sorts of things could perhaps be useful for making basic sentences or making very simple conversations.

So perhaps in the very beginning, something like that could be a nice addition.

And I supplement to whatever you're doing.

But I think you're going to miss out on a lot of other really important stuff.

If you only use a robot to practice, Um, a robot is not going to do the arms and us and use, um, interesting vocabulary words.

The robot is just programmed to do one thing.

So if you can remember that and maybe use it as like a method of refreshing yourself every once in a while.

Perhaps, um, but I just think that you're missing out on a lot of things.

If you're only using a robot, I think as soon as possible you should be practicing speaking with other real people so that you understand really and truly how people use the language.

Um, and then you can also be learning from them.

So I would probably not recommend relying too much on a chat bots for your studies.

I think the purpose of learning a language is to be able to communicate with someone else in that language.

So if you only use it to communicate with Robot, then it's kind of defeating the purpose of your studies.

So I would say Use it with other people as much as possible and try not to use a chat bots that much.

So I hope that that helps you.

Thanks for an interesting question.

Okay, let's move on to your next question.

Next question comes from Felicia High.

Alysia Ole CIA says highly show what future form should we use when arranging official appointments or events in the future, for example, which is correct, the interview will be held on August 9th at 10 a.m. Moscow time.

Right, or the interview is on August 9th at 10 a.m. Moscow time, right?

Yeah, this is a fantastic question.

So, actually, both of the example sentences you sent are polite and they are correct.

However, if you want to always be sure to sound professional and polite, use the passive form.

So you used the interview will be held.

That sounds a lot more professional.

So the reason that a passive form is preferred when making arrangements in like formal events or like in an interview situation, is because we don't always know exactly the person who is going to be doing that event.

So in the case of an interview, for example, you may not know exactly who is going to be giving the interview.

Who is going to lead the interview so instead saying the interview will be held eyes much better.

It's much softer.

Remember, we use passive voice when we don't know the person doing the action or when the person doing the action is not important.

So this is really useful in like business situations and other formal events when the activity is the thing that needs the focus, not necessarily the person or the people doing the activity.

So it's better to use the passive form.

Here.

You can use the active form.

So, like, for example, um, you're having the interview at 9 a.m. Right?

So there's nothing incorrect about that.

But using you can sound really direct there, and you might run into some problems where maybe the person you're contacting is not the person giving the interview.

So using the passive voice avoids that.

So in conclusion for this, really, if you're ever kind of in a formal situation or a business situation, and you have this kind of question, try to use the passive voice instead of the active voice.

That's a pretty good rule of thumb to follow.

I hope that this helps you.

Thanks very much for an interesting question.

Let's move along to your next question.

Next question comes from Carlos Cordoba.

Hi, Carlos, Carlos says.

I always struggle with the use of in an on, for example, when I'm referring to a quote that I read in a book, Should I say you can find it on page number or in page number?

Also, how do I use it for locations?

For example, when should I use in or owner at?

Yeah, propositions are always a tough point.

As a quick regular reminder, we do have a couple of propositions videos on the channel, thes air, good introductions to propositions of place and propositions of time regarding your question.

Your specific question, though, when you're talking about books, will say, Read it in a book in a book.

When you're talking about something that's on a page we use on on a page.

If you want to get even more specific and talk about a line of text, we say in a line of text.

So the reasons that we used these propositions, Ah, first the in proposition for a book when you imagine a physical book like a cover to covers and then the contents are inside it.

The contents of the book are enclosed by the covers, so we imagine we have toe open a book and go inside the book to find things.

So we use in for the contents of books we use on for pages so you can kind of imagine a book as being like two layers.

Almost.

There's the paper.

And then there are the words.

So the words are on top of the paper, kind of like on the surface of the paper.

So we use on to talk about things that are on the page that things that are above the paper.

Then we use in to talk about lines because we're looking for something like specific inside one line or two lines of text.

So it's within, like line number three or light number four.

So some examples in the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone there's a mistake on Page seven in Line five.

That's not true.

So I hope that this helps you understand when to use in and on.

And again I would recommend starting with the videos on the channel for informations, amore information about other propositions.

Thanks very much for the question.

Okay, let's move on to your next question.

Next question comes from N H I Me Hello, hi, Ni Ni says, Do wild animal and wildlife have the same meaning?

No.

They have very similar meetings, though, so first wildlife is one word.

It's a noun.

It's an uncountable now.

Wildlife means all the living things that are not humans.

So that's, um, like animals and fish and lizards.

So it's like all the creatures in an area that are not human.

That's the wildlife in an area.

Examples.

Let's go to the wildlife park.

We need to protect the wildlife in this area.

Wild animal, however, is a phrase.

Wild is an adjective.

Animal is unknown, so a wild animal is an animal that has not been domesticated.

Domesticated means trained.

So, for example, a pet cat or a pet dog is a domesticated animal.

That's an animal that has been trained.

So a wild animal is something that does not have training.

Some examples.

Did you see any wild animals on your camping trip?

The news said a hiker was attacked by a wild animal.

So thanks very much for the question.

I hope that that helps you.

All right.

That's everything that I have for you for this week.
