Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "College"

A: 你是不是刚刚毕业而正在找工作吗？

A: Yes, it means I dont want to spend any money from my college fund. We use "go into" for money or things that have been saved or put aside for a special purpose.
"I don't want to go into my savings"
"I don't want to go into my grocery money"

A: he didn't have the opportunity to go to college.

A: Yes this is a figurative. So when they say "step into" they literately mean the graduate is "stepping" into his wings. And when they say "wear them out" they are implying the graduate is going out into the real word (after graduating college).

The whole post in itself is trying to say that college graduates can no longer rely on getting a job with one good company and working your way up to the top position.

A: It means they feel like they made a mistake in the past when hey dropped out of college. If they could change that decision, they would, because they feel their life would have turned out better.

A: When you say “Back in college” you are referring to a time period in the past. So it’s like you used to go to college, but not anymore.

Examples:

Back in college, I used to play basketball.
Back in college, I had a friend named Emily.
Back in college, I used to live in California.

A: Thanks ;)

A: @jingeon

Right. If study is part of the preparation - then yes, the meanings overlap.

A: The first one means they charge 50 to 60,000 dollars every year, implying multiple years. The second one is the same, except it implies only one year of college. The third is like the first, but it implies the payments are spread out, and does not imply amount of years.

Hope this helps

A: If you say "a college" you are talking about a specific school. I might say, "I graduated from a college in Massachusetts." (I changed the tense bc it sounds weird in that tense with the "a" and I can't figure out a way for it to not sound weird.)

If you just say "graduated from college" you are more generally saying that the person has earned a degree. For example: "My brother only has a high school diploma, but I've graduated from college."

The latter phrasing is more common, the first is really only for when you are saying something specific about the school.

A: "I've graduated from college" Puts the emphasis on the fact that you Graduated

"I've graduated from a college" puts enphasis on College. It wasn't just any graduation, it was from a college.

A: authorities

A: Since I was a kid, I liked studying in A. I started researching & B was *on* my radar because of its well-known curriculum about *the market*, which was the major I was interested in. Also, at the career orientation fair at my *high school*, I met and talked with *the* school's alumni. They shared with me their experience there, especially their experience at the largest marketing club in VN, X. So, I believed that I would get a quality education there and *invaluable* experience in the marketing field.

It's very good. In the last sentence 'great' is fine but I just suggest 'invaluable' as a stronger word.

In the sentence "They shared with me their experience there, especially their experience at the largest marketing club in VN, X" , you may want to replace the second 'experience' with a different word. Possible synonyms are:

- participation in (instead of 'experience at')

- exposure to (instead of 'experience at')

A: This is the place for me!

“I looked at pictures of this college and realized that this is the place for me.”

A: both are common because they are very similar! Doesn’t matter which one you choose

A: Please act your age

✓ At first, I was disappointed that I had to eat udon in the morning, but once I got used to it, I have come to like it.

Fantastic 😊

A: current account balance = all the money you will need to pay
amount due = the amount you need to pay now; the smallest payment you can make on your balance without a penalty

A: This is great! It is grammatically correct. I’m not sure how Japanese schools work, but “junior high school” is usually said as “junior high”, which refers to grades 7-9. Again, I’m from America, so it may be different.
Also, you can change one sentence to “If they went on to university and kept on learning English, the span for learning English seemed to be long enough to become fluent.” You can also change “kept on” to “continued to” to sound more formal.

A: I think Japanese college students should study another foreign language in addition to English.
This is because learning another language besides English can be helpful in their daily life.
*Nowadays*, more and more foreign people *are coming* to Japan.
So*,* Japanese university students might have an opportunity to meet and talk with foreigners in Japan.
For example, when they are walking on the street, foreign people might ask them how to go to their destination.
Then*,* if the Japanese university students can speak even a little in their language, they can help the foreigners better than otherwise.
