    Default Would you please edit "A Child's Memories" ?

    I would appreciate it if you can edit the rare words wheather I used them in a right place or not.

    A child's memories

    When I was in forth grade in a primary school, I received adverse behaviour as an asset from my teacher. Being used to extortion attempts, the teacher threatened the timid students like me and forced them to tell a lie or to get bad marks. That was led to fail course. She created the frightening atmosphere for students who honestly had questioned her teaching method, being bad-dressed like wearing a nightgown and above all her bad temper to the pupils. Unless the students told the schoolmaster lies the fact that she were a popular teacher, she would give them low marks. The bigots and other staff were in favor of such an impresario in our class.
    Her bracelets are still like mosquitoes reverberating in my ears: I don't know how to get rid of such an earworm.

    A Child's Memories


    When I was in the fourth grade at primary school, hostile behavior was my teacher's policy. Using extortion attempts, the teacher threatened timid students like me and forced us to lie or get a bad mark. She created a frightening atmosphere for students who had honestly questioned her teaching methods, her strange dress (like wearing a nightgown), and above all , her bad temper towards the pupils. Unless the students lied to the schoolmaster and said that she was a popular teacher, she would give them low marks. The bigots and other staff in our school were in favor of such a bully in our classroom.

    Thanks for your editing.

    "An earworm" means a particular sound, some lines of a poem, words or speech has remained in your mind repeating and irritating you for a long time. I have leared this expression from a Canadian teacher.

    Rare words such as; extortion, reverberating, and adverse

    As for "and said" that you have added in line 5, I meant the teacher forced us to lied to the schoolmaster that our teacher was a good person; therefore, I don't think the sentence needs "and said". Do you agree?

    And also about "I would appreciate it if you "can": I had been taught by "Thedeebo" an American teacher who was here.

    I appreciate your making corrections of me too.

    Best regards

    It is a slang term. If you use terms that are not in general use, you should explain the term. This can be used in your writings - "I still hear an earworm. Earworms are those irritating sounds that stay with you and the sound of her bracelets still remind me of worms drilling into my ears."
    Rare words such as; extortion, reverberating, and adverse
    Rare means unique - one of a kind. These are not rare words, they are common words. You could say (and I believe this is what you meant) that these are words that you rarely hear. Stated this way, it is subjective - only you are concerned. I hear these words often, they are not rare to me. A large diamond (the Hope Diamond, for example) is rare in that it is so large. Words cannot be rare because, if they are used, they are in some dictionary. This means that a person could research the word and find its meaning.
    As for "and said" that you have added in line 5, I meant the teacher forced us to lied (to lie) to the schoolmaster that our teacher was a good person; therefore, I don't think the sentence needs "and said". Do you agree?
    "Unless the students lied to the schoolmaster and said that she was a popular teacher, she would give them low marks.

    No, "and said" is correct here. The students had to lie (lied is the past tense), and the way they lied was by saying something (said). You could change the way this is written - "...to the schoolmaster by saying that..." You have to describe how the lying was done. Read the sentence this way - #1. Unless the students lied to the schoolmaster
    #2. that she was a popular teacher
    What ties these statements together?
    For example, It is early but we can go. The conjunction "but" brings the two parts of this sentence together.

    "Unless the students lied to the schoolmaster and said that she was a popular teacher, she would give them low marks."

    And also about "I would appreciate it if you "can": I had been taught by "Thedeebo" an American teacher who was here.
    "If you can" means if you have the ability. I would appreciate if you would, indicates a request.
    I appreciate your making corrections of me too.

    I thought it was a typo for "earthworm" But I found this:

    "This experience is called an earworm. Germans first came up with the term ohrwurm to describe the musical itch that apparently affects almost everyone at some stage or another. Research into earworms has found that virtually any piece of music can become one."
