關於College的意思和用法的提問

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: we should put s to the verb when it is in the present simple tense , ends with any letter except " o, ss, sh, ch,x ,y " and it must come with a female name (she) or male name (he) or any singular name

A:

Let's go to the cafeteria after class.

I wonder what they are serving in the cafeteria today?

Let's meet at the cafeteria before we leave.

I was studying in the cafeteria before I met up with my friends.

The cafeteria food was very bad/good.

A: In the UK all are categories of further Education
You attend University with the aim of acquiring a Degree

You attend college to further your secondary education -usually aged 16-18. This level of education is often to prepare for exams to get into university.

Technical school/college - again usually from age 16-18 to acquire vocational training to prepare for work as a tradesperson or artisan

In USA college is equivalent to a UK University

A: @kpop30fr A university contains a number of colleges (College of Law, College of Medicine, College of Arts and Sciences). A college contains a number of departments (the College of Arts and Sciences contains the Department of English, The Department of Spanish and Portuguese, The Department of Sociology, The Department of Art...)

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: 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

A: × I ended up getting to college in Taiwan instead of in Japan.
✓ I ended up going to college in Taiwan instead of in Japan.

"getting" would mean physically arriving there (by train, by boat, etc.), not attending as the sentence presumably means

A: × I was supposed to go to college in Japan but I bombed the center examination so badly.
✓ I was supposed to go to college in Japan but I bombed the center examination horribly.

× And then I didn't get accepted into college where I wanted to get.
✓ So I didn't get accepted into the college that I wanted to get into.

Horribly sounds more natural than so badly. There are many words that can be used instead of "so + word". For example, phenomenal instead of so good etc. These words sound more natural and fluent.

"So" should be used instead "And then" because it signifies consequence.

A: × At first, I was disappointed that I should eat udon in the morning, but once I got used to it, I have come to like it.
✓ 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 😊
