Thanks, Bill, for your help!

Thina, the segment would read, then, "And my baby, who is 1 year and 9
months old, is sick. So I didn't sleep well."

Hi Bruce:

She didn't mean to say that the name of her baby is Ziek. Rather, that
her baby was sick.

<Ziek> is the Dutch word for <sick>, just as <goed> is the Dutch word
for <good>.

I assume the writer is from Indonesia and some Dutch has crept into her
English.

Re: Re: HELLO EVERY FRIEND

I hope this is right: If you do it now, then use "tobe+playing" "I'm playing this game now." If you did it in the past, use "played" "I played this game yesterday." If you do it several time, (in example everyday), use "play" "I play it once a week." If you talk about somebody else, use "plays" "He plays that game". I've been forgotten about tenses, so I hope that's right :) Cheers --Triyan. 2006/6/24, TIYA ATIE <elpruptigas@xxxxxxxxx>: > aloha everybody share your knowledge with me ok.

could you please check my essay

In recent decades,developed countries widely attracted to GM foods.I am not completely agre with this kind of foods,there are some advantages and disadvantages on this approach. Firstly,they can be a sources of foods for folks and might be a rich and excellent resources in future.Due to population increse,there is not enough foods for huge amount of people and GM foods can be counted as a kind of food for future genertaion.Furthermore ,due to the lower price to compared with organic foods some low income people will prefer to purchase these modified foods instead of spending more money on organic foods. Secondly,its drawbacks can not be overlooked,there are a numer of particular diseases due to consuming the GM foods,some scientist research demonstrated that with consuming the GM foods the risk of some kind of specific disease like cancers wil increae,for example currently I can see a number of cancers in human societies that I rarely found those over the last century.Another example is a kind of breast sweling in cows and this disease can transfer via cow milk to humans,this specific diseae is reported in cow populations that they feed by GM foods. In addition,to compared with natural foosds ,the GM foods are not as tasty as oganic ones and will predicted that most of the people will not receive those foods gladly. In conclution,there is no doubt tht natural foods are better and safer but I believe that we have to spend more time to study on this kind of foods.Honestly,if I found myself in this situation to choose organic or GM foods,I strongly prefer organic foods. ------------------------ Yahoo!
