Rules

You should have at least 50 participations so you can send private messages

Each quiz will last only a week and the answers should be written and sent to me in a private message

Every week, we will have a different type of quiz, vocabulary, certain grammar rules... etc

You can discuss your answers after the end of submission time (deadline) and not before the end of the quiz, if you did so, you will be banned from getting the points of the week

http://images.msoms-anime.net/images...3178715110.jpg

How does this work?l

I will give the questions here

You take them and answer them, preferably alone without any help from outside or the internet

I will grade your answers and give a point for each correct answer which will be calculated untill the end of the month and we will have our monthly top three
If the quizes were successful, we will make official and start in beginning of the new year with a two month, 8 quize marathon to determine who would be our top three in the competition to win their deserved medals

By the end of the week, I will announce the grades and show you the corrects answers with explanation

I did not understand what you are trying to say
you just have to use a word which gives the same meaning as the phrase before
just one word like in the example

Ohh !!
Great !!
But the problem is, that I have exams this week
For that, I must send my answers tomorrow
Good Luck

Done...:Pacman-icon:

You don't know what might happen
We still have at least 8-9 quizzes untill the end of February
theres is a big chance form every one to catch up and win at the end

the first time is the longest (three months), but the next ones will be two months each

can I useing google to know the meaning of difficult word or sentence ؟؟

No one can answer everything from his head only
but I said not to do that because you shouldn't if you want to test yourself

that's all

How to answer is your choice

DONE
....

yes .. its better to me
but in the same time I use it to translate the word on question A & B
to understand the meaning of words

really I need to improve my language

^ ^"...I have a question in part D

...?Can I use the given words...twice
^ ^"...?Or should I use the word only once

First: Swap has two pronunciations one of them is the same as dog

as letter " O " in dog is the same as letter " A " in swap

and if you look for swap in the Dictionary you'll see that

---

They are different
because the sound of the (o) in dog is the same as it's written in the standard English, and the a in wasp is the same as it's written

you're correct if we said them in different accents
if we said (dog) in an accent and the other one in another accent and that's not possible because we should use one accent or the standard English not mix them
anyways, I'll mark both answers correct this time

اقتباس:

---

The default method of solving this question is to use each word only one time

and we use " Keep " in the third sentence because it is an expression

so in the fourth sentence the suitable word from the left words is " Give "

---

That's the default when I give you the exact number of choices
If I gave you four words, and there are four blanks, then you're right, but I gave you more than three choices and three blanks

اقتباس:

---

if we say " Keep your feet warm " it means

تبقيها أو تجعلها دافئة

and if we say give your feet warm it means

تعطيها الدفء

and I think they both have the same meaning

---

That's not correct
If you used (give) then it's wrong because it would be like this

give your feet warmth
^
^
we use the noun not the adjective



If anyone wants to discuss something, discuss them here not on private so everyone could learn and discuss, too

As I said before, there are more than one possible answer for some of the questions. If they are right, you will get the mark, if not, you won't get the mark
you'll get what you deserve, so no worries about that
some parts could be flexible like the one of dog and wasp and newspaper... etc

In the part of phonics I have a note concerning the tow words
Lion and Tiger

Lion = [ˈl aɪ ən]b= triphthong
Tiger = [ˈt aɪ gə]i= diphthong

so as you see we have different sounds which make them different not same in pronunciation

Ok
Before I put the results, I need to clarify few things
I made many exceptions except for few things

Let's see

1
You can't write more than one answer, I know it's possible to have more than one, but you have to choose one and I think that's a common sense and I didn't need to tell you that
So, if you wrote more than one answer, the answer is considered wrong

2
A.2
Expelled or fired are wrong, if they were correct, I would write them as they are instead of replacing them with left which mean that the employee left the job by himself

A.3
retire and retired are two different words with different meanings

C
The question was clear, I asked you to give me a short form from the words you see, not the synonyms or words that have the same meanings
Television (TV) not screen, monitor... etc
newspaper (paper) not daily... etc


Here are the results

New updates

The next quiz will be delayed till next week as we still have two weeks before the end of the month
So, take a break (for me, too) and we will resume next week

The next quiz will be easy and direct

Those who didn't participate in two quizzes (participated in only one so far) will be disqualified if they didn't participate in the next quiz
The next month's four quizzes will have only those who completed at least two quizzes in the first 4 quizzes

OH!! so I took 14.5 @@
what a mass 5555
I just was little bit consfused in a certain places, so I choosed to write whatever,
beter than keep'in it empty,
tonikaku ^^

thank you, our teacher and supervisor for your effort =)
and we'll continue this cpm insha'Allah

اقتباس:

---

Maybe it's better for me and everyone if we have quizzes with no chance of having more than one possible answer
Then, I should mark the answer wrong if one letter is wrong, then no one can say you're wrong
That's better than all the exceptions I made for many answers, and the big exception I made especially for you

---

Take it easy sir , I'm sure he ment nothing more than talking to a close friend
you are doing great and I'm indeed thankful , but you know when it comes to answers and marks the issue is a bit sensitive
As I myself are seeking the truth and not farther than that
so you might want to revise my answers




All respect

1You can't write more than one answer, I know it's possible to have more than one, but you have to choose one and I think that's a common sense and I didn't need to tell you that
So, if you wrote more than one answer, the answer is considered wrong

---

I did't know that we have to write only one word in the questions A & B

so I wrote two answers and I was sure of them & they are the same asnwers that you have written

I didn't write any word wrong all I did was that I have written two words & they are both correct and you wrote them in your answers

My only Mistake in the quiz is the fourth sentence in question D and I got 14 ??

wow

A very bad mark ^_^

I couldn't believe , worse each time


Any way, that was great and useful quizes .. I and of course we learn a lot and still learning


So, please people don't be angry and don't think ever to give up

It's a chance and a gift from mohbaboo to test ourselves in E Lang. , so why not.. Let's do it every week


Thanx all

Thanx T.mohbaboo for every thing

The problem is that you're not the only one
many others did the same thing and that means I have to mark the answers again for everyone, and that's very difficult to be honest
and it's really a hard job
you are still one of the best participants so far
^_^
sorry about that

Believe me, that won't make easier for me or you
Have ever wrote two answers in your exams?l
it's like writing true and false at the same time in true and false questions
as I said, I'll try to make the next ones more direct and easier

I'm really sorry
if I marked yours as correct, them those who wrote two answers and one of them is wrong gonna tell they wrote a correct one
In education, teachers ignore these kind of situations for a reason or more than one reason so it won't make things complicated

you're on the right track and you never know what might happen next
one of the best participants (Majid) with the Japanese name didn't submit this week
you never know who's next

I understand what you are saying but it's still makes me feel sad

In exams when we are not sure of our answer we always write two answers one right and one wrong in order to make our teacher choose
the correct one and give us the full marks

xD

but here I just wanted to write all the possible answers that I was sure of them and I did't write them in order to make you choose the correct one as we do in exams


So I have a suggestion for you ( If you have time ) can you see our answers again ?

Those who write the two answers right give them the full mark

and those who write two answers one right and one wrong don't give them the full mark

So all will get the marks they deserve

20 / 14
^^
very bad
I will make my best next quiz
