Last night People’s Square TMC let me be the grammarian at their meeting. I really like language and words. Unfortunately, I am not good at words in any other languages than English 
Their VPE, XiaoXiao, asked me to share a written report so other members could learn from it. I also decided to post it here. I hope you find it helpful!
The Word of the Day was “invincible”. You might use the word like this: “I’ve dropped my camera at least five times, but it still works perfectly. It is invincible!”
Words and phrases I liked hearing:
Joe – Regarding …
Roawin – Fantastic, structure and organization, “love someone, love her mother!”
Alex – recently, hinder, ordinary
Paula – conquered, getting hired or getting fired?
Linda – straightforward, divert, input and output (you had to hear the story that went with it)
The most common mistake was saying “make a huge progress.” It should be “made progress” or “made a lot of progress” or “is making great progress.”
Don’t say audiences when referring to all of the people in the audience. You will always use audience, if you are talking about only the people you are standing in front of. Plural would only be used if you were referring several groups. “The audiences in PS, Leadership and CAT really like the trainings I gave their clubs.”
“You need to sell yourself out” should be “You need to sell yourself.” (Selling yourself is great. Being a sellout is not.)
Other things to improve on:
Here is it. Here it is.
What it is? What is it?
Give feedbacks Give feedback. (Feedback is always singular.)
Make people entertained Entertain people
Louder your voice Raise your voice or speak louder
She is a great sales. She is a great salesperson. or She is in sales.
I am very envy of… I am very envious of…
Will you give a try? Would you like to try? or Will you try?
How many time left? How much time is left?
