ARVI Online English Tutorial
It's an online English tutorial. We teach basic English, proper pronunciation and grammar to foreign students.
In this lesson, I focused on the topic “Developing New Skills.” I asked the student to explain sentences from the passage in his own words, and I helped the student correct grammar, pronunciation, and word choice. For example, the student said, “They may solve it to AI,” and I suggested, “They may solve it by using AI,” explaining that “by” is the correct preposition for indicating a method or tool. I also helped the student practice pronunciation, including the word “colleagues” (/ˈkɑː.liːɡz/). When the student said “…getting new abilities,” I recommended “…acquiring new abilities” and explained that “acquire” is more precise and formal, as it implies actively learning, gaining, or developing skills. My objective was to help the student improve comprehension, analytical thinking, broaden vocabulary, polish pronunciation, and express himself more confidently in English.
1. YOU SAID: I need meet with them.
BETTER TO SAY: I need to acquire these skills.
REASON: After “need”, you should use the infinitive form of the verb (to + base verb). Also, “meet with them” is not related to acquiring skills; if your meaning is learning or gaining skills, “acquire these skills” is more accurate.
2. YOU SAID: They may solve it to AI.
BETTER TO SAY: They may solve it by using AI. / They may solve it with AI.
REASON: The correct preposition for method or tool is “by”, and "with" focuses on AI as a tool. “To AI” is incorrect.
3. YOU SAID: ...getting new abilities.
BETTER TO SAY: ...acquiring new abilities.
REASON: “Getting” is informal; in formal or academic contexts, “acquiring” is more precise when referring to learning or gaining skills or abilities.
