Hello Fatemeh, very good paraphrase, here’s my revision:


Change don’t argue to stop complaining.


The rest is right on target.


By the way, the phrase “That’s what I’m talking about” is used to place emphasis on the literal meaning of the words.


Your tenacity in dedication to learning English is paying off big time. Keep on keeping on!

Hello Fatemeh, very good paraphrase. Here’s my revision:


Change “occurs” to “of” i.e. ”...caused the collapse of the company…”


The phrase “my foot” is used to express a strong contradiction or disbelief. When Ms. Charlotte said “keep hope alive” the chairman challenged her optimism and added “we’re toast” meaning we’re ruined, like burnt toast.


You’re a very tenacious student, you will do well in school and your career!

Hello Fatemeh, your answer is correct. Adding the word “just” indicates it recently happened. However, not using “just” does not necessarily mean a long time but rather saying that it happened.


Good job!
