Homework

Hello, teacher. I was sad that I didn't express my intention when I made a sentence with the adjective 'mean'. I told you like this; it's mean of her to earn money through the children. I wanted to say that children must not be the tool or means to make money. As I always feel, it's still hard for me to fully deliver my intention in English.^^ Don't worry. I didn't give up doing that yet. I hope I could freely talk to you in English. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.

Hi Kaylee! That\'s alright. I totally understand what you were trying to get across in your sentence. However, I didn\'t understand why you used that particular situation for the word \"mean\". I was just expecting a different kind of situation/sentence. Anyway, keep on trying and never give up. Check my corrections here. Ciao! ~Teacher Marie~ Hello, teacher. >> CORRECT!
