[@patriciaaguilerajb007]

Hello teacher Ben. Here's my example! When it comes to language learning, it's really challenging to tackle the anxiety of getting fluency. Most of the time I'm dread about grammar contents and I try to hasten things, even though I'm conscious that this attitude can hinder my progress and jeopardise my final results on exams. In order to thrive and succeed we have not to shirk our responsability as learners, embrace the opportunities and calm ourselves down.

[@tothepointenglishwithben.]

Excellent!

[@L1cktySplit]

Hahaha this is a good one 😂👍

Hola Ben, cómo estás? I am a teacher of English from Chile. I happen to sit for C1 advanced pretty soon. Although I am bit worried, I become more confident listening and learning with you. You do a fantastic work for which I admire you enormously! I am passionate about the english language and culture.

[@CarlosMartinez-mc5qm]

Hi Ben, these verbs are extremely useful. I encounter many of them when I read newspapers or watch any series. So, I highly appreciate this video. I have good news, at least for me. I don’t want to hinder your job, and that’s why I haven’t shirked the responsibility to write this comment. Anyway, you don’t need to dread that I won't post anymore, because I can promise you that I cherish your way of teaching. It greatly helps me thrive in English every single day. In fact, I crave to keep watching all your videos. Despite jeopardising my eye health by spending so much time in front of a screen, you don’t need to worry; if I encounter any trouble, I will tackle it. On the other hand, surprisingly enough, I’m not the kind of student who wants to hasten their learning process, because I enjoy the journey. As you know, there are no shortcuts to learning English. In conclusion, with your permission, I embrace you because you help me a lot in my own learning process. Take care, Ben!

[@elenamortolacobhc]

[@jeevansunny27]

As a teenager, I shirked my responsibilities and was always addicted to playing computer games. This hindered my academic performance. After my father passed away, I dreaded my family. I always cherished my father's memories. The only thing ahead was either thriving or surviving. My craving for computer games jeopardizes my life forward. To tackle that problem, I decided to hasten my knowledge of ethical hacking. Now the world embraces me with its warmth.

Here is my example Sir Ben.. I hope its correct...🤞 Never shirk your duties and never hinder abilities by dreading about the final consequences. Sometimes life jeopardizing you to tackle most difficult situations to give you something. Always do hasten in doing good things.Try to cherish yourself everyday. Life will definitely embrace you. 😊😇

[@martinjokes1610]

Thank you for your work

[@jormamaattanen3048]

Very useful! The verb to tackle is, of course, an ice hockey term, too. In fact, my native language Finnish has incorporated the word in its vocabulary, and it can be used also metaphorically in certain contexts.

Thanks for such a useful and inspiring channel! Just a few examples from me: 1. The weak performance of the players jeopardised the chances of the team to win the match. 2. I hasten to say that being consistent in your studies is the key to success. 3. You should not shirk your responsibilities as a parent while slogging away at books. 4. He was ready to embrace every opportunity to earn extra money in order his family could thrive. 5.

[@katyapourswine]

Hello, Ben! I am a new subscriber here and it looks like I am in a right place to improve my poor English! I’ve been thinking about it for ages and this is the time to tackle it, finally :) I would love to hasten my learning process here, but 2 years ago I embraced an opportunity to move to Portugal and right now I do my best to thrive as a Portuguese speaker. I hasten to add, that I know that learning two foreign languages at the same time could hinder my progress in both, but I am not going to jeopardise my achievements and put too much pressure on myself. I will try to buoy myself up and stave off burnout. Thank you, Ben, for videos! I’ve never heard about these words and they seem super useful!

[@hannofranz7973]

Gosh, you've just given me a really good inspiration for expanding on verbs in particular. It was the verb to thrive that inspired me. Somehow I seemed to remember that the American Constitution or Declaration Of Independence used somewhere the formulation that every human being should thrive for the pursuit of happiness so I looked it up. Even though I found the article I didn't see the verb to thrive used anywhere but I did notice that the Declaration Of Independence is an excellent reference to expand on advanced verbs as it continuously talks about depriving people of their rights, longing for self-determination and other beautiful concepts.

cherish is such a lovely word - it even sounds "cheerful". I wonder if that's because the first syllable reminds us of smiling since we say "cheese" and it sort of sounds like "cheerful". Thanks for a very helpful video.

[@MariaCivitillo-murieldeveloper]

Hello teacher Ben! Here my examples! I shirk the responsability to study. Being lazy can hinder my results at the exam. I dread about the result of my exam. My grandomother's ring is cherish to me. I'm trying to thrive with English. I crave to find a job sooner. I crave to pass the exam. I've jeopardized my brother the time I left him out of home. I tackle the anxiety to speak in English. I hasten my English watching film in that language. I embrace the opportunity to do the Proficiency exam.

[@zarrouguilucas2585]

Very informative. Content for advanced speakers is quite rare so thanks a bunch! Trivia : "To cherish" probably comes from the French "chérir" that means the same. "Mon/ma chéri(e)" (= my cherished) is the most common way to refer to your romantic partner (a bit like "darling" or "honey")

With respect to it, we just need do prevent ourselves from using basics vocabularies, it may probably hinder us then diminish our perfomance.
