[@eslcitznj09]

Your materials are such high quality, thank you so much. One note for American English learners: Americans do not say "do a burp" "do a course" "do a fart" or "make a loss" We would just say "burp" "fart" "take a course" and I'm not sure what "make a loss" means

[@WoodwardEnglish]

Yes, we use the verb form of burp and fart too.
