Very good lesson. I just want to add a couple of comments. Personally, when I was learning English, I had discovered this passive approach which helped me tremendously. so I would try to explain to learners that all the past participle adjectives; such as "I am delighted", I am exhausted" or I am interested etc. can be taken as passive voice if this approach helps you at all. I use this method because all the "ed" verbs used with any form of the "be" verb forms a passive condition. Using one of the same examples above; "I am interested in getting more details about this car..." I am interested- because the car interests you. Likewise, I was completely exhausted after the 5k run. The 5k run had exhausted you- this is an active voice because the 5k run is the subject which made you exhausted. So "I was exhausted..." So using past participle as adjective is very common. However, most teachers will not explain the usage with the passive approach. I should reiterate. This method is posted here for reference only for those who find it helpful. It is not found in traditional grammar book.
It's quite useful and helpful. Thank you very much Melody!

True story to share.. when I was a kid being a new immigrant in Canada in the early 90's.... I was really struggling to pick up English.... so this is what I did, I forced myself to watch CNN news and Seinfeld for at least a couple hours a day... and whatever could stick in my head, I would try so hard to repeat the phrases out loud in whatever American/NY/neutral accents they were speaking with.... the more you get familiar/comfortable with this process, the likelier you can adapt and start to talk more like a native!! I'm pretty sure the English education in HK is still the same... very robotic and they just hammer you on spelling & grammar... neglecting the fact that it's also VERY important to get into the flow of a native speaker!!

It's true. When you are speaking with the English native speakers, it feels like you are on a different planet. 😄

Thank you! Melody! How about this? --- "She is easy to get along with?" Is it ok to use the word "easy" like this?
可以说说形容不同的疼吗?家庭医生问我“what kind of pain do you have?”, 我回他“i have no idea what kind, just pain” 然后他列举了几个,我忘了。。中文我都不知道是什么疼😅

hi Melody, i much enjoy yr lessons. show us "don't" & "do" on meaning is quite effective. May you share how to use " lovely / perfect / enjoy / cheers / take care ..." instead of " thank you" when we end the conversation with foreigners. you know, when we meet strangers, teachers , salesmen, ( unknown) neightbours, customsers, friends, elderly people ( known)...I think those words should be good at specific situation. please advise.

in some of the examples which you shared, could we use to instead of for? such as if it's convenient to you
