Analyze This!
What is a blog?
(Matthew G.)
A blog is a... It's sort of like an online diary, where people can post their thoughts, their ideas, their favorite music, they can link to their favorite things on the web, and they can also be a hub for a community. A blog is a simple thing that can be turned into many things. I think... It seems to me that, uh, when blogs are successful at creating a community, that's the number one benefit, where you can share knowledge, you can build upon knowledge, uh, and uh, just to know there are other people out there that share your interests. Or you, learn new things.
Well, uh, I think they are a good start. Blogs vary in terms of their quality and maybe their reliability, but um, I think it's great that they're out there. It adds to the global marketplace of information and um, provides an opportunity for uh, smaller entities, sma... independent people to have a voice. Sometimes it's with the major media and sometimes it's against it. I think it’s a valuable resource.
1) Use your instincts and google (see previous post) to answer these questions:
How many fixed expressions can you find? (even pairs of words, like 'sort of')
2) Put at least one in a 'comment' (below, right).
3) Other Questions:
Why does he say 'Uh' or 'Um'?
Why do some of the sentences seem incomplete, or seem to drag on?

(1) I found "in terms". I searched these words on google, and I found 161,000,000 sites. Is "in terms" a fixed expression??
(2) It is hard for me to find fixed expressions. And it is also hard for me to learn fixed expression by heart.
(3) How can I find fixed expressions easily?? Is there any good methods??
I think the reacson why the sentences seem like incomplete is saying and writing are different.
