Can you believe it? Someone in another group asked me to write some pages of their website in English and French. But they can't pay because 'I'm starting this business with no money.' He said he's a professional photographer and he can do some photos for me instead. Am I wrong to be angry?

Nope! I’d be angry too

I can't help but here's the link to a friend's website. He is a French–English writer and translator www.franco-anglo-translations.com/About

Oops! I thought you were looking for someone. Sorry for the misunderstanding

I can't pay my rent with photographs, sorry
Katie20
Exactly!

True, but professional photos cost a lot of money, especially if you're getting married. Sorry I don't speak French or I would do it

Here's a link to his photography if anyone wants the job www.billsphoto.com/portfolio As you can see the website needs some work …

@Mylo45 Maybe, but people always ask writers to work for free #PayMe
Katie20
Yep, if I need photos OK but I prefer to get paid with money

NOOOO! because I don't have time for this kind of discussions.
No, I don`t. I don`t have time for that.
I think I haven't joined discussion forums online seriously yet... ;)
I have a question, please.
In task 1, I don't understand why you use 'they' instead of 'he' or 'she'? For example, it said: "What does Katie20 mean when they say 'Exactly'?" Why you don't write "What does Katie20 mean when she says 'Exactly'?"?
Hi Leila77,
Good question! We can use they when we don't know the person's gender. For example:
In modern English usage, some people also use they when the person's gender is known, to avoid invoking any gender stereotypes.

Many thanks! I didn't know that.
Sure, it helps me to improve my English language if it is in English by speaking with native, also it expands my culture by reading a lot about different subjects
I join many discussion forum especially national politics, economics, and health
Well, it's really useful for everybody when we write the comment on Facebook or Instagram. It's necessary to write politely words.
Yes, I join in many discussion forum because I can learn their opinion and I can know what they think the problem. If I am lucky, I can get help from them. So, I like discussion forum.
