I use the Cambridge dictionary to translate "bag" and there is another bag's meaning: "a rude and insulting name for a woman, especially an older one." Is that slang?
As your dictionary says, there is a second meaning like this. It's usually prefaced by 'old' ('old bag') but it's a very insulting term which is not accepted in normal interaction. Apart from being insulting it is also seen as discriminatory and misogynist as it perpetuates harmful stereotypes.
There may be something wrong in the 3rd question of task 3.Answer should be earrings instead of scarf because we usually don't wear scarf even on some cold days. Compare with earrings scarf is more less use than earrings that I think. Don't mind me, just saying my opinion. Thank You for these greatest exercise.
Thanks for your comment! We think the answer should be "earring" because the question says "We usually wear only one of these" (i.e., not two, three, etc.), and we need to choose the answer that does NOT match the question. Usually, people wear only one belt, cap, rucksack and scarf, if they wear them. But many people wear a pair of earrings (i.e., two earrings), so that is the correct answer here.
I'm sorry about the inconvenience and thanks for letting me know. If you find out precisely how long it is before you are logged out, please let me know.
If you need to leave an exercise for a few minutes, I'd suggest opening another LearnEnglish page in a different tab on your browser. You can refresh that page every 10 minutes and you should remain logged in. I know that's not an ideal solution, but for now perhaps that could help you.
Do you have an accessory that is special in some way? Tell us about it.
Hi everyone! Hope you all doing well.
Actually, I have some accessories: a rucksack for work, a ring on my left hand, a necklace from my boyfriend and some scarves. I love scarf.
I think accessory is an easy way to make yourself different, make you beautiful.
Hello everyone, I hope you're in good health.
I loved this lesson.
Actually, I have some accessories in my home, like a rucksack, a scarf, a belt....etc. I use them when I need them. However, my siblings always wear them when I go out home or when I am on a trip. So tell me please which is the best solutions for using with them.
I live in tropical country so usually I don't need to wear gloves or scarf. But I need to use the sunglasses and cap when I go outside. Although I love to buy necklace, bracelet, belt and earrings but I rarely use them. I used to wear a rucksack when I was a student. I use my bag to carry my accessories. Sometimes I put my money into my pocket because I don't want to carry bag or rucksack.
I always put on my favorite earrings. Sometimes, I wear my necklace too. I usually wear some gloves when it is extremely cold but I always wear a hat. I like to organize my Rucksack before leaving for school.
Hi everyone!
I'll just say I have plenty of rings. I don't like wearing a hat, but instead, I wear a scarf on my neck or on my head when the weather is not better and snow or rain falls. Because, I usually wear a headphones and I think about to safe my technologies. Then I have two pairs of gloves, they are so brutal and "black spirit" vibe or emotionally aggressive get. Finally, I have some necklace, but I wear a one around my neck, because I like one.
This necklace means the support of female energy. I really don't believe it, but still wearing.
I always wear helmet, glasses and gloves while cycling. In my opinion everyone should think more about protection and their health. Also I often use rucksack to store warm clothes, tools, food etc.
But what do you think about cycling? Which type of transport prefer?
I do have all these accessories at home. I usually wear a neckless and a bracelet when I go out. I do wear earrings all the time and I like when my earrings go with my outfit.
I have to wear glasses when I'm driving a car because I can't see far away.
When I go shopping I take my rucksack with me, so that I have my hands free for my children.
I love accessories, especially caps. I have different color of caps that I use them in summer. they are lovely and protect my eyes and skin from sun.
I suggest to you to buy a cap and use in different seasons.
Hello, I'm very happy to join this course. It is very brilliant. I want to improve my English language through this course. Well, my mother gifted me one necklace. It was my favorite present. I have a lot of earrings and all the other stuff. Thanks, I hope I will learn through this course.
Hello, Everybody! I have rarity golden earrings with beautiful pattern. It's present from my grandmom. There are many various rucksacks in my closet, because I have two small kids. I don't like the necklace and bracelets. I'm dreaming about leather gloves and belt. I use only sunglasses in sunny days because I have healthy eyes yet. I have only two bags: black, yellow colored. I don't have any hats and caps.
Hi every one. How is it going?
For me I have got all the above things or accessories except a cap. I haven't had it yet. I love beautiful rucksacks because of l use it more for work and travel. I have got many of them. Also, I like jewelleries. Two years ago before I had my daughter I renewed my jewelries, the golden ones. I bought four necklaces and, for me and my daughters. I also have got five bracelets, three set of earrings and one ring. I always wear medical glass for a computer. I have got many colorful scarfs because I don't go out without it.
I hope the teacher check my writing. Thank a lot.
Thanks for your contribution! I'm afraid we don't correct our users' writing, but I'll mention a couple of things very quickly. First of all, 'because of' is used before a noun phrase ('because of their usefulness'), but before a phrase you should use just 'because' ('because I use them for work and travel'). The other thing is that 'glasses' is always plural, so you should say 'medical glasses'.
I usually wear a pink hat when I go out and sunglasses when the sun is too shining.
I use the Cambridge dictionary to translate "bag" and there is another bag's meaning: "a rude and insulting name for a woman, especially an older one." Is that slang?

Hello Aeronwen,

Hello Sir, Why is answer of the task3 pocket? Why not scarf?. If you don't mind, pls reply me.
Hello ChanMyaeAung007,
In the first question of task 3, you have to identify which accessory is not worn on your head or around your neck.
We usually wear a scarf around our neck, but a pocket is usually in trousers, a shirt or a jacket (not on our head or around our neck).
Does that make sense?
All the best,
Kirk

Thanks for explantion Mr. Kirk.
I didn't see it "Choose the things that DO NOT belong".
I guess because of see better (it refers to vision) not the scarf make people looks better
There may be something wrong in the 3rd question of task 3.Answer should be earrings instead of scarf because we usually don't wear scarf even on some cold days. Compare with earrings scarf is more less use than earrings that I think. Don't mind me, just saying my opinion. Thank You for these greatest exercise.

Using the rucksack my daughter bought me when sightseeing in London last week, it’s so convenient because it’s good enough big to put things inside.
