      Is anybody willing to explain?
      Submitted by shazer on 23 September, 2008 - 10:37

       

      Can I find anybody who will discuss  some words which meanings are not really clear for me?

      for example - is a builder a brick layer or a construction ingeneer?

      Hello !

      It is very simple ! a bricklayer is a person who can construct walls, by hand, brick by brick. He or she may build a garden wall or help (with other bricklayers) to build a house or a bigger building.

      Good luck with your teaching !
