我个人的观点，学习英语阶段，最好是模仿，而不是创造。讲英语国家的人怎么说，咱们就怎么说，好处是，你说的他们能听懂。

继续学习：

How are you feeling?
I think I'm getting better.

问句用fell
答句用get
-------------------
试着换一种说法：
How are you feeling?
Not better. The pain is till awful.

继续学习：
挺有趣的，think highly of 用在别人身上，是褒义。而如果用在自身，就是自负了。

I think highly of him.

He thinks highly of himself.

Dialog
At a fancy restaurant 在一家高级餐馆里
Lucy：Will Arthur wait on us this evening？He's my fav ...

Lucy：Will Arthur wait on us this evening？He's my favorite waiter here。
露西：今晚亚瑟将在这里等我们？他是这儿我最喜欢的服务生。

Wait on sb (招待顾客，伺候) :
to do everything for someone so that that person does not have to do anything for himself or herself:

They didn't clear this table very well。
我档次低，去的饭店，经常需要自己拿纸巾再擦一下桌子。

came across: to meet or find by accident

I came across him in Cairns yesterday morning, when I was taking a walk by beach.

I happened to see  him in Cairns yesterday morning when I was wandering by the beach.

却竟然与版主失之交臂。

老师很会选教材，有些用法，在不同的文章里出现，加深印象：
more or less:
I can manage things with my left hand more or less. / I would say that he is now more or less fluent in English.

dress up:
Look at that man over there！He didn't dress up at all. / I didn’t have to dress up for work, but I did have to wear a uniform.

跟学小练习：
One day, he asked me to help him buy some healthcare products for his friends and family back in China. He told me Chinese people are fond of theses things.
