107. 6:05
     Tutor hand with practice. Then replace confidence and practice with

     Tutor before you speak.
110. 6:20
     Tutor Remember, the expression doesn't prove a cause, and it
111. 6:23
     Tutor doesn't require two positive ideas. You can discuss costs,

114. 6:35
     Tutor may be better in technical writing.
115. 6:37

116. 6:41
     Tutor went for a past connection. One final distinction:
117. 6:45
     Tutor two unrelated events can happen at the same time. Saying
118. 6:49
     Tutor they go hand in hand suggests a closer relationship.
119. 6:53
     Tutor Shared timing alone may not justify that description.
