I was virtually finished with my scientific paper, but I ran into a problem so I decided to put it on ice. I then called for help from scientists around the world for assistance.
Great - one small thing: 'Both help' and 'assistance' have similar meanings so you don't need to include both in your sentence. You could say 'I called for assistance from scientists around the world.' Or, you could replace the word 'assistance' with the word 'help'!
Friendly advice for English learners 🌎…be very intentional about the English media that you choose to listen to 🎧. In my opinion, I recommend listening to interviews or podcasts instead of dramatic films 🎬, as they simulate more realistic conversations 💬 🇨🇦
Is this version better? I virtually finished my scientific paper. However, I ran into a roadblock, so I decided to put the publishing of the paper on ice. I thought about the problem, but I couldn't solve it. I then decided to call for assistance from scientists around the world. By the way, how do I use finish? Should I say 'I virtually finished my work' or ' I am virtually finished with my work'?
She was virtually missed the flight as a result of traffic jam. I was supposed to buy some new clothes in this month because I am run out of money this month I inevitably put it on ice.
Antartic extremes are virtually guaranteed with global ramifications, therefore, vital science should not be put on ice. So that world scientists need to call for more research on climate change.
Good evening presenters of the video.Thank you for your productive and resourceful videos on a wide range of subjects. In this video, while referring to the casual usage of "virtually" Beth gave the example "I was virtually on the bus when it left without me".While summing up, it was changed to " I was at the bus when it left without me " I think " on" is the correct preposition in the said context. But why is the preposition "at" used? I am a little perplexed to make sense. Are "on" and "at" both acceptable there? I would be grateful if the BBC could clarify the correctness of the preposition "at" there. In my opinion,a premium institution like BBC never errs.
Hello. Thanks for your question - the use of preposition changes the meaning slightly here. 'On' the bus refers to actually sitting inside the bus, whereas 'at' the bus refers to being at the place where the bus is - maybe at the bus stop. So both are correct in this example, but the meaning changes slightly.
I virtually killed someone as the pray when I was hunting with my friends. I felt to put on ice about hunting. I started to call for the danger of hunting in the jungle with the like minded people.
I felt sad for the animals that suffering because of our greed. The world actors, citizens of the world doing merely anything to save the mother nature
Penguins and some wild animals are virtually in danger since climate change over the past few years. A call for help from the authorities should be made to put this emergency situation on ice.
Lol!!! This is seasonal, 100% normal. Our small, close local sun is moving into the Tropic of capricorn resulting in the melting of the ice around the ice wall that contains all our oceans water in and circles our known world/realm/pond. The ice that has been melted will all freeze back up again when the sun goes back up to the Equator and Tropic of cancer.
My professor shouted virtually to me because I didn't do the homework, however, she could notice she decided before putting the homework on ice for 3 days, hence, I took the decision of calling for a report in the director's office of the school.

In English, you say, put on ice. In Chinese, we say, 凍結. Also, the meaning of the characters is the same as the words in English.
I noticed that you were wearing long sleeves last week, but you're wearing short sleeves today, Neil and Beth. Was there a heatwave?
It’s a little warmer today, yes :)
I virtually get the score I needed in the IETLS test.
That's good - do you need to do the exam again? Careful with tenses: 'I virtually got the score...'
Thank you BBC Learning English...🙏
You're welcome :)
Thanks a lot, guys! Your videos always really useful and interesting!
Thank you ❤
You both are my virtually English trainer. I was almost going to take admission for learning English but I put it on ice.

Do you have favourite podcasts or interviews you like to listen to?
I virtually collapsed after losing my friend, as if my life is put on the ice. I call for help to remain in touch with my family.

By the way, how do I use finish? Should I say 'I virtually finished my work' or ' I am virtually finished with my work'?
Thank you a lot Bbc

I think put on ice maybe also equals to put it on the back burner, is it right
Yes, you're correct - these phrases are very similar :)

Does ’call for’ have the same meaning as ‘call out’ ?
👏👏👌👌👍😊
You guys are virtually my english teachers
When spoken she said "I was virtually on the bus..." but the written text says "at the bus". Surely it should be "at the bus stop". No?

I virtually killed someone as the pray when I was hunting with my friends.
I felt to put on ice about hunting.
I started to call for the danger of hunting in the jungle with the like minded people.
put on ice. meant to say " give it with a pinch of salt. " So i will put in on ice till we are assure it is the properly solution.
