Bu pratik kelimeler çok iyi olmuş gerekli ve bir türlü aklımda tutamam .

aslında birçoğu birbirinin yerine kullanılabilir nitelikte. Fakat informal yani resmi olmayan konuşma dilinde bu tarz zorlayıcı kalıplar ya da prepositionlar yerine daha basit ifadeler kullaniliyor. Mesela time after time ile karşılaşmak binde bir yerine continuously daha net oluyor.
Yani kulağa aşina olanları bilmek yeterlidir bence, çünkü ardından alternatiflerini de kullanarak ancak öğrenilebilir bu tarz gıcık kalıplar.

Haklısınız uzun kelimelerde kısaltma yapmak da çok işe yarıyor. Örn: ASAP: as soon as possible bunun gibi bir denerim ben ve cümlelerle

A WALK OF LIFE-- one's occupation or profession

WHEREBY--by means of which

WITH A CRİTİCAL EYE--carefully
-we need to look at such theories with a critical eye

UNDER DISCUSSION-- tartişılan, tartışılmakta olan
-the weapons system under discussion could destroy the whole europe.

VICE VERSA--the other way around
-shall I come to your house or vice versa?

Gözden geçirmeli bunları.. Zamanla her şeyi unutmaya başlıyorum.. :/
