Daily English - May 16th

I was talking about pubs for hockey games in RCC.
I tried to say that the Cambie Pub which is a very dinsy but good-atmosphere having pub is the best place to watch a hockey game.

So, I said that
'Any pub can be compete with the Cambie Pub.'

Teacher Sahwa corrected to
'Nothing can compare to the Cambie Pub.'

What is wrong with the first sentence what I said?
I actually do not know exactly. The sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense to me. But.... it must be a Korean sense.

Next,

This is important.
One student in my class made a mistake using the 'conjunction' WHEN and AFTER.
First, what are conjunctions?
Conjunctions are functional words link 1) words and words
                                                        2) sentences which are not complete
                                                        3) complete sentences

The first mistake what she made is that
'I will buy a running pair of shoes when I will get my paycheck.'
When is used as a conjunction in this sentence and it functions to define the meaning of 'time' or 'condition'.
On this case; when is used as a conjunction, the tense in the 'when phrase' should be a 'present tense', because as itself 'when' means the time the subject did or will do something.
The phrase having a conditional conjunction should use the same tense as the 'timing conjunction(?)'.
For example, the correct form of my class mate's mistake was
'I will buy a pair of running shoes when I get my paycheck.'
Other conjunctions like AS, BEFORE, AFTER as timing conjunctions and IF, UNLESS as conditional conjunctions should be used the same way as the example up there.

However, there is a tricky 'correct' sentence.
'I will do my homework after showering.'
The sentence is also correct.
Why???? Conjunction should link two same formats of group words....(clauses or phrases)
The trick is that those two phrases are in the same level which means that even the AFTER phrase looks like a clause, it is basically a phrase.
The answer will be shown tomorrow's posting.
please reply me the reason.
I will be waiting for your reply......
hahahaha see you tomorrow!

Introduction

Really sick and tired to be a lazy man.

Starting today, I am going to upload, at least, one simple posting every weekday.

Let's get started.

I go an institution called 'Robson Conversation School'.

It is just a small private English learning center which has few part-time ESL learners.

Despite of the stereotype of those kinds of institutions, I like the way they teach student.

Literally, I like the way they feedback to students. 

Teachers give feedback when students make mistakes or after finishing the class.

Not only they comment about students' mistakes but also they write on a report and copy it for students.

This is today's report card from RCC.

This report card or the classes will be the basis of my posting in this folder.
