Re:Re:Re: Advice-o-gram
Kendall, ÄãºÃ¡£
I notice that you didn't get a response on your question, so I thought I'd "butt in" and try to help out.
Butcher paper gets its name from the fact that it is commonly used in butcher shops to wrap meat. While newspaper works great for this purpose, we have a special paper for the job as well, which is usually very white and doesn't absorb liquids as much as newspaper does. Instead, it keeps all of the juices inside with the meat, so it stays more moist for a longer time. It comes in very large rolls, so it may be like a meter wide, and then as long as you like. The qualities of butcher paper also make it an excellent paper to use for arts and crafts.
The felt pens, we call "felt-tip pens" more often, but both terms refer to the same thing. I expect you've been using them all of your life, but just never heard them called by this name before. They are colored marking pens that we use to write, draw, or color with. For art, they are mostly used by children or for special occasions; serious artist are more likely to use pencil or paint, or charcoal. But they work great for craft projects--for making up picket signs for public demonstrations, events, or yard sales, for example. We often use them for making up name tags at conferences. They come in many different thicknesses, as well. The large ones are about an inch in diameter and have a rectancular tip cut at an angle. We often use black ones of this size when we are moving to a new home to label the boxes as we pack our things. A smaller tip is very useful for marking laundry so you don't lose your underwear at summer camp. Many people like to buy felt-tip pens with very fine points, which they prefer to using ball-point pens.
They call them felt-tipped because the tip of the pen is made of felt, a kind of cloth, usually made of wool, which is very absorbent. Actually, the whole pen is just a hollow plastic tube containing a long felt string or cord that is saturated with ink, and the felt core of the pen works kind of like the wick of an oil lamp, drawing the ink down to the tip of the pen as you color or write with it. Actually, in this sense, "felt pen" is a better name", but we use "Felt-tip" out of ignorance, since we only see the felt at the tip. These pens are often called "Marks-a-lots" (named after one popular brand name of the product), "marking pens," or "markers." They come in all different colors, and are ideal for artwork on butcher paper.
Highlighter pens, usually, are also felt pens.

Re:QUIERO PRACTICAR MI ESPA袿L
Hola Carmen,

También estoy estudiando el Mandarín, y me encantaría si me
podrías ayudar con esto un poco. Por favor, dejame una repuesta en "Making Friends" o en Seeking Partners.
