DON'T PANIC
Dear Teachers,
1. He's very nice but she has only known him three weeks.
- I think "..........for three weeks" is better, right?
2. Is "they're short of money" the same meaning as "they are broke"?
3. Is "don't be afraid!" the same meaning as "don't panic!"?
4. What is your favorite kind of music?
- Can I say "What is your favorite music?"?
Thanks very much to Teachers,
Stevenukd.

1. He's very nice but she has only known him three weeks.
- I think "..........for three weeks" is better, right? Only slightly. Both are fine.
2. Is "they're short of money" the same meaning as "they are broke"? They're very similar, but broke is worse.
3. Is "don't be afraid!" the same meaning as "don't panic!"
