How to say in other words?
Hi, evryone. I am trying to improve my english and I need some help.
I have a few questions:
1. What is synonym for "account for X per cent"? How to say in other words this sentence: It accounts for 55 per cent.
2. This sentence is about smoking. "I only realised I was hooked up when I discovered I'd run out late one night and walked for a miles to find a shop that was still open". Is "I'd run out" means that he HAD spent all his cigarettes. I am not sure what phrasal verb run out means in thos context.
3. "Instead, by marketing your body language , you can control your own success." What means "by marketing"?
Thank you a lot!
