Hi Fandorin,
1/School fee rather than school's fee is commonly used
2/...who can help him out of the current deadlock/deadend/stalemate is correct .Your sentence"who can help him out the current deadlock/deadend/stalemate " is not correct.

Hi Tuongvan, I think your paragraph is ok

Hi,

He has just lost his job and he cannot find any other job to earn money to feed his family and to pay school fees for his children.You have too many uses of 'to' and of 'and' in this sentence. How about this?
He has just lost his job and cannot find another. He cannot earn money to feed his family and pay school fees for his children.


Now he is in a deadlock

Hi Clive,
Yes, when I say " He is in a deadlock/dead end/stalemate"I mean "He is in a very difficult situation and he cannot find a way to get out of it" Here,he lost his job and he has no one to turn to for help. He feels disappointed and does not know how to get money to support his family....My English is poor, but I hope from the context you can guess my idea right.

Hi,
I suppose you could say 'he is at a dead-end'.
