peer agreement (net): +1To start afresh Explanation: For example, if you wrote an essay and didn't like it very much, you might want to start all over from the beginning. Then you have made a new beginning. I hope this answers your question. |

life Explanation: It's often used to talk about somebody's life. For example, if an alcoholic joins a program such as Alcoholics Anonymous, he or people who know him might refer this decision as "a new beginning." The same might be said of a job-change, or a divorce.

This really depends on context. Can you give us more? Explanation: possibilities might be "onset", "a fresh start", "rebirth". A choice that would be perfect in one context would be terrible in another. Can you explain further the contest in which the word would be used? |

to start over Explanation: You're delivering a lecture on finite state automata, half way through the lesson you realize that your students are lost, every attempt to build on what you have explained only adds to the confusion. Finally you admit to yourself that your approach was wrong from the beginning. You then make the courageous announcement: "Ok, let's start over" The class is relieved by this chance for a new beginning. The context phrase "to discribe something new" might also benefit from a new beginning:) Regards, Alaa Zeineldine |
