English, beautiful language!

I began to learn English at elementary school: my teacher was a pioneer!!! So I continued at school only but I had no  practice in the real world. Now I understand what I lost, the time is so different and English is more and more fundamental.
My nine year old daughter is studying in an international  school and I hope this will be better for her in the global world!
So I am trying to remedy my mistake, it is never too late LOL!!
Middle age, my age, is very interesting:  you have health, you have life experience, you have kilometers on your shoes but you still have a long street in front of you. And what a marvellous world we live in! Yes I know the humankind has a lot of problems but we have a lot of resources nevertheless! The web is a dream, trust me, I know the time when you needed a phone booth to call somebody, the computer was only a box, knowledge was only in books. Sure the medal is double-faced (There are two sides to every coin.) but I want to see the glass as half full
I'm an optimist, that is the only way to live, I think so; the story teaches us what was the past (see the One Hundred European War) ...
And to change the subject, I started to cultivate music study, so I think English is perfect; musical, full of perfectly accented words and short ones, and so on.
As Louis Armstrong said: "What a wonderful world" ...
I think he has got it, I agree 100%.

Hello Stefano,

It was interesting to read  your notebook today, I wonder how many of the students today will also be saying the same thing in the future. Quite a lot I suspect!

As you said in your earlier post you are thinking in Italian and then translating and writing in English. This is the reason I have made so many corrections. (Even though there are a lot of corrections I understand everything that you wrote!) Try to learn a little at a time and use them in your next text.

The phrases in green are phrases that you can learn as they are for the Italian equivalent.

Hope this helps

Bob
