MY FIRST POST!

Hello everyone! I am a Spanish girl, who wants to improve her English. I am taking the First exam in June (B2 level). The problem here in Spain is that the educational methods for learning languages are not very efficient. We just open our textbooks and do grammar exercises, so I have to improve firstly, my speaking via chat or talking with a native speaker. I have just found this webpage and I find it pretty interesting and useful!
Now I am going to talk a little bit about myself:
In my spare time I love playing the guitar, playing tennis, painting, drawing, dancing funky...I speak Spanish (obviously), English, and just a little German and Chinese, but I want to focus on English because, you know, nowadays if you do not know this language you have a handicap. So because I am 15 years old, I still have time to get the accent etc before it is too late, I want to spend time learning it, watching tv series in English etc. I hope I will write on this platform more often! I would appreciate it if you correct any mistakes I have made in this text. Thank you for reading! :)

Hello Carolina and welcome to italki,

I think you have come to the right place, here you can find language partners and teachers and if you write regularly in your notebook, you will be able to learn from people's corrections. I usually suggest no more than 2 reasonable length paragraphs as longer texts may stop people from correcting them.

Your writing certainly seems to be about the right level for English First, but make sure you know how to write each of the different types of writing task. When you are writing, try to avoid putting too many commas in a sentence - it sounds a bit like you are running! It is better to break really long sentences into shorter ones and generally more natural in English.

All the best with your studies

Bob

Hello, everyone! I am a Spanish girl, who wants to improve her English. I am taking my first exam in June (a B2 level). The problem here in Spain is that the educational methods for learning languages are not very efficient; we just open our textbooks and do grammar exercises, so first I have to improve my speaking via chat room or talking face to face with a native speaker. I_found this site just right now, and I find it pretty interesting and useful! Now I am going to talk a little bit about myself: In my spare time I love playing the guitar, playing tennis, painting, drawing, dancing funky music...I speak Spanish (obviously), English, and just a little of German and Chinese, but I want to focus on English because, you know, nowadays if you do not speak this language, it's like you had a handicap, so because I am 15 years old, I still have time to get the accent before it's too late, I want to spend time learning it, watching tv series in English etc. I hope I can write here more often!
