Do you watch news?
Listening or watching news make you feel nauseous. It talks about disasters, wars, never-ending conflicts or pandemics. Reports coming from China is quite horrible. They say that some cities has been turned into city of ghosts. Similar news give the sense that the existence is about to end. The problems on our planet are snowballing instead of vanishing. I apologize to write a gloomy composition but I wanted to examine my vocabularies concerning different topic.
Anyway, watching videos like the one below might entertain language learners and support the view that encourage learners to practice speaking together not necessarily with native speakers.

Do you watch news?
Just wanted to say Onekoiboy has done a great correction there is no need to change his correction. The one error that immediately stood out was
the reports coming “from China is. “ You will get used to correcting this common error if you continue to practice a little longer.

Do You Watch the News?
It makes you feel depressed if you listening to, or watching the news these days. With its endless talk about disasters, wars, never-ending conflicts, and pandemics, how can any of us feel happy? The reports coming from China are quite worrying, and with everyone staying indoors due to the virus, the streets and roads are eerily empty, with some cities resembling ghosts towns. Similar news gives the sense that the human existence, itself, is about to end. It seems that the problems on our planet are snowballing and growing larger, instead of growing smaller and vanishing. I apologize for writing such a gloomy composition, but I wanted to exercise my vocabularies concerning a different topic.
Anyway, watching videos like the one below might be entertaining to language learners, and supports, if not encourages them to practice speaking with others, even those who are not necessarily native speakers.*

Hi, Nada, Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more nature to my native ears, to clarify your thoughts, and for ease of reading. My sincerest apologies if I have misinterpreted. I hope that this helps you, Jonathan.
*Although spelled with a "s," the word "news" is considered singular, thus, the verb should be "gives" to have Subject-Verb agreement.

I did see the video Nada. I have seen a lot of Steve's videos in the past. I can't speak Arabic but it looked like Steve was struggling quite a bit here. Bravo to him for trying anyway. As a beginner to intermediate language learner, personally I much prefer to practice my 2nd language with a native speaker or advanced learner. It's already so hard to learn a language, I don't want to be learning the wrong things only to find that I have to unlearn them at a later time. If I was a confident, advanced learner, then I would be happy to practice with other learners from beginner to advanced. BTW was their Arabic good ?
