My first composition in Italki. The advertising. Hi friends, this is my first composition in Italki but I look forward to write a lot of more. Well, really I think I have a bad level with my writting but I hope improve my skill with your help and piece of advice. This short compositition is about the world of advertising in two ways. First, the advertising is an incredible word, I am working in a big advertising company since 2000, about 14 years ago but I worked in several small companies along of my life too. Although my work is a little bit bored because I don't make advertisment and commercial. Rather I take the advert of the advertiser, for example Danone, Pascual, Citroen or other, and I put them in the different media, for example into the radio or into Tv or into page online. On the other way, long time ago, in the small companies I worked, there were creative people and they maked commercials and adv for the radio or magazines... I think this was more funny and amazing. They created fun slogan or memorable singles or they chose and knew famous people. I expect you can help me to correct this composition. Thanks in advance and best regards.

My first composition in Italki. Advertising (en inglés no se usa el artículo para hablar de algo general como 'advertising'.  Solo usamos el artículo para hablar de un ejemplo específico).

Hi friends, this is my first composition in Italki but I look forward to write writing (siempre usamos el verbo en gerundo (-ing) después de 'I look forward to'.) a lot of more. Well, really I think I have a bad level with my of writing but I hope to improve (tienes que usar el verbo en infinitivo, como en espanol - Espero mejorar - I hope to improve) my skill with your help and piece of advice.

This short compositition is about the world of advertising in two ways. - Te entiendo perfectamente, pero 'in two ways' no suena natural...Se puede decir 'is about two aspects of the world of advertising). 

First, the advertising (sin artículo, estás hablando de la publicidad en general) is an incredible word, I have been working (en inglés hablamos de esto en el pasado) for a big advertising company since 2000, about 14 years ago, but I worked in several small companies along of throughout my life too. Although my work is a little bit boring (el adjetivo para hablar de cosas aburridas - 'bored' significa el estado de ánimo de una persona) because I don't make advertisments and commercials. Rather I take the advert of from the advertiser, for example Danone, Pascual, Citroen or others, and I put them in the different media, for example onto the radio, Tv or page online (para hablar de una página web se puede decir 'website, webpage, online etc).

On the other way hand, a long time ago (hace mucho tiempo siempre se traduce 'A long time ago' con el artículo indeterminado), in the small companies I worked for, there were creative people and they maked made (el particípio pasado de make es 'made' - un verbo irregular) commercials and ads for the radio or magazines... I think this was more funny and amazing. They created fun slogans or memorable singles or they chose and knew got to know (conocer a algn = to get to know somebody) famous people.

I expect hope (esperar se puede traducir 'to hope' o 'to expect' o 'to wait' en inglés!  Te explico las opciones otra vez!) you can help me to correct this composition.

Thanks in advance and best regards.

 

 

Muy bien trabajo, Javi.  Sé que he escrito mucho en negrita, pero solo porque veo que tienes un nivel alto de inglés y me gustaría tratar de explicar te algunas cosas para mejorar tu dominio del idioma.  Si tienes cualquiera duda o pregunta, dimelo.


Enhorabuena Javi!  Un ejercicio escrito muy completo.  Sigue así!


Un saludo,
