MY FAVORITE. BOOKS. This is my first post on italki, i'am new here. Well, i didn't know what to write about so i decided to write about my top 5 books. The first think you need to know is that i'am a huge fan of Ci-Fi and by that reason a lot of my compilation will be of that genre. Let's begin: 5- The picture of dorian gray: This book gave me a complete different perspective about beauty and society and was delightful to read. 4- The adoration of jenna fox: This book has a simple estructure but the message is powerful and clear. It makes the reader think about the future, genetics and technological advances. 3- The hunger games saga: Maybe a lot of people would say this books are for teens, and they really are because of their format, but the content is complex if the reader try to see underlines, is an emotional and political powerful story of war and mass media. 2- Song of fire and Ice: What could i say about this books that people wouldn't know, the TV series shows and tells everything. Is superb. 1-Martian chronicles: At least i think is the name in english, because in spanish is "Crónicas marcianas" and it's a Ray Bradbury's book. This is the most poetic, sociological complex and powerful book i ever read. Is a compendium of tales with messages about humanity wrote with a delightful criticism. I could put another books that I love, like 1984, brave new world, les miserables, or books of latin american authors, but i decided my top because of the emotion that this storys gave me when i read them. Thanks for reading.

I could put another other books that I love, like 1984, Brave New World, and Les Miserables, or books of Latin American authors, but I decided my top five because of the emotion that this these storys stories gave me made me feel when I read them (we "feel" emotion; so in English you don't "give" somebody emotion, you "make them feel" emotion). Thanks for reading.

 

Very well done! I also love The Hunger Games and Les Miserables, and I enjoyed The Picture of Dorian Gray quite a bit too. If you have any questions about any of my corrections (for instance about the proper order of adjectives), feel free to ask for clarification. Best of luck in your learning!


P.S. I apologize about splitting my correction into two posts - my computer is acting up and this was the only way it would let me submit the correction.

Rebecca already made some excellent corretions.  If you have read all these books, your command of English is excellent.  You had a question about the order of adjectives in English.

Generally, the adjective order in English is in the following order:


Quantity or number.
Quality or opinion.
Size.
Age.
Shape.
Color.
Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
Purpose or qualifier.

Here is a useful link to a graphic which illustrates the typical order:

MY FAVORITE. BOOKS.
This is my first post on italki, i'am I'm ("I am" contracts to "I'm", so if you are going to put an apostrophe, you have to delete the "a"; and remember that "I" is always capitalized in English) new here. Well, i I didn't know what to write about so I decided to write about my top 5 (favorite) books. The first think you need to know is that i'am I'm a huge fan of Ci-Fi sci-fi and by for that reason a lot of my compilation will be of that genre. Let's begin:

 

5- The Picture of Dorian Gray (remember that we capitalize all the words in a book title, except for short words like "and", "of", "the", "a", etc. (although even these short words are capitalized when they come first in the title); also, we italicize the titles of books in English): This book gave me a completely different perspective about on beauty and society and was delightful to read.

 

4- The Adoration of Jenna Fox: This book has a simple estructure structure but the message is powerful and clear. It makes the reader think about the future, genetics and technological advances.

 

3- The Hunger Games saga: Maybe a lot of people would say this these books are for teens, and they really are because of their format, but the content is complex if the reader try tries to see underlines. the underlying/deeper meaning. It is an powerful emotional and political powerful political story of war and mass media. (I switched the order of these two adjectives because I think what you are saying is that The Hunger Games is an emotional and political story, fundamentally, and that it is also happens to be a powerful one; you should put the most important and descriptive adjectives ("emotional" and "political") as close to the noun "story" as possible)


2- Song of Fire and Ice: What could i I say about this these books that people wouldn't know, the TV series shows and tells everything. It is superb. (in English, we always have to have an explicit subject - we cannot leave out the pronoun or noun like you can in Spanish)


1-Martian Chronicles: At least I think this is the name in English (remember to capitalize the names of languages!), because in Spanish it is "Crónicas marcianas" and it's a Ray Bradbury's book. This is the most poetic and the most sociologically complex and powerful book I have ever read (I added "and the most" because if you leave it out, it makes it sound like The Martian Chronicles is the most poetically complex and powerful book you have ever read) . It is a compendium of tales with messages about humanity wrote written with a delightful criticism.
