For me also writing it was is also very difficult, because I am ashamed of not being very good.Now I really want to improve my English and so thank you for your suggestions that will allow me to catch a dream.
Hi Gabriella,
Your writing isn't bad so there's no need to be ashamed.
Most of the changes I made were to put them in the right tense. "As a child", you "dreamed" since that happened in the past. Since, I assuming, your shyness is making it difficult so speak English now, phrases "but when I had to speak", "my shyness didn't", and "writing was" should be in the present tense, which are highlighted above.
"I would like met people" was changed to "I would like to meet people" because "would like" in this instance requires the use of the infinitive form of the verb. A verb's infinitive form is "to" plus the base verb form so here you would use "to meet". For a better description, check out http://www.learnamericanenglishonline.com/Blue%20Level/B27_Would_Like.html.
I added "experience" in front of "different cultures" because you don't meet cultures. You get involved in the culture and do things, whether it be learn the local customs, attend festivals, or other things that help you develop an appreciation for the culture of the country you are in.
Hopefully my explanations make sense. They do in my head which doesn't always mean they do when I type them out. Good luck in your English learning! :)
English And My Shyness
Asd a I child I dreamt of travelling the world. I would like met have loved to meet (new) people and from different cultures. English language has always fascinated me, but when I had to speak... my shyness didn't make me speak (it's better to say: " But I became speechless because of my shyness"). For me also writing it was very difficult, because I am ashamed for not being very goodNow I really want to improve my English skills and so thank you in advance for your suggestion that will allow me to catch a dream.
Very good, just remember that in English you should write the title with capital letters and pay attention to the third conditional...I know it's tricky! If you need of any help, feel free to contact me ;-)
