Looking for a flat to live. Today, my girlfriend and I were looking for an apartment. It was very hard, not only for walking long distances, but also because of the rain. It was raining the whole afternoon, and we visited some flats. There are a lot of them, but money is the problem. The big ones are expensives and the small ones are old or far away. Soon we have to move, another thing that I hate. You have to package your entire house, move it on a truck, and unpack it. It's a very good time to throw away the trash and things that you don't use. What about you? Have you ever move? Do you like to do it? I mean, moving in the same city.

Another entry. This is a test. Today is very hot. Last night it rained like it would be the last one time. There were a lot of lightings and wind. I woke up at 3.30 am and saw that water was entering my house. Still there are fallen trees, water on the street, and so on... it's a chaos. Weather in my city is changing, like in every world does.

My English homework. I just wanted to post it here, for you correct me before the teacher... :P A.1 Underline the correct alternative. 1. I (didn't do/_haven't done_) much work (for/_since_) my boss left. 2. I (_didn't go_/haven't been) to China (for/_since_) 2002. 3. She (has been/_was_) a doctor (_for_/since) more than forty years. She retired in 2006. 4. Hi, Angela. How are you? I (_haven't seen_/didn't see) you (_for_/since) ages. 5. I (_left_/have left) university in 1995. I've worked in this company (for/_since_) about fifteen years. 6. I (_didn't see_/haven't seen) Sam yesterday. In fact I (_didn't see_/haven't seen) him (for/_since_) Monday. 7. He's really tired. He's been working (for/_since_) 5:30 a.m. 8. She (_hasn't driven_/didn't drive) a car (for/_since_) she had the accident. B. Complete the sentences with for or since.

English-mania. Hi everybody! Today was a great day. When I arrived to my work, there was a sign with a legend: "Keep calm and English-mania" That meant we only could speak in English. So, at the begining, everybody was shy and quiet, but later started to speak. Even if we chat, we might do it in English... I think is a good practise to improve my speech and listening. The best part of the day (apart of being Friday) is that there was free pizza for everybody, for the CEO's birthday. Well, I think it was an excellent day, and now, I want to continue practising with somebody... Feel free to correct this. I'll aprecciate it. Thank you!

Hi there! Hi everybody! I'm Matías from Argentina. A couple of days ago, someone told me about Italki. I thaught... Let's give a try, why not? I started meeting people and learning a lot. I think this website is amazing! I am studying English for my work, and also for fun. I love it. I know I make mistakes, and if you can correct me, you will help me a lot. I think I don't write so well, but the worst thing is the fact that I can't understand when English natives speak. Listening videos/audios made for students think they're boring, I like to talk on skype to improve my hearing. This is my first post, and don't have so much to say... so... All the corrections are welcome! Thanks! See you!
