La musique, le vin et la vie.
J'aimerais si vous aviez la gentillesse de corriger ce petit text.

La musique, le vin et la vie
Apercevoir des erreurs subtiles lors de l’exécution d’une musique classique, c’est quelque chose d’impossible pour ceux qui ne sont pas habituer au style ou que ne possèdent pas la technique du chant. Par contre, ceux qui maitrise cet art sont capable de capter tous ces décalages. Cela arrive à cause du développement des sens musicaux que l’artiste ou l’amoureux de la musique atteint. En effet, tous les hommes sont, en general, munis du même instrument, l’ouïe ; mais, pas tous ont réussi un tel raffinement.
Il’en va tout de même en ce que concerne la dégustation du vin. La première fois que j’essayais de gouter un vin, je n’ai pu apercevoir que la relation sucré-amer. Ensuite, avec quelques instructions j’ai fait l’effort de commencer à distinguer des autres élément qui, bien sûr, étaient déjà là, mais qui étaient inaccessibles à moi.
Voici la vie : si on ne travaille pas toujours pour perfectionner nos sens, c’est-à-dire, notre humanité, on regarde tout comme indistinct, égal. En contrepartie, si on cultive notre humanité on sera capable de se rendre compte des nos propres décalages aussi que, au-delà de la grossière relation sucré-amer, on pourra reconnaitre la dignité et la singularité de chaque personne.

The art of writing
I'd be really chuffed and grateful if someone corrected this small text.

The art of writing
By now, there can be nobody who does not recognize that the art of writing is falling down quickly whereas the number of writers, if they can be called truly writers, increases faster than ever. This relationship between quantity et quality is well known in economic domain, but nowadays it’s specially manifested in the social media. The point is, beforehand, if we wished the people read what we had written, it was necessary to fight in a ring with many others whose dream was the same. This competition made the fighters better by pressing them to development and improvement in this art of writing: who dares to deny that a well written text boosts the lector and makes the information much more tasty? For the sake of this competition, we could see many good writers whom day by day become more and more rare. How can we overcome this problem?

The imitation exercise
I should be grateful if someone would kindly correct my text!
_______________________________________
One can find everywhere on the internet videos and articles about techniques and advices addressed to foreign language learners who wish to reduce their accent when they are speaking another language. Beyond the correct pronunciation of each word which is surely important for learners in order to be understood, there is another aspect that although is not necessary for the comprehension, many learners desire to achieve: the perfect native accent. Getting native accent means to use the same “song” during speaking, that is, to make the same rhythm and nuances as a native produces in a spontaneous way. If one lives abroad in a complete immersion and makes efforts, he may acquire it. But, is it impossible for these who live in their own countries? I do not think so. My main argument bases on the imitators. They can imitate the personality, the voice, the rhythm et cetera. If the language learner uses the imitator’s techniques, perhaps he should gradually create a new “personality” or adapt his.
Having realised it, I have been working on my accent through this method. For it, first I chose one native person whose personality and lifestyle are near to mines, secondly, I watch videos trying to notice the speech “song” of this person. Then, I transcript the speech and repeat some sentences in an imitation way.
I do not ignore that this exercise is not the most pleasant language practice and it could become a little boring as well as hard, but in my view and by my experience I risk to say that this imitation work is efficient.
