Speaking and transcipting 4 I live in an apartment, the bedroom and the living room are together, I have a tiny kitchen, I don't have a balcony where I could sit outside during the summer, when the days are warmer but I like the place, the apartment is located on the second floor of an eight-story building and I like it because it's warm even during the winter. He is very convenient for my school and for restaurants, although it can get noisy at nights and at weekends because I live near to a market. One thing which I don't like is that the apartment is a bit cramped, I mean I lived all my childhood in the countryside so I was used to have all the space that I needed but however I am learning how to deal with it, with having less space. I'm living there since two years ago, I live with my girlfriend and we are not thinking about moving to another place, to rent another apartment. My home is in downtown and there are many restaurants, stores and places to go while at the weekends.

Listening, speaking and transcipting 3 I read the news, secondly, I listened to the audio, then after I recorded on my cellphone and finally I am transcribing what I said. I am trying to know if I'm doing good with my English learning. In this news a read that if you have ever dreamed about running a bookshop you can have a go in a city of Scotland, I don't remember the name. But the idea it's like you can book a holiday in a self-catering flat and to pay this you have to work forty hours in a bookstore downstairs (I have a question here, is it implicitly that the bookstore is under the flat?) because a week in that flat cost almost one hundred fifty pounds and if you work forty hours you will pay it. So it will be good to gain experience and to know how it works and you know if you have a dream of opening a bookstore you could try it first than doing.

Searching for English learners.

I've been using Italki since last year, it really helps me.

But what I'm noticing is that my speaking isn't growing up such my other skills.

So I know that it's harder find out native speakers to chat, so if you aren't a native speaker I think that we can speak to learn together, even making mistakes we will be able to think in English and start to create sentences in our mind.

Let's do it together?  If you are interested, please let me know. I am doing a list of subjects about we could talk about. I would like to improve my English with voice chat on Skype or voice message on WhatsApp.

Speaking and transcipting 2 In the first text we have Aasha, a girl from Pakistan, she says that SAS is doing a better job than RTS because they have clear aims and they are putting their efforts in a realistic way to hit the right target. She thinks that even RTS haven't done the job rightly, they are trying to change something because the environment has become an important issue due to excessive and unjust use of natural resources, people must have to start thinking about environmental problems, because we need to do it not for ourselves, but for the next generation. In the second text, we have Carmem Cucu, another girl, and she thinks almost in the same way as Aasha. She agrees that the environmental problem is an issue that is presented in all the world. In her city she sees a lot of shopping center, she sees a lot of city areas becoming less green. She thinks that SAS is doing a better job than Reclaim the Streets(RTS) too because they have a better way to talk with the government. That is what makes them achieve their goals, like cleaning the water. And the image of protestors wearing wetsuits and gas masks was really impressive and it shocked the world. It reached a lot of people with this image. And RTS was overreacting about some subjects because we have environmental problems, but closing and stoping roads and making parties there is not a real way to solve the problem.

Speaking and transcipting 1 Today I will be trying something different. I read one text, after that, I solve some questions and I tried to answer them not only writing but speaking too. Finally, I transcripted them doing some corrections because I had a lot of pauses among the phrases, so here is the result. After the correction, I will record them again and hear how the audio sounds. The first affirmation is false because the author thinks exactly the opposite, what I mean is the author thinks we don’t have a superhero actually, we don’t have a superman, a hulk, a James bond to solve the problems for us. To save the world, so we have to do it for ourselves, we have to start working in those problems to solve them, we have to stop cutting trees, we have to stop taking out the garbage in the environment. Another false affirmation is that the text is only about Greenpeace, it’s false because the text presents to us, two groups, one is called SAS, which means Surfers Against Sewage, this one has clear aims, they work with the government, his goals are clean the water, to make the beach become safer to the beachgoers. And the other group is Reclaim The Streets, this group is more a disorganized group that an organized one because they don’t have clear aims, they are more radical, one example, they dig up tarmac to plant trees, they organize parties, they serve free food and sometimes the actions end up in violence between protesters and police. So for me, the first group is better than the second and the SAS have already got a deal with the Uk government that in 1998 (Nineteen Ninety Eight) invested 8.5 (Eight point five) billion pounds on clearing up British’s aquatic environment. The last one affirmation false is that the author thinks these organizations are useless, but again, he thinks the opposite, he thinks that nowadays we have the Internet, so we can work together to find solutions to those problems. These organizations are very useful in fact because they help up to achieve our goals by pressing the governments and the authorities who are responsible for the environment and these kinds of control in the increase in pollution. He thinks that these groups are useful, not useless.

Creating sentences 10 Planning a wedding in detail is really important to avoid having troubles. What I love the most about cooking is doing my own sauce blend. Please fill me in about your first day at school. I love sightseeing with my girlfriend. I don't think we will be able to afford the cost of the party, the decoration is way more expensive than I had imagined. Just picture us going out on Friday night for drinking and laughing instead of staying at home and fighting.
