Parece que una de ellas es un detective - El Comisario.  Yo no lo conozco pero quiza sea buena.  En cuanto a mí, te puedo recommendar La Que Se Avecina en esta pagina.  Es una comedia pero a mi me encanta por sus tramas graciosas y personajes muy recordables.  A veces puede ser un poco ridiculo, como todas las comedias.  

En ese sitio, tambien me gusta el programa 21 Dias que es un documental donde la presentadora toma un nuevo trabajo o papel durante 21 dias y cuenta su experiencias e investigaciones.

Espero que te ayude.

You're right about this, Andres.

I've had those meatballs once before and they were not very good at all.  Don't know why people go so crazy for them.  That was years ago though so hopefully they didn't have horsemeat then.  However when it comes to processed food and the entire moden industrial food system, can we truly ever know what the hell we're eating?

Horsemeat scandal or why you should never buy food from a furniture store.

The recent Ikea’s horse meatballs scandal at Ikea has risen brought up many questions about food safety once again. Some people have been watching this food crisis with one eye because they think it really doesn’t really affect them. Just because you have not been “fortunate” to taste those meat products with traces of horsemeat, doesn’t mean that you are free from other possible scenarios where food safety is not ensured guaranteed at all.

Let’s face it. You would never expect to get a good coffee from a coffee machine, and you wouldn’t think fresh tomatoes and oranges can be found in Iceland, so why should we think that a famous furniture chain would become a superb food restaurant?. (this is fine but I would reword it to have the same subject, just you or just we, not you and we)  Why are people eating meatballs in Ikea anyway? Indeed, that doesn’t seem very smart sound very clever. People are not to blame though. The lack of food safety has highlighted once again how unprotected the general public is from some bad food industry practices.

Personally I’ve never tasted eaten Swedish meatballs from Ikea before, not meaning we are free from fraud where we pay for one product and are maliciously given another.

(Again watch the subject agreement, something like below sounds better to me)

Although personally you may not have eaten Swedish meatballs at Ikea before, that doen't mean that you are free from fraud where you pay for one product and are maliciously given another.

Hi, alehia!  Your note is good, just some minor punctuation and capitalization mistakes.  Welcome to italki.

My first time!!

This is the first time that I have been to this page.  I´m new here, and I really want to learn English correctly.
I hope that you can help me and comment on this note, it's small but it´s my first time.
Thanks so much.

Great essay, Andres, and your grammar was almost perfect!  Your trip sounds amazing, I would love to hike through Spain someday too.

Hiking in the North of Spain

It was the end of June. The summer had just started, beaches were crawling with tourists and you could barely breathe because of the season heating. Even though I had amazing plans on in Málaga (aka Sunny Coast) and I was kind of reluctant to leave, my friend dragged me off to explore new worlds lands that summer.

We headed to the north of Spain. Summer temperatures on this region of Spain are lower than other parts but with much more warmth and sunny weather. We spent a whole month over there and even today I still remember every detail of our amazing adventure. We were hiking on a daily basis. We would spend days and days outdoors and ,trekking with food and water reserves. We would camp out for the night and the following morning we would keep continue our route. We had countless walks through outstanding wonderful (I think the word outstanding is only used for something that can be measured - grades, work, effort, etc) nature.

Now and then we would reach the city capital cities and villages where we would taste their amazing and traditional cuisines: seafood, meat, cider…Spectacular food everywhere, in a nutshell. Such good memories. At this point of my live I would love to repeat such this kind of a trip again.

It is commonly said that some people acquire the travel bug. Others are born with it though. For me, it could be 50-50%. Since I was a kid I have always been always fascinated by other countries and cultures. I would draw country flags and colour them and try to remember them. Sometimes I would skip school and take a bus to visit a village in the mountain and spend a sunny day there just breathing fresh air and seeing nature. This “affliction” (if that’s what it is) went into remission for many years but it resurfaced after college with renewed fury.

Since then, I have been travelling as much as I could, and definitely have been hiking in different countries such as Norway, Northern Ireland or Scotland. I plan to have another amazing trip when the time is ripe. Hiking absolutely definetly makes me feel at ease. Even more than the beach and the sea. I have been always thought of myself as a ocean person but I am starting to think that I am actually am more of a freshwater person. Well, since it is not a biological predisposition (is it?) I think I should can consider myself as a combination of both!

Yes, you're right, that's not the right way to say it.  Here are some better ways to say it.  "plot of the" is optional.

The (plot of the) series, House of Cards, deals with politics.

The (plot of the) series, House of Cards, treats with politics.

The (plot of the) series, House of Cards, is about politics.

The (plot of the) series, House of Cards, occurs in the world of politics.

Hey Andres,

Great job on this essay!  I only noticed a few tiny mistakes, marked in red.  In blue is some wording change to make it sound more native.

Australian Open

Tennis is my favourite sport by far. I enjoy it a great deal - both playing and watching tennis. The new season has just started, meaning it’s time for Australian Open. I love Grand Slams (this is off-topic but in America, there's a cheap restaurant called Denny's that serves a huge breakfast called a Grand Slam.  I think for the majority of Americans, since they dont watch tennis, this phrase would mean you love eating at Denny's :).  So I would say "I love watching Grand Slams" to make it clear to Americans) for sure but Australia’s my favourite one. I love the courts, the facilities, the atmosphere and everything related to this tournament. I’ve been hooked on tennis these last two weeks

The time difference is relevant, that’s why I can’t stay up all night to see matches in the internet. I used to do it when I was in college. The next day though, I needed big gulps of coffee and you would find me struggling to keep myself awake in class and trying not to drift off. I crashed out more than once. My fault? Well, every now and then classes were so boring that I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I was an excellent student though: that’s why no teacher ever gave me a piece of his/her mind! Haha.

Most people were would be thinking I was either partying all night long those weeks or overstudying. None of the above! Oh, I just wish that I had those days back!...

Well, let’s go get back to Australian Open. This tournament is held in Melbourne. Players have to face the extreme heat now in on this huge island (close to 40ºC sometimes). When temperatures are soaring, little can be done in order to mitigate this warmth. At this point these competitors are at risk of dehydration in during every match. Iced towels are usually available for players during the tournament and Rod Laver Arena’s stadium features a retractable roof allowing athletes to continue playing at this hot heat. Most of the courts don’t have a closed roof though, meaning all players have to struggle with searing temperatures and stay cool between games. That’s why heat exhaustion is quite frequent on in this tournament. A coulpe of years ago, a female player, Victoria Azarenka fainted on US Open court, exhausted because of heat and dehydration.

Despite the fact that I can’t see my favourite tournament live at night most of times, I do enjoy this Grand Slam tournament. For me it’s been a tradition and every morning I have my “Australian Open breakfast” which consists of a hot tea, blueberries and yoghurt, a toast with honey and cinnnamon and cereals with raisins. I linger over breakast while watching matches’ highlights on YouTube and on Australian Open’s website. I just love the Internet!

Hey Andres,

These cookies look delicious, I wish we had more of these European treats here.

I wrote some style suggesions in blue, just to make it sound better although what you wrote is just fine.  Actual grammatical errors are in red.

------------------

Lebkuchen, a (yummy) German cookie

Lebkuchen is a traditional German baked Christmas treat that somewhat resembles gingerbread. The ingredients usually include honey, aniseed, coriander, cloves, ginger and (writing style: when you do a list with commas, last two items should have an "and" joining them) cardamon, among others.

Every Christmas I grab buy (to me grab sounds too slangy, i would say something like "I'm going to grab something at the store/restaurant", but never write that in writing) my Lebkuchen from a well-known German supermarket chain here in Malaga. Because of the number of resident foreign citizens has risen significantly in the last 30 years, especially of the British and German nationals who move here for the pleasant climate, (writing style: I can't explain the exact orthographic rules for English, but we never use these double hyphens like they have in Spanish.  I think most of the time they should be commas or parenthesis) it is quite easy to find common foreign brands. As a matter of fact, I have recently discovered a lovely American foodstuff shop grocery with all types of non-perishable products.

Well, back to Christmas sweets, even though Spain has a large variety of treats including turrones (innumerable flavours), polvorones or mazapanes, I can’t imagine spending the season without having Lebkuchen.

On 24th, prior to (prior to sounds too formal - legalese) before dinner, I was on my way home when I caught sight of the aforementioned shop. Suddenly Then it dawned on me - “my german cookies!”, I thought, (redundant, dawning on you implies thought) so (writing style: never start sentences with prepositions like so, and, or, but) Quickly I dropped in to get my cookies. I had an inkling suspicion (This word doesnt work by itself.  Has to be "inkling of <something>, ex: inkling of them being gone.) " though. “How could I forget this year?. I hope they aren’t already… no, no.”– I let myself convinced. (not exactly sure what you mean here.  Maybe something like "But I convinced myself it wasn't too late":)

Of course they were sold out. I asked the shop assistant and she informed me they were out of stock. She could see from my face that I wasn’t satisfied with that sort of news and awaited wanted a more positive reply. “Hold on”, she said as she could see when she saw my desperation, "we might have the last of them…let me talk with my supervisor".  Eventually, However the supervisor didn’t bring good news either.

When I confessed my failed purchase to my mum, she laughed:

“Well, don’t act so shocked. It can’t come as a complete surprise. You should’ve gone way before earlier this month. They are have been available since October or so.. I didn’t know you like them so much. If you'd told me I could’ve bought more…”, she said.

“Do you mean…do you still have some?”, I replied hopefully, because my mom is the sort of person that hides all kind of things around the house for no apparent reason.

“I’m afraid I’m not. I got many of them but these holidays I had to make some gifts and…well, people happen to like those cookies. They are quite tasty”.

“Indeed”, I said, as showing a disapproval funny disapproving face.

That’s all. I write this entry so I won’t forget again to buy earlier my favourite treat next time. I even got some recipes from the internet. It seems quite simple actually. When it comes to me though, cooking can be a tasty great (cooking isnt the "tasty" thing, its the thing you cook.  You can say something like: my cooking can turn out something tasty or be a total disaster)" experience or a food chaos disaster.
