Nightmare

Yesterday I had a nightmare. A long time ago I didn't have nightmares. well This nightmare consisted of this: I was in my house cleaning my room and I was preparing my bed. When it was ready, the bed suddenly unmade itself, throwing the blankets throughout the room. Strangely, I was not surprised so I prepared my bed again. I picked up a pair of shoes wich were not mine and I took them to another room. When I came back there was a dog in my bed. It was my sister's dog, a shitzu. Suddenly it started to move its head from side to side very quickly and it stood on two legs at itself and it kept moving its head. Its face turned into the face of the girl from the movie "The Exorcist" and it started screaming. When the face shouted I fell back and I woke up at 3. Lately I have dreamed other things but that dream was not nice.

Thanks for your corrections.

Good work. Sounds like a very scary nightmare! A few pointers:

Many of your sentences are run on sentences. Try keeping your sentences shorter. One or two thoughts per sentence is good.

<em>to fall</em> and <em>to wake up</em> have irregular conjugations in the past tense.

Does the internet connect or isolate people?

Recently, I have been writing essays in English on this theme. It seems interesting to me. Mostly, I hadn't thought a lot about it and the answer was, "Of course, it connects!". (See below) But now I'm not so sure as I was before. On the one hand, the internet can help you make connections with people of all over the world by your interests, and to keep in touch with friends, who went abroad. On the other hand, the internet can isolate people because nowadays many people prefer to communicate by the social networks instead of meeting in reality. What do you think about it?

Your third sentence is a little awkward. I would rephrase it:

Before giving this question much though I would've answered, "Of course, it connects people!"

When we're talking about the internet as a general concept, we must use the article <em>the</em>. When we're talking about a connection to the internet in a specific location, we don't use the article. Example: "Do you have internet on your phone?"

Otherwise, good work! And I agree. I think the internet is a great tool for connecting people, but many people become dependent on the internet as their only means of making connections. It's important not to lose touch with the real world!

First notebook entry: Introducing myself

I am learning English,because I want to study abroad, work in Great Britain and make friends from London and Oxford. My native language is Uzbek,and I grew up in Uzbekistan. I enjoy playing football, reading books and I like to conversing with people from different countries.

Hello, Yuldash. Welcome to italki!

In English, we should always put a space after commas (,) and periods (.) because it looks very strange to native speakers if we don't do this! I know that not writing a space after these symbols is very common in Russian and probably also in Uzbek, but it's not something we do in English.

Correct please my answer to the other party

Hi. I'm glad that you've decided to talk with me, but my English level is very low. I can't talk with you using voice. Now I should fill my vocabulary. I write a short texts in English in Notebook on this site and small message to my friends. I memorizes the pronunciation on site www.translate.google.com. I think that in a month I'll be able to speak with you using voice . I'll be glad to correct your letters to me in Russian. Now I will add your contact to my Skype.

Hi Stredos! I commend you for what your doing :) However, I really think that the only way to get better at speaking is to speak. It will be very difficult at first, but the sooner you get started the sooner you can get past this point! If you have people willing to speak with you now, I would do it :)

the New Year's Eve dinner

Every Foreign friends, do you know that tomorrow is the Spring Festival? Best wishes for a prosperous new year! Give me my red envelope! Haha…I want to show you some pictures to share my happiness.

The picture above is my family’s hearty dinner. You can see there are various kinds of meat. Don’t they looks very delicious? When all family members get together to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner, it is the most happiest thing. I love my family. What a fantastic day!

Wow! What a delicious feast!

Be careful not to put a space before periods, question marks, commas, or exclamation points.

What ? >> What?

happiest thing . >> happiest thing.

This is a very common mistake with Japanese and Chinese speakers due to how we write kanji and hanzi on the computer. However, in English it looks strange when we do this. Even if your writing is 100% grammatical, this will be a dead giveaway to some people that it was written by a foreigner. A small mistake, yes, but one that's easy to fix and can drastically change how native speakers perceive your written work :)

birthday~

Hmmmmm..... what to say??????
Tomorrow is my brithday, but I'm not happy at all :(.I feel ashamed and cheerless :( because one year has passed in my life and I didn't do anything special in this year ;(. What do you prefer I do next year? Something that is handy for humanity OR my beautiful religion ISLAM^.^? but I'm so young, the only things that I can do are just read books, go to school and learn English I think :-.
I've mixed everything I'm sorry!!I'm a bit nervous and busy!

Thanks.

I hope this next year will bring you lots of happiness and fulfillment!
