- My sister IS nothing like me. My sister DOESN'T look like me. DO these sound THE same? I think you meant to ask: Do these mean the same thing? And no, they can mean different things. My sister is nothing like me could refer to personality as well as looks, whereas the second sentence say that you have the same looks.0 votedNovember 8, 20121
- See if you can set aside fifteen minutes each day to write something. Look up the words that you need, underline them, and then test yourself the next day to see if you can remember them. When you look up a word, have a look at the words around it - for example if you've found "Fish" write down fisherman, fishing line, fishing rod, fishing boat. That way your vocabulary will grow much more quickly.0 votedOctober 28, 20121
psychology
Hello!
I have to write something in order to continue improving my writing. The feedback received is being very helpful and I feel that everyday I'm becoming a little bit better at english my English improves. So, I've decided to talk about a subject that has become became a huge part of my life: psychology. For almost four years I'm I've been a psychology student here in Brazil. In these years I've been through tough moments, it's not an easy course, you have a to do a lot of reading and writing, besides oral presentations. I had also had several disappointments right in at the begginning of the course: the teachers, who were psychologists, were just like the normal teachers that I'd had before. I was expecting people who knew how to motivate students without being aggressive or without using threats. Above all, I was expecting people who cares for about the students, who could understand that we are not machines, that sometimes we feel bad, that we feel pressure that came from all the sides. I did not find even one teacher like this I was expeting, maybe I was expecting too much :D
I've probably made already a lot of mistakes in this text, so I'm stopping for now.
Thanks for reading, thanks in advance for any feedback!Good writing! Your English is fluent, and the mistakes are few and far between - you've explained an abstract concept very well. Good luck with your psychology studies.

It is so pleasureant to sit in an airport and watch arriving airplanes arriving. The weather is fine and I have am in a wonderful mood. Only two things are annoying me. The It is small keyboard in on my telephone is too small and I am hungry. But these worries they are too small to stop me from enjoying the my life. I have liked loved airplanes since I flied flew to the Chzech Republic. I am flying to a country which is only a color spot on the map for me. I have read a lot of information about it one, but that didn't it changed anything. I booked a room in the hotel, but I have not lived stayed in this sort of hotels before. I am a little bit nervous a little bit, but I hope the trip will be pleasureant. Any way the sun is shining and it is enough to have be in a good mood and enjoy a nice flight.
Airplane - this is mostly used in the US - in the UK we say aeroplane
"Changed nothing" isn't wrong, but I think that it sounds better to say "that didn't change anything"
You could also use pleasurable instead of pleasant.
Your English is fluent - and enjoy the holiday!

Someone famous who was born in a town (because his mother went to the hospital there) would be remembered in that town because it was his birthplace. But the town where his family lived would be his hometown - even though he was born in a town five kilometres away.0 votedOctober 24, 20120
