Thanksgiving Day
I have often of heard this American holiday in the past.
I like so much its name so much! **you could also say "very much" or "a lot".
It is important sometimes to remember to say "thanks". **this is good! You can also move "sometimes" to the front and it would still work
I always asked me myself why on this day Americans eat a turkey :)**A better way to phrase this is: I always asked myself why Americans eat turkey on this day.
what else are you going to eat?*In my family we traditionally eat turkey, but also honey baked ham, various breads, many beans cooked different ways, corn and cornbread, and usually many fruit pies for dessert.
what is the traditional dinner?*See above :)
Happy Thanksgiving Day :)0 votedNovember 23, 20171This is an article about an Italian movie called " Perfetti sconosciuti".
Actually at the beginning I was going to write about another movie called "Little Miss Sunshine". It's one of my favourite movies. But I just watched this Italian film and it was good too. So I changed my mind :p
Seven good friends have dinner together in during the eclipse of the moon at night. Three couples and a single man. They play a game where they put everyone's phone on the table and share everyone's new messages and calls. Some of them think it's a test about trust: no secrets, no fear. But as time goes on, more and more secrets are found. Such as cheating, betrayal, sexualities, these secrets change the relationships between the friends and the lovers. By the end of the game, almost everyone has been hurt by the secrets. They all wished they had never played the game. But this movie has a second ending, where they don't play the game. It shows how things would have been had they not played the game. They are happy at the dinner, they drive home, go on with their life, pretend that they're are loyal to love, and continue their lies. Some times the truth is cruel, maybe sometimes people would rather believe lies.
I don't have much emotional experience. When I left my hometown to begin work, I was usually alone. Now I live with my sister and brother. Seven years passed where I didn't have any bf or gf. I also have many secrets in my private life that I don't want anyone else to know. I think everyone has a dark side, or everyone has a part of them that they can not accept. But just be kind, be nice to people around you, try to don't hurt anybody, because we are one of them.
P.S.
About "eclipse of the moon", there is some interesting symbolism in the movie. When the game first begins, they were having a good time, and we can clearly see the moon. When the game gets to the climax, their relationships have broken down, and we can't see the moon, the sky was dark. In the end of the movie, where the game was never played, and the secrets were not found, the moon was restored to it's original state.Hey really good write up! I hope this helps. I did have to alter around a couple sentences, but over all it was very well translated! I could understand everything you were trying to say. The movie sounds interesting, I will have to check it out!

Hello there! I thought my english was normal more or less. But I'd been deeply mistaken. Please correct my text below.
I'd like to tell you about a movie that I saw one day. It was called "A Beautiful Mind" (2001) with Russell Crowe. This story is about the mathematician and insane genius John Nash. This film based on real life events. The main character lived a very long life with his mental illness, but he learned to keep it under control. I was impressed by the movie and thought about it several days in row. I was thinking about the human mind and why horrible things like that happen. However, the story had a happy ending.Hey! Your entry was pretty good, just a few small mistakes. But the important thing is that even with the mistakes I was able to completely understand what you were trying to say. With some of the mistakes I marked, though they were technically correct, they were just worded in a way that a native speaker would never say, so I went ahead and changed them to sound more natural.

Kanstantsin Dunin-Rayetski is often called “the Belorussian Count of Monte Cristo”. He bought the estate in 1829 and built the palace. But his story was interesting before then. Kanstantsin was a patriot. Therefore when Napoleon Bonaparte began his war against the Russian Empire, he joined Napoleon, like other men from the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The fact is that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was a European state situated on lands of present-day Belarus, parts of Ukraine, Poland and Russia, but in 1795 after the Kościuszko Uprising, the territory was partitioned among the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, and Austria in 1795. All territory of present-day Belarus was attached to the Russian Empire. And an aggressive Napoleon was a chance to free the native land from the Russians. Thousands and tens of thousands of men took to arms. The colonel Kanstantsin Dunin-Rayetski took on the leadership of the 19 regiment of dragoons, and participated in the Battle of Borodino, defending the rearward from attacks by Russians when Napoleon’s army step-back. He famously defended the crossing of the Berezina River. Kanstantsin distinguished himself in the Battle of Hamburg in the army of Davout, as "The Iron Marshal". The colonel was Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, the highest French order established by Napoleon Bonaparte. But we know that happened with Napoleon. After war traces of Kanstantsin Dunin-Rayetski were lost for a long time. We don’t know anything about this interesting man, where was he lived, what did he do, absolutely nothing. But in 1829 Kanstantsin come back to his native land, and as you may know, bought the village “Vobryna”. it was said that he found the buried treasure of Napoleon at the Berezina, because the palace was built with great speed and filled with expensive and beautiful European furniture, sculptures and paintings. Whether it´s true or not, the legends about buried treasure of Napoleon very populate in Belarus, and up to now people still search for this treasure.
This story doesn’t end there. Later I can certainly tell it to its end. The Belorussian lands hold many exciting stories.Hey! Good job on this piece. It was an interesting read for me because I am currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo. Thank for the interesting read!

My favorite band
One of my favorite bands is Imagine Dragons. I like them because they play alternative rock. Imagine Dragons sold a lot of albums when they premiered. I think their best CD is Smoke and Mirrors, and I think their best song is Demons.
The keyboard player retired in 2011 and therefore the band hired William Wells. Imagine Dragons has had seventeen awards and it has created seven albums.Very good! Just a few minor mistakes! Hope this helps!
I just realized you may have been talking about sales in your second sentence, and if that is the case it should read like this:
"As a result, their best selling CD is Smoke and Mirrors, and their best selling song is Demons."
0 votedJuly 30, 20160I have been reading The Hobbit recently. This phrase caught my eye and drew my attention.
"Escaping goblins to be caught by wolves!" Bilbo said, and it became a proverb, though we now say "out of the frying pan into the fire" in the same sort of uncomfortable situations.
This proverb has a corresponding Chinese proverb: 才出虎口，又进狼窝 , which literally means "out of the tiger cave into the wolf den."
Do you know some other phrases which have the similar meaning?
Hey there! Just made a few tiny corrections for you!
The one similar phrase I can think of that is used frequently where I am from is "Caught between a rock and a hard place"!

One day last week I was sitting in café (no accent needed) in the market square while my parents were shopping in greengrocer’s (proper noun, should be capitalized). The weather was really awesome so I decided to sit outside. There were a lot of kids, they were playing with each other while I was reading an interesting book about business motivation. Suddenly a rare (this is a strange adjective to describe a person, in english we wouldn’t say this normally) man came to my table and offered me a newspaper, I felt surprised and I said to him that I didn’t want the newspaper. He didn’t say anything more and left the table. Why did happen that? I thought…. A few seconds later, I tried to find my mobile phone but I couldn’t find it. He stole my mobile phone while I was telling him that I didn’t want the newspaper.
Hello! This was really good, only a few minor mistakes! Good job! Sorry about the poor formatting of the correction, but for some reason the correction tools of italki aren't working right now, so I did it in Word and pasted it over.
