    As an English speaker I would rarely say: "it occurred to me". I would say "I realized" or "I had an idea" En español existen estas alternativas también : "me di cuenta" y "tenía un idea"

    Proverbs usually convey some sort of wisdom. Sayings are just things that people say... They may be wise or may be completely silly and make no sense!

    La lección tercera con Juana

    Esta tarde Juana y yo hablamos otra vez. Los sujetos temas fueron: de La Navidad, nuestras vidas, los niños de Juana, y, en al termino final, de Donald Trump. Que divertido! A mi me gusta a conocer los pensamientos de mi país de otro país sobre mi país. Creo que me da una ventana de a los ojos de otras personas, países y culturas. La gente de Los Estados Unidos piensa que todo el mundo nos encanta pero no es la verdad. Si habláramos a la gente afuera de nuestro país, conoceríamos mas y, tal vez, podríamos cambiar los sentimientos a algo positivo. Italki es una manera en cual que esto pueda pasar. Tenga buen fin de semana a todos!

     

    Bien hecho. Clarifiqué unas cosas que querías decir. Con todas mis correciones digo que soy Americano, asi que puede haber un error en el espanol, pero ya que sé hablar inglés se lo que querias decir en inglés!

    Knowing the meanning of new words

    New words:
    beard, landmarks.
    He beard (I don't know what you are saying here. Beard is a noun, and you used it as a verb) to your nephew to run.
    He has a small beard.
    The beard of my friend is small.
    Landmarks are very important for people
    The landmark of city is the San Francisco church.
    Excuse me. May you say Please tell me , What is the difference between hurry and rush and riddle and guess. ( I guess this is a question)

     

    Hurry and rush are similar and are interchangeable. They can be both nouns and verbs.

     

    A riddle is generally a question or a puzzle, something that requires thinking to figure out. A guess can be an attempt to answer a riddle. EX: He thought about the riddle of the Sphynx for a long time...and finally gave a guess.

     

    There are some other meanings with riddle and guess, but I won't go into those to keep things simple.

    Should students work while in University?

    Many students, when they go college, see the campus as the place they go to attend a class, pass the exams, graduate and then get a well paid job. By looking at this perspective they can let a lot of incredible opportunities that they would only experience there pass them by. Because they don't see value in others things besides the a diploma, they decide to ocupy their free time by working to pay the fees, instead of getting a loan.

    Life on the University Campus can be really rich if you let yourself enjoy all of it can provide. Since there are many kinds of programs, you can always attend a intro class that is not related with your field of study, and learn something completly new. Also, if you are a sports person (or athletic) you can always play and compete for your University. That are plenty of discussions groups about all kinds of subjects, music teams, and un-official classes provided by the students themselves, that you can attend, in order to learn something different, or you can teach. But if you really enjoy the accademic part, you can start your own research project, and publish articles while being a graduate student.

    The problem is that if you spend your whole day attending classes, studying, or doing something else at the university, you don't have time to work and pay the expensive university fees. And many students don't want to end up with a big debt. But I believe that you should absolutely take a loan, and pay for that it after you finish your studies, otherwise your experience won't be complete.

    If you don't want to be completely broke during your studies, you can always do something at the University to make some money, Like working in a library, or at the cafeteria, making doing paid researches, teaching something that you are good at, like a language or a subject that in which you really exceled. This will force you to stay even more longer at the campus, and make your college experience more complete.

    This experience is only incredible because the people are as well. University students, profesors and employees, are very interesting people, and they are usually very different from each other, and even from yourself. They come from different places and have a unique background, so letting yourself getting to know these people it will make is worth your time worth.

    Exchanging your ideas about something, with someone that not only has a different opinion, but also has a lot of information that you don't, can be very open minded mind-opening or liberating, and you shouldn't miss that because of money.

    Violent television programmes make people more violent

    Although some people may disagree with me I think the kind of programme that you usually watch on TV might influence your personality.

    In my personal experience I've known some people who used to watch war films and they had bad-tempers the most of time. So,I guess that the more violent programmes you watch,the crankier you'll be.
    On the other hand I've read that people who like documentaries about the nature or animals are able to be relax and be quiet in whatever kind of situation.
    Another similar case could be for instance (you don't really need the "for instance" in this sentence) videogames.I remember when I was a teenager and I used to play games such as Tekken, Street Fighter..for too many hours every day. and I couldn't help playing although even when my mother called me to have lunch or when my friends wanted me to go out. As a result,I argued with whomever that interrupted me,so,my mother told me that she was going to break my playstation and that she wouldn't have bought it if she'd would have known that my behaviour would change.

    To sum up,I'd like to say that I guess not only watching violent programmes you'll change your personality,this is just an addition (do you mean addiction?).

     

    Good job! I loved playing Tekken, Street Fighter (Blanka and Chun-Li were awesome), and Soul Calibur. I do think video games can become an addiction, especially for children and teenagers. My friend is having to deal with that with his son.

    CV Updating

    Hi Guys!

    I´m just updating mi CV and I want to include my current job in it.

    I think it is "understandable" but I would like it to sound natural :D

    I really appreciate your help,

    this is the info:

    • Creation and management of Super Premium segment communications (creation of communications sounds strange)
    • Creation and updating of product benchmarks
    • Event management 
    • Support to the Spanish Product Department (what did you do?)
    • Analysis of Projects and campaigns

    Thanks in advance!

     

    I think it is hard to add or change this without a reference or more information. And as I work in business I am wondering as to what you actually did. I would provide more details and more action words, but don't make it long. for example:

    Established and monitored product benchmarks which improved production quality

    It is referring to the desire for people to find a purpose and reason for everything that happens to them. And many of those that think that way find the purpose to be a positive one.
