    La Primera Vez Mañana estoy yendo a jugar el juego "Dungeons and Dragons" para la primera vez. Mi amigo ha invitado a participar con sus amigos. Siempre he querido a jugar, pero tuve miedo de las cosas la gente dice. Tal vez dicen ¨¡madura de una vez!¨. Soy un adulto y todos en el grupo están adultos también, pero esta bien para nos ser tonto a veces.

    writing part. IELTS ESSAY

    QUESTION: Popular events like the football world cup and other international sporting occasions are essential in easing international tension and releasing patriotic emotions in a safe way.
    ANSWER:
    Each year, there are many international sporting events that represent whole country proud  (represent their country with pride/represent their country's pride/make their whole country proud), like competitions in bicycle bicycling, swimming among many others. However, the most popular and famous sport around the word is the football.  That is why each  every four years, the best teams in this sport face each other. It is immense the influence that the football has over international tension due to a lot of people stopping all activities to watch the matches.
    First of all, from the ancient history, the Olympic Games has  have been an important occasion to resolve problems.  For instance, Greeks and Romans would interrupt battles to be part of the games. Besides, currently the sports have helped so much to easing some differences, thanks to how each day more and more people want to practice and make friends through the sports.
    Secondly, international sporting events offer the community many benefits due to the time off that government and many companies provide when these sports are celebrated.  Also, there are many economic opportunities for other countries because of tourism, and it provides an amazing feeling of pride in the respective country.  to the community many benefits due to government and many companies consider that the days when these sports are celebrated, there are many economic opportunities to other countries know the tourism, and it provokes an amazing feeling of pride in the respective country. For example, the last football world cup helped to Brazilians to forget for a time the current troubles, like corruption, and lack of education, etc. In conclusion, each sport and each game not only represents a new opportunity to improve and show always the best face of countries, it also plays an important role in decreasing international tensions and economic situations.


    Great work Leonardo!  I know I made a lot of corrections, but I understand everything you were writing!  I would focus on the sentence "rewrites" I made in your second point about international sporting events, especially the word "consider".  In the US, we use the word "observe" for holidays.  Maybe this is what you meant?

    If a man is a religious believer, does it mean he is a trustworthy man?

    I just want to figure out the connection between a man's behavior and his belief.
    Does they equal to each other? ("Are the equivalent?")
    Some of my friends tell me that religious beliefs provide an ethical support for living, but are not necessarily a behavior prediction of their daily lives. (a prediction of their behavior in their daily lives)  And, for some people, religion is religion, and real life is real life.
    So, even if a man tells me he is a religious believer, I still should not consider him as a 100% trustworthy man?

     

    Great job Heather!  I corrected the grammar, then added an alternative way that I might say it in spots where it didn't feel natural.

    I wish I could edit the original post.  Now that I read it, it's not at all obvious that was what the shows I listed were.  I apologize to anyone who looks these up and can't figure out how to turn on the Spanish audio track :)

    Yes, sorry!  I was hoping to offer my favorite American shows and others might offer their favorite Spanish shows.

    My sister listens to "Welcome to Night Vale".  I might have to check it out.

     

    This topic made me think of a webcomic: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/christmas_back_home.png


    There's a traditional poem that is used a lot during christmas that goes like this:

    "Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."  (Twas is a contraction of "it was")

     

    The comic refers to when you have moved out on your own, then come back to your family's house and realize that everyone else goes to bed at a "normal" hour (such as 10 pm).

     

    Now, when my wife asks me what I'm doing up so late, I say "Late? It's not even 3am!".  She doesn't think it's as funny as I do.
