- Hi!Wow, you’re learning four languages at the moment? I’m currently studying three languages: American Sign Language, Basque and Spanish!My corrections are below in red.As far as my summer plans are concerned <s>considered</s>, my goal is to improve my English language skills <s>knowledge</s> in these next three months. <s>What I find</s> Now, the most important thing <s>significant</s> <s>for me now</s> is preparing for the CAE exam. <s>that</s> I'm hoping<s style="color: red;"> </s><s>intended</s> to take (and pass, hopefully) it at the end of this autumn. This will be a real <s>It's an outstanding</s> challenge for me because I never have taken any exams that test <s>define </s>your language level. <s>Furthermore,</s> I’m also <s>I </s>learning <s>another </s>three other languages: Czech, German and Swedish. There is room for improvement in my knowledge of these languages too. I don't have a natural talent for language learning but I'm very enthusiastic about it. For me, it is not only studying but also a hobby. I have a thirst for knowledge and it's quite difficult for me to do nothing at all and be lazy for a long time. You wouldn’t <s>won't </s>believe it but I also <s>despite all of this I'm</s> am going to rest and unwind <s>too</s>! It's pleasant to enjoy sunny days <s>rays</s> and spending time in <s>on impeccable</s> nature. Nothing can compare with the beauty of summer. It is a unique opportunity to slow down and put aside all mundane activities in order to let yourself wonder <s>ponder</s> about everything that makes you happy.0 votedJune 10, 20201
- Hi from the States!Great job! My corrections are below in red. I wholeheartedly agree that it’s time to end gender inequality in the workplace!In general, women don’t <s style="color: black;">she doesn’t</s> make anywhere near enough money as men because men always earn more. <s style="color: black;">The</s> Women have been badly-paid <s style="color: black;">since</s> for <s style="color: black;">the</s> decades <s style="color: black;">past</s>. Women not only <s style="color: black;">Besides she</s> work<s style="color: black;">s</s> full-time with stressful jobs, but they also work <s style="color: black;">with </s>double <s style="color: black;">working</s> the hours. In addition to the salary inequality, women experience difficulty getting maternity leave and sometimes experience sexual harassment in the workplace. By law, women shouldn’t <s style="color: black;">mustn’t </s>earn less<s style="color: black;"> by law</s>, but this always happens. Women don’t have enough protections <s style="color: black;">She hasn’t had enough conditions for arrive </s>in the job market <s style="color: black;">prepared</s>. <s style="color: black;">To tell you the truth,</s> These <s style="color: black;">there</s> are the challenges that women face in the job market. <s style="color: black;">In other words,</s> We need to demand the same rights of men, because we need to offer women better, more equal working conditions <s style="color: black;">of the job to women</s>. We haven’t won <s style="color: black;">this past</s> yet, but it’s a work in progress. We need to be a <s style="color: black;">look like</s> <s style="color: black;">with</s> just society.0 votedJune 5, 20200
- Hello from the states!My corrections are below in red.When we talk about summer, I<s style="color: black;">'m</s> always think<s style="color: black;">ing</s> about <s style="color: black;">much</s> free time<s style="color: black;">, that</s> because I usually have <s style="color: black;">in</s> free time during this time of year <s style="color: black;">season</s>. I love studying, but sometimes I'm really excited about cutting out some time for <s style="color: black;">yourself</s> myself. I like embroidering and cross-stitching. But sometimes I find it <s style="color: black;">it's</s> quite difficult to squeeze my hobbies into the little free time I have at nights after my university classes <s style="color: black;">at my university</s>. But at the same time, I love to stay awake in the summer until 4 or 5 am, and then sleep until the afternoon. <s style="color: black;">The </s>One thing more I love about summer is the flowers and berries. Peonies, phloxes and lilacs are my favourite flowers. I wish I had found a five-petaled flower <s style="color: black;">with five petals</s> this summer, but unfortunately, I <s style="color: black;">hadn't</s><s style="color: red;"> </s>didn’t. Some days it was raining so heavily <s style="color: black;">those days</s> that I could <s style="color: black;">can</s> hardly get <s style="color: black;">go</s> out of my house.I'm looking forward to July and August when I will be able to pick delicious berries as well as black and red currants, gooseberries and wild strawberries. Also, there are three apple trees growing in my garden, so I know I’m going <s style="color: black;">intend </s>to enjoy savoury green apples in July too.I think <s style="color: black;">probably </s>some people might <s style="color: black;">will </s>find it strange, but I'm a big fan of winter. <s style="color: black;">Anyway,</s> This doesn't mean that I can't stand summer, but I hate feeling awful in the dog days of summer when it's boiling hot. As a result, I can't do anything but beat the heat while lying in <s style="color: black;">a</s> bed and drinking a lot of <s style="color: black;">much </s>water. But sometimes I don't mind soaking up some sun and catching some rays. As far as other activities concerned, I like walking in the fresh air, watching butterflies, making out stars in the sky at night. I'm sure it would be a pleasure to kick back and goof around when nothing else bothers you.0 votedJune 4, 20201
- Hello from the States!My corrections are in red below. Remember, when in doubt, short sentences are better. I know it’s easy to write long-winded sentences in the moment! But when you are done writing, make sure to go back and reread what you wrote.Most of people think about <s>to</s> travel at least once. Traveling evokes feelings of many emotions by meeting other people, and tasting new flavors. Some people think that those feelings came from our ancestors, because <s>which at</s> in the beginning, they traveled from <s>a</s> one place to another <s>other one</s>, <s>when they were</s> making them nomads. They were always <s>were founding up</s> <s>and </s>discovering new lands.<s> hunting and feeling emotions,</s> Nowadays, <s>currently the</s> people <s>have been growing in the</s> remain in the same environment<s>s</s> and <s>step by step</s> they <s>are </s> get used to staying in the same place doing whatever they do. <s>although you’re growing</s> You have the chance to <s>get your baggage and get</s> travel either when you're studying or when you’re working. No matter how old you are you have the option to travel. <s>although</s> Sometimes when you travel you could fall in love <s>of that</s> with that new country. <s>and </s> <s>maybe you</s> You might even decide to remain there and start a new live <s>with a new</s> <s>and</s> filled with new, exciting <s>mores</s> possibilities.<s>However </s>For some people, staying in their own countries is not an option<s>s</s>. For example, countries which are in war. In this case, moving to another <s>other</s> country is a way to stay alive. It also gives families a better future <s>to</s> for their children. <s>ironically </s>This <s>looks like</s> is the opposite of what our own ancestors did because they <s>changed from</s> went from nomadic to sedentary and now we are going back to <s>that</s> before <s>was</s>.For about two years, I have been planning <s>around 2 years</s> to travel to Japan or another <s>other</s> country. On <s>the</s> one hand, I like the Asian culture, on the other hand I don't speak Japanese. Even though I would like to travel there, sometime I think it wouldn’t be a great <s>greadfull option</s> idea because I wouldn’t be able interact as much as I like. But there are a lot of alternatives. <s>to my travel</s> For example, Australia could be a nice choice with its amazing <s>whose </s>wildlife and beautiful beaches. <s>are amazing that</s> <s>could be a nice choice</s> New Zealand also <s>whose</s> has wonderful landscapes, lakes, beaches, and mountains. It has everything in both of them.<s style="color: red;"> </s><s>the</s> English is the <s>a</s> native language and I could apply my knowledge <s>I'm getting and I would</s> and practice more. <s>indeed</s> I have never been in a country where their citizens don’t speak Spanish but I want to get that experience.0 votedMay 31, 20201
- Hi from the States! 😊Great job! My corrections are below in red.For me, American Fast food <s>just</s> meant something delicious, but forbidden <s>banned</s> <s>from eating</s> in my childhood. It was not until I left my hometown, a small, country town in <s>to </s>Beijing, for my college, that I began to feel a special connection with fast food.Beijing is a super crowded and noisy, modern city with shining, glass surface skyscrapers' <s>glass surface shining</s>. Everything<s>'s</s> <s>changing</s> changes so fast here that what you see now can be totally different one week later. Also, the city is filled with <s>there are</s> <s>so many</s> talented people all who intensely compete <s>competing</s> for scholarships and jobs. I used to think I was the greatest girl in the world <s>while </s>until I realized I was not "special" at all at that moment. I was depressed for nearly one year.Food can be quite expensive in Beijing. Actually, everything is expensive there. The McDonald's near my campus is probably <s>maybe</s> the cheapest place to go and eat. <s>and feed myself.</s> Each McDonald’s meal costs me no more than $2. The McMuffins and cheese hamburgers are my favorite things to eat there.What makes a fast food store special? <s>Why I feel special about fast food store is that</s> Every time I walk in, I’m struck by the safe, familiar, and friendly atmosphere. Outside the store, the world can be so cruel and harsh. I find myself needing to remember to keep strong to deal with the endless difficulties that lay beyond the comfort of the store. The yellow light inside the store, the smell<s>ing</s> of chips and the clerk’s greeting make me feel at ease <s>relax,</s> giving me a break from my pressure and loneliness. I can just enjoy the food, and enjoy the moment. Sometimes, I go to get fast food with my friends. We try something new on the menu, share our food, gossip, and laugh.<s>In a word</s>, As you can see, fast food <s>store</s> means much more than food to me. There are lots of memories. <s>there.</s>0 votedMay 30, 20200
- Hi, Yes,you can definitely say it! Your sentence is good! I agree with the first poster - it does have a more formal tone - which is fine! Another more informal way to express to same idea would be something like "If you want to learn some English, you might want to think about attending this class." Hope this helps!0 votedMay 28, 20200
