My first day on italki

So, I was googling, and I found this amazing website with a great design, and I said, "yes this is the website to improve my English."

I'm here people, lets talk I'm a friendly buddy :D

<em>Welcome! I understood your note and your English is very good. Just remember that in English, "I" is always capitalized.</em>

Preparing for the TOEFL test

I just registered to present take the TOEFL test in just one week. For those of you who don't know it, it's an international test that measures your proficency in English. The reason I must do it that fast take it so soon is because I wish to apply for a masters programme/program that starts next year, which means I must do all the paperwork this summer.

And so begins the task of getting ready for the test. I plan to study intensely this week so I can get a high enough score.

I plan to make diary entries everyday, since there is, naturally, a section that evaluates your writing. I'm also going to read a lot, speak, watch movies, talk to myself, think; pretty much do everything I can in English.

How I'll do is something I'm not sure of, but at least I'm going to try the best I can.

<em>I've known many international students in American master's programs that aren't able to write in English as well as this.  So you're aware of the difference, "program" is the American spelling of the word.  Good job, and good luck.  </em>

finished holidays My Holidays Are Over

Hi. Today had finished my holidays my holidays ended. I had been in Mojacar (Almeria). It´s very hot in Mojacar there but there´s a nearly beach to me near my home, and I also had a big pool in my apartment. I visited many places, like Taberna´s desert with his that has a theme park about the wild west. I had tested ate Mexican cuisine, and tried the with his tacos and quesadillas that certainly are were deliciously spicy. Well for Today I´m in my home, in Sevilla, replenishing my energy together to with my Air-conditioner.

Bye

<em>Good job.  It's not very common to begin a letter with "Hi" so I would suggest using "Hello" instead. "Hi" is more common when you are greeting someone in person.  </em>

Sunburn

Last week an ex-coworker called me to tell me some good news and also to ask about how things were going. And While talking about heat, fire and so on, she mentioned a well-known place in on the village's mountain. I was surprised to hear she had never been there. As a result I took advantage of the situation and suggested going on Sunday. Suddenly, on both sides of the phone there was a kind of excitement suppressed suppresed excitement. In fact, I was dying to go hiking. It was had been a long time since the last time I hiked and I did and really did missed it.

Although summer is the worst period time/season to do an excursion I couldn't let miss the opportunity to get away. At 7 a.m. we started walking and the first steps were bearable. While we were walking we talked about past and current events. But we need It was going to take more than three hours to get the summit.

Luckily, there was some shadow from a big bush and we sat down to have breakfast. A slightly light breeze was blowing and we were over the moon seeing an looking at the amazing views.

In a full sun we went down and the descent took us at around two hours and a half. Under a full sun, the descent took around two and a half hours. Despite the fact that i put a sun protection before leaving home it The sunblock/sunscreen that I put on before I left home wasn't enough. I should have taken the bottle of sun protection brought the bottle (of sunblock/sunscreen) with me.

and even have dressed more covered as I am many freckles in my skin and the sun may cause some damage. I have many freckles on my skin so to avoid damage, I should have worn clothes that covered my skin.

At night I couldn't sleep well as a result of getting a sunburn. In the middle of the night I had to go get out of the bed to moisturize my skin, trying to relieve a little some of the discomfort.

Monday morning I got woke up tired, and also had to have more coffe than usual. In the following days, the things were getting better and better. Eventually In the end, I do not regret it.

<em>Great job! Overall, your story was very clear and also interesting to read. When you say "sun protection" readers will know what you mean, but people typically call it </em>sunblock or sunscreen - in the US at least.
