    Mis Herramientas del Trabajo Mis Herramientas del Trabajo En la construcción, trabajo con muchas herramientas. Unas son muy peligrosas, otras tienen mucho peso, y otras son raras vistas. Por ejemplo, una sierra corta la madera como si fuera un simple lápiz. Por lo tanto, debemos notar(/asegurarnos de) que las manos tienen que estar lejos de la sierra. Además de no cruzar los brazos. ¿Sabías que existar una herramienta que atornilla por debajo las tablas de madera de la terraza? No es necesario que gatear para poner los tornillos en la terraza. Muchas cosas raras. ¿Pero, cuesta mucho? Gracias para leer mi artículo.

    Is this a poem? Interesting. I've never heard someone say "yesterday yesterday." One meaning is that this phrase means "the day before yesterday," but it may just mean "yesterday." What do you intend to mean, Josias?

    My Routine of Yesterday Yesterday

    Yesterday yesterday, I [1] was inside of my home in the morning<s>,</s> [2] because I [1] had <s>that to make, my housework it</s> to do my housework [3]. In the evening, I [1] just relaxed with a book<s>,</s> [5] and <s>too,</s> ate popcorn too. [4]

    Corrected result suggested:

    Yesterday yesterday, I was inside of my home in the morning because I had to do my housework. In the evening, I just relaxed with a book and ate popcorn too.

    Correction footnotes:

    [1] The word "I" is always capitalized because it is a proper noun
    [2] Delete the comma because you do not need it. Read https://www.grammarly.com/blog/comma-before-because/ for an explaination.
    [3] This is an edit to the sentence because I think you mean you were inside your home in order to do housework. Your original sentence was awkward and hard to understand.
    [4] It sounds better to say "I ate popcorn too" instead of "and, too, ate popcorn." An alternative is to write "and also ate popcorn."
    [5] Please delete the comma before the "and" here. You should do that because "ate popcorn too" is a dependent clause and that phrase cannot stand as its own complete sentence. Reference: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/comma-before-and/

    Tradução de uma Canção do Inglês Para o Português (Flying) Inglês abaixo Voando… Pela primeira vez, estou voando! É o que eu sempre sonhei... Liberdade… O que eu sempre desejei Agora, eu realmente tenho ela... Em voo… Uma larva eu sou no florescer Subindo como uma bonita Flutterby, bem alto Lá no céu… Agora sou uma águia No alto dos Céus Posso voar para sempre e sempre e mais um dia Longe, longe… Voando… Finalmente estou voando… Sim, estou voando. English: Music & Lyrics by Victor N. Hafichuk Flying… For the first time I am flying! It’s what I’ve always dreamed of… Freedom… What I’ve always longed for! Now I really have it… Airborne… A worm I am in blossom! Mounting like a pretty Flutterby, away up high Up in the sky… I am now an eagle In the heights of Heaven I can soar forever and ever and a day Away, away… Flying… Finally I’m flying… Yes, I am flying. (Song repeats after a solo instrumental)

    Could you please correct me?

    George and Lana will supply me with the new images <s>on monday</s> Monday, [1] but,<s> anyway</s>, [2] <s>today I will try to send you the test version of the video from the images I had </s> I will try to send you the test version of the images' video today. [3]

    Please can you help me to make this sound more natural?

    Suggested result:

    George and Lana will supply me with the new images Monday, but I will try to send you the test version of the images' video today.


    Correction notes:

    [1]: Monday is capitalized. Also, we add a comma before "but" because the sentence "George and Lana will supply me with the new images on Monday" is complete. Also, "on Monday" can just be shortened to "Monday."
    [2]: Commas added because of how "anyway" sounds like an interjection to me. "Hey, I want to, but, anyway, I gotta go. It's more important." You should just delete "anyway" as well. It sounds more professional to just delete the word so that you will not worry about the commas.
    [3]: I use this sentence because it sounds smoother. Some explanations: "The images I had." In this, "I had" is deleted because, I wonder, how else could he send such a video if he did not have the images? "of the video from the images" I take this to mean "The images' video," which means "The video associated with these images." "The images' video" is natural sounding. "Today" is placed at the end of the sentence so that it sounds smooth, too.

    today I will try to send you a test version of the images' video.

    Tradução de uma Canção do Inglês Para o Português (Do or Die) Inglês abaixo Fazer ou Morrer por Victor Hafichuk Em dezembro de 2010, veio uma chamada para dar a vida por outra. Não havia mais ninguém para fazer isso, e não importava; o dever e compromisso eram só nossos, designados por Deus. Parecia que a vida desta pessoa estava em jogo. Ele era suspeito e acusado, condenado e caçado alegados crimes horríveis em seu país distante, Guatemala, e há muitos anos. Na minha contemplação destes assuntos, percebendo que poderíamos perder tudo, uma melodia veio até mim no meio da noite de 30/31 de janeiro de 2011, seguido por estas palavras (Infelizmente, não me lembro da melodia). Por acaso, eu tinha um gravador ao lado da minha cama, que eu nunca tinha disponível para nenhuma outra música anteriormente. Eu havia esquecido essa música ao longo dos anos, mas consegui recuperá-la no gravador em maio de 2016. 1) Chega um momento em que é fazer ou morrer, Para suportar na verdade ou dizer a mentira; Deixar de lado o seu sorvete e torta. O tempo chegou para fazer ou morrer... (REPETIÇÃO) 2) Eles não saberão se vão rir ou chorar; Insistindo que a verdade nunca vai voar; Eles vão revirar seus olhos e suspirar, Sem saber se devem rir ou chorar... (REPETIÇÃO) (REFRÃO - Versículo 1) Chega um momento em que é fazer ou morrer, Para suportar na verdade ou dizer a mentira; Deixar de lado o seu sorvete e torta. O tempo chegou para fazer ou morrer... (REPETIÇÃO) 3) Nós nunca devemos nos envergonhar de dizer a verdade, Mesmo que os joelhos se batam ou e a boca fique seca, "Você precisa desistir!" os espectadores irão clamar. Qual você vai fazer agora? - dizer a verdade ou a mentira...(REPETIÇÃO) 4) Apenas com sangue a verdade vai ser compartilhada, A verdade chega à forca para que outros sejam poupados, Nós vivemos porque Um outro tem se importado, Para falar a verdade, devemos estar preparados...(REPETIÇÃO) (REFRÃO) 5) Um dia toda a verdade virá à luz Nada estará escondido da vista de qualquer homem, Será que vamos ter feito o certo ou errado? Será que nossos dias à frente serão sombrios ou claros...(REPETIÇÃO) REFRÃO English: See https://www.victorhafichuk.com/recordings/do-or-die/ or https://www.diffchecker.com/4q1NlZQ7 for English

    Why are the sea otter populations declining?

    The professor disagreed [1] with the hypothesis that the environmental pollution is the cause of the sea otter populations decline.
    First, she talked about the idea that the increased levels of industrial chemicals <s>is</s> are [9]decreasing the otters resistance to life-threatening infections and thus could be indirectly causing the deaths. The professor pointed out [2] that as the deaths can be explained by this idea, [3] <s>it</s> they [10]can also be explained by predatory activity.
    After that, <s>she clarified why the orcas can be hunting small animals</s> [11]. Orcas usually hunt big animals, but because of <s>the</s> [4] human activity, the population of its prey have declined. Then, orcas have to start hunting smaller animals.
    In the end of the lecture, she pointed out [2] why the uneven pattern of this decline can be also explained by <s>the</s> [5] predatory activity. Orcas are large animals. Because of <s>it</s> this, [6] they are not able to fit in some places. By the way, the places where the otter populations are not declining are the same where orcas <s>can</s> do [7] not have space for being in. [8]

    ---

    Notes for why the correction is placed are below:

    [1] Past tense of the verb is required because the paragraph after this sentence is in the past tense.
    [2] "To point out" is the verb needed here. English speakers don't say, "She pointed that this is the case [that this is what's happening]." However, in "She pointed that this is the case," this sentence could be used to say that a woman is pointing to a container. "To point" means in this scenario: "[INTRANSITIVE] to show a particular direction or place, usually using a sign or symbol" -- https://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/american/point_2
    [3] Comma added so that it's clear the start of the sentence is introducing the reader to another possible cause of the decline.
    [4] It's only "human activity" and not "the human activity" because "the human activity" isn't used. I don't hear English speakers say "the human activity."
    [5] Similar reason to [4]. Without "the", "predatory activity" is understood to mean the activity of predators in some unspecified area. However, unlike [4], "the predatory activity of [some animal] is..." is a sentence that could be used.
    [6] "Because of it" doesn't sound right. It should be "Because of this/that" because English speakers don't usually say "because of it." I don't have a good reason why this is the case.
    [7] More natural to say "do" there instead of "can." However, you may also like to replace the sentence's end with, "... are the same where orcas are unable to live in."
    [8] The added word, "in" is to make the sentence sound right. Still, "being" by itself would work. It's an uncommon word choice, I think.
    [9] Use "are" because the verb is associated with the plural noun "levels of..."
    [10] "They" is used because we are referring to "deaths", a plural.
    [11] Consider replacing this deleted part with "she stated her case that orcas may be hunting otters."

    Tradução de uma Canção do Inglês Para o Português (TIAP) Inglês abaixo Há um Lugar Música e Letra de Victor N. Hafichuk Há um lugar não distante Um lugar para o qual os santos anseiam e rezam E quando eles vão, eles estão lá para ficar... Há pouco aqui que podemos trazer, Não há dúvida de que a morte tem sua picada Mas o que nos espera vai nos fazer cantar Temos que desistir dos conhecidos e amigos Ele vai enxugar todas as nossas lágrimas Em Cristo, sabemos que não precisamos temer ... Adeus ao que foi antes Olá para o que está reservado Nós cruzamos o mar para uma costa gloriosa ... Há um lugar não distante Um lugar para o qual os santos anseiam e rezam E quando eles vão, eles estão lá para ficar... Repete o último verso cantarolando. English: There Is a Place Music & Lyrics by Victor N. Hafichuk There is a place not far away, A place for which saints long and pray, And when they go, they’re there to stay… There’s little here that we can bring, There is no doubt death has its sting, But what awaits will make us sing… We must let go of near and dear, He’ll wipe away our every tear, In Christ we know we needn’t fear… Good-bye to what has been before, He-llo to what is held in store, We cross the sea to a glorious shore… There is a place not far away, A place for which saints long and pray, And when they go, they’re there to stay. Repeat last verse by humming.

    Tradução de uma Canção do Inglês Para o Português (TT) Inglês abaixo Tomada Dois Música e Letra de Victor N. Hafichuk Eu posso estar errado, mas acho que vou ser forte Cantando uma música enquanto Ele me leva até o fim. Como pode ser que eu ainda possa ver Outra vida ... chegando para mim? Eu vivi setenta anos, só para começar de novo, E o que agora será não é… o que foi então. REFRÃO Tomada dois - aí vem o amanhecer Tomada dois - a noite finalmente se foi Ultrapassar - esta é… minha nova música Isso é… isso é… a minha Tomada Dois…. Maravilha das maravilhas, quem sabia? Eu não vi isso chegando Eu não vi isso chegando, mas Ele sabia. De trapos de contendas à alegria dos novos anos Eu me emociono com a perspectiva diante de mim. O som da música toca nos meus ouvidos Dizendo que sou forte e livre ... tão livre. REFRÃO Tomada dois ... o passado está morto e enterrado Você estava certo ... e eu estava errado Você estava lá ... o tempo todo Eu acho que é também a Sua nova música, meu Amigo. Eu posso estar errado, mas acho que vou ser forte Cantando uma música enquanto Ele me leva até o fim. Até o fim… até o fim… o fim. Take Two Music & Lyrics by Victor N. Hafichuk I could be wrong, but I think I’ll be strong, Singing a song as He takes me along to the end. How can it be that I can still see Another life… arriving for me? I’ve lived threescore and ten, just to start it again, And what will now be is not… what was then. CHORUS: Take two – here comes the dawn Take two – the night is finally gone Break through – this is… my new song This is… this is… my Take Two…. Wonder of wonders, who knew? I didn’t see this coming I didn’t see it coming, but He knew. From rags of strife to the joy of new years I thrill at the prospect before me. The sound of music rings in my ears Telling me I’m strong and free… so free. CHORUS: Take Two… the past is dead and gone You were right… and I was wrong You were there… all along I think it’s also Your new song, my Friend. I could be wrong, but I think I’ll be strong Singing a song as He takes me along to the end… To the end… to the end… the end.
