Random meets

I find it quite interesting how guys tend to be on social media apps like wechat, whatsapp etc. and other random chat websites, like omegle for example, more than girls when in reality the number of guys is a bout 4 times less. I personally like talking to strangers because it shows me what the world is really like. Racism, sexuality, bullying and stuff were new things to me when I first tried omegle 3 years ago. I'm a lot more grown up now and I realise there's nothing to do about it because it takes years to change ones thoughts and attitude.

 

True that!

Most of your trouble was with what would be "natural" English, so you're doing really well! It will come with time :)

My Second Day

Today was the second day I logged onto this website and wrote down my second article.
Before entering the university, I though study was our sole mission. Now, as a sophomore, work and study occupy my time. Every day, a lot of meetings and missions are waiting for me to deal with them. I often complain I have little time to stay in the domitory to do what I want many times.
On the other hand, too many work and study missions makes me know how the time pass away. They force me to treasure the time, and I get better use of my time day by day.
In a word, I must appreciate this busy time when I am in for the future, because it teachs me how to deal with many things.

 

Awesome! Your English is doing well and I love your view of time! You're a wise guy!

Generally, it refers to a student that has finished high school or university/college. They will be awarded with a degree, diploma, or certificate. For example, if you finished a degree in English at a university, you would be a graduated student.

1.Does it only mean I have partied or studied a lot today? If you use it in past tense, then it can. Ex: "I have been studying away all day today!" means you have studied lots all day. 2.Does it also mean I am going to continue to party or study. It can, if you use it that way. Ex: "I can't go out, I'm going to keep studying away". 3.Can I say it to another party that party away to mean have fun at the party or study away to mean study hard for your math exam? Of course! That would be excellent use of the term. 4.Is it natural to say that I am going to party/study on or move on/go on partying/studying to express continue to party or study? Yes, that is fine. Notes: It can be used as an imperative or in future/past tense, because it can be used whatever way the verb can be used. I would say that it is much more unnatural to say that you are going to party away than it is to say you are going to study away. You might cook away, clean away, or study away. However, unless you are "not cool" or old, you most likely will not party away or tell someone to do so, in my experience/opinion. Hope this helps :)

job and life

Hello. Today I want to talk about jobs. Do you like your job? I do not.
We all have to work for living, it is a big very lucky to take your interested thing as in your work. I have broad interests, but chemical testing is not included.
The work is not tiresome, but boring. I get up at 7:30, leave home at 8:20, begin to work at 9:00, and get off work at 5:10 everyday. During the night I watching TV, do house work or go to the gym and give a belly dance class. 

I have always wanted to change my job, but it does take need courage, right? Many people told me that once a man comes into my world my whole life will change a lot. Then i will find such a job very good for family, child and many other things.
But i am not happy here, so I go far places for traveling.
What is the most important thing about job and life? I am not sure.
Would anybody like to discuss with me about the topic and correct my mistakes?
Thank you.

 

You're doing well! Just try to remember to capitalize the first letter of every sentence.

I think what is most important is a job that lets you do what you want, even if it is not fun. If you live somewhere with a good economy you can have a job that is fun and makes you lots of money. If not, you may have to settle for something not as interesting. It is all dependent on your priorities and situation.

My first homework in italki!

Well, the first friend/teacher that I met on italki suggested to me to write a post here describing my life or something like that. Then, My name is Sergio Gaviria, I'm from Barranquilla, Colombia. I'm 25 years old and I'm a lawyer. I work in a company that generates and commercializes energy. I live in a little apartment. To be continued...

 

That was awesome! Nice to meet you, Sergio :)

I'm learning English, but I have problems with my grammar. I need practice. My writing is important to me, because I need to learn for my profession and because I would like to not only learn this language, but also Italian and French.

 

Good job! Notebook entries are great practice. Keep it up, there are lots of people on italki to help you :)

Thoughts

Hi
I'd like to speak English. I can understand almost all, but I speak is a little bad poorly. It's difficult to for me when I'm trying to talk this language. But I guess my writing is more or less good. I have am tongue-tied in my English class in college because I get confused between Spanish and English. How can I learn faster? I really want to make space to practice this beautiful language.

 

You're doing great! Have you tried using skype to speak with native speakers of English? I think that would help. Try reading out loud also, whether it is a book, paragraph, or grammar exercises. You will get used to forming sentences and hearing yourself speak English so you might not get so tongue-tied later :)
