swimming day
Tomorrow after work I will go to the swimming pool. I paid a monthly fee that gives me the right to use the pool from monday to saturday at any time I want,. However, but I didn`t paid pay for any classes, so while i can swim any time i want, I swim freely without supervision, the downside is that I haven`t improved my way of swimming skills during this month (January). I don´t know why, but I get exhausted so fast,; maybe my breathing isn´t right. In February I think I am going to take classes, since that is the best way to get better.
Note: "exhausted so fast" is perfect for speech or very informal writing. This is what people say in everyday conversations. The grammatically correct way to say this, however, is "...exhausted so quickly," and you should say it that way in formal writing.
Great job!

0 votedJanuary 29, 20141- "Nothing is every what they say" is literal. It refers to hearing what people say, and knowing that it is actually completely different. "and no one holy one hundred percent" means that even those we look up to as saints, or Gods, are not perfect, or completely. The sentence connects the above two ideas, indicating that people are not telling the truth when they say Santa Rita de Casia is a saint, because actually she is a woman, worshipped as a god, and the writer is indicating that neither she, nor anyone, can be perfectly/completely holy.0 votedJanuary 25, 20140
- honestly, i am having trouble answering that as a grammar-aware native speaker. We normally just say "in bulk." We normally don't modify "bulk" at all. "In bulk quantities" sounds the best to me, but "in bulk amounts" also sounds pretty close. "In bulk quantity" and "In bulk amount" both sound wrong to me. But again, i normally wouldn't say any of those, i would just say something like: "Hey, John, did you buy that toilet paper in bulk? You sure have a lot of it!"0 votedJanuary 25, 20141
- That depends on what you plan to use English for. If you want to take part in American internet discussions or watch American movies, then American English will probably be easier for you, because you will have stronger motivation to learn it. If you plan on living in Europe, or spending a lot of time with English-as-a-second-language individuals, then British English may be easier, since you will be surrounded by (or looking forward to being surrounded by) people who learned British English. The grammar structures are essentially the same, the main differences are in colloquialisms (slang terms) and cultural context. Also, British and American English speakers understand each other nearly 100% if we speak directly to each other and avoid slang, so either way you go, you will be able to talk to people all over the world. good luck!0 votedJanuary 24, 20141
Oh,that again
There are a lot of bakeries in the neighborhood of around my house.

People from around the neighborhood enjoy going to the bakery.
The wanting tenant are entered by bakeries in lot of ways.
If there were a jam shop, I could would be happy.0 votedJanuary 20, 20141- "join" is more formal, and used more frequently. Anything you can become a part of, you can "Join." "join in," however, is quite informal, and is only used with informal situations, generally with groups of people who are talking, when you "join in" the discussion/conversation, as Gary noted above. If in doubt, use "join," not "join in," as it is more universal.0 votedJanuary 20, 20140
