Hi Dorothy

I am an Irish woman with a British accent.  A few days ago I arrived in Spain to practise the language for a few months.  I am not sure if I could be classed as high intermediate, possibly middle or low intermediate.  Tomorrow I move out of the hotel, which has wifi, into a flat, which does not have wifi, and I then have to navigate the complexities of Spanish smartphones, dongles and a bewildering variety of tariffs in order to continue with my Spanish lessons and chat with italki members.  If you have the patience to wait while I get organised I could perhaps join your interesting group in a week or two. 

kind regards

Carol

Differencein Chile

One important difference it can find <em>that can be found / you can find</em> in Chile is the <em>with</em> childhood. Until the late 90s, children always play<em></em>ed on the street or in a square or just practiced sport. For every birthday or Chirtmas, they asked for a bycicle bicycle, balls or anything that they could play with friends. Those children had a strong connection with the nature and they enjoyed it. A good resource  <em>punishment </em>used for  <em>by</em> parents when they did something bad, their parents punished them and they could not <em>was to stop them go</em><em>ing out</em> to play and they had to be  <em>stay </em>at home and that was the worst thing that those children could live <em>with</em>.

On the other hand, "modern" children do not like to play outside, they enjoy being at home and playing video games or watching TV. Bycicles  <em>bicycles </em>and balls have been replaced for  <em>by</em> computers, PS3 and other kinds of electronic devices. The first bycicle  <em>bicycle </em>which usually was received when someone is  <em>was </em>3 years old, now it was  <em>was now </em>replaced for  <em>by /with </em>the first computer. A difference the 90s' children, the worst punishment that this kids can suffer is can not use electronic devices and they have to play outside.   <em>A difference between the children of the nineties and the children of today is that the worst punishment today's kids can suffer is that they cannot use electronic devices and they have to play outside.</em>

The ebola epidemic.

The ebola epidemic, don't worry,<em>Don't worry about the ebola epidemic,</em> it's happening in Africa, so far from here. Days after, <em>later</em> In <em>it appeared/happened</em> <em>in </em>Spain, <em>still</em> far from here, yet. The week before, in EEUU, <em>the USA, </em>the first case <em>arrived/appeared/was diagnosed/was detected </em> in America, what is happening? We underestimate it, we ignore it, there are somethings  <em>some things</em> that we don't understand. The Society is interested in other topics, music, movies, actors, cars, some things more close <em>closer</em> to us. Also, the governments failed (fallar, is it correct? <em>yes, it is correct and it is a verb!</em>), too.
Now, a lot of countries have deciced <em>decided to</em> send more money to combat the ebola epidemic in Africa, Why not <em>didn't they send money</em> before? Maybe , because we  <em>they </em>thought that <em>ebola </em>never would <em> would never </em>come to America.

Days after, In Spain, far from here, yet. - This sentence needs a verb.

The week before, in EEUU, the first case in America.  - This phrase needs a verb.

Why not before?  - This sentence needs a verb. 

Well done Jose'.  Don't forget your verbs!

Rear Window

Rear Window is a movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock, which was released in 1954. Perhaps you´ve already seen it, but in case you haven´t, I´m going to summarize its plot. It is about a photographer who ,after breaking his leg in an accident, has to spend some time immobilized. So he is sitting by the window all day long, prying into his neighbours´affairs. He finds out quite by chance, that one of his neighbours, could have killed his wife. From that moment on, he begins a<em>n</em> [peculiar] investigation [about] <em>into</em> this issue, with the help of his girlfriend and his carer. Soon, this affair becomes an obsession for him, and [try] <em>he tries</em> to persuade a police friend to arrest his neighbour. When this friend of his tells him that he needs evidence,the photographer [makes the [decisión] <em>decision (there are no stress accents in English)</em>]  <em>decides</em> to send an anonymous note to his neighbour accusing him of murdering his wife. On receiving this note, his neighbour gets really nervous, and [try] <em>tries</em> to find out who sent him the note. In the end he finds out that the photographer is behind the whole thing,and decides to pay him a visit. The last scene of the movie is really scary. You hear the neighbour´s footsteps approaching the photographer´s flat and, little by little, the door is opened, and eventually the killer neighbour appears, going towards the photographer. This [one] <em>man</em> can´t move , and [try] <em>he tries</em> to defend himself with his camera flash in the darkness of the flat.
Would you like to know how the movie ends? Then you´d better watch it. If you like thriller films, it won´t let you down.

Verb to try:  I try, you try, he/she/it tries, we try, you try, they try.  (present tense)
