    Opinion : « 4 Mariages pour 1 Lune de Miel » Je viens de découvrir une émission française qui s’appelle 4 Mariages pour 1 Lune de Miel. Je l’ai regardée pour pratiquer le français, mais je pense que je ne le regarderai plus ! Normalement j’aime bien la téléréalité (quelle honte, je le sais) mais cette fois je pense vraiment qu’on a dépassé les bornes. Le prix est bon, sans aucun doute, et ce n’est pas tout le monde qui arrive à payer une lune de miel, mais…je ne sais pas. Quelque chose me paraît louche ici. Selon moi, le jour de mariage devrait être un moment heureux et cher à passer avec les amis et la famille, sans se préoccuper des opinions des inconnus qui essayeront de tout critiquer. On pourrait bien augmenter la valeur d’une lune de miel en économisant pour pouvoir l’acheter soi-même. Bref, vous ne me verrez jamais sur cette émission !

    Life Style

    Let´s talk about holidays. I´m from Spain and here it is very common to have many days of holidays holiday days/days off or just bank- holidays. For example, this thrusday Thursday and Friday we have bank holidays and the kids don´t go to to school in all the week, from last monday to next tuesday, amazing right? I think that in for other countries it can sound a little bit weird, and I understand. Maybe this is the problem of Spain's problem/a Spanish problem, maybe we have too much free time and we don´t care about our future. I think that if foreiners foreigners think about Spanish people the first image that came up comes to their minds is parties, and fun...yeah, it´s true! A lot of spanish people don´t care about their career, don´t think about learning another languajes languages and they feel afraid to go abroad and face the situation of speaking in other languaje language or just being far away from their home. I think that I am not a Spanish in this sense because I love traveling all around the world, meeting new people, sharing my culture, learning another languaje language, working hard to reach my targets...this is life for me, facing new challenges and reaching all of them, all the dreams that maybe one day will turn into reality.

     

    Nice work!  Almost perfect, but just a few bits of advice:

    language 

    Spanish, Thursday, Friday - nationalities are written with a capital letter as well as countries' names and days of the week, months of the year etc.


    Hope this helps! :D

    Does Online socializing online has have a bad effect on real communication?

    Every single place you go you can see more than one person handling his smartphone or laptop. People mainly use social networks such as Twitter, Facebook or the popular app WhatsApp. I can swear that when I meet my friends, we’re sometimes using our smartphones instead of talking to each others face to facevis-à-vis. Does online communication take us over us? Does it prevent us from relating more to each other in real life?

    First of all, speaking through the Internet is not good for shy people, since it makes them more introverted because they avoid facing difficult situations. Not being physically in front of the person you are speaking to makes you say things you would not say otherwise. This temporary relief can marginalize shy people from society because this increases the lack of necessity of getting around it reduces the need to get around (/see people in person?).

    Nowadays, "Internet" and lie "lying" has have the same meanings for an amateur netizen: on chats and comments on recent posts, for example. and Furthermore, many social networks are full of fake profiles which could fool us if we talk to them regularly. Online socializing is also making many couples break up because there is a thorough survey in the other one of the couple (<--I'm sorry, I don't understand this part - do you mean "each person is under surveillance from the other"?) and many misunderstandings, but the most important thing is that real communication is being lost. 


    For me, online communication is not a real problem if you use it in an adequate way. We just have to know that real communication is more important than faceless conversations.

    I hope you could help me if there are many mistakes. Thank you.

    My Mind Went Blank

    Today, after work, I came home as usual. I did some chores, then turned my computer on. I intended to write an essay from for a course which I am taking now, but I gave up doing the task, since I realized how difficult it was.

    Not accomplishing/Not having accomplished what I had planned, I kept surfing the web. However, my mind went blank. I knew that I was in two minds with about a job that I was offered a few days ago.

    I already learn learnt that when we haven't yet made up our mind, the best thing we should do is that we get it out of our mind. Later on, when we feel more relaxed, we will hit the jackpot, but there is a saying: "Easier said than done."

    Le tour de France Cet été, le tour de France viendra nous visiter ici en Angleterre. Je suis du nord, et le tour passera partout dans ma région. On voit déjà les préparations pour la compétition, y compris des vélos jaunes sur les bâtiments. Pour héberger tous les touristes qui arriveront, les hommes d'affaires locaux ont créé des campings et des auberges. Il y aura des fêtes aussi. Ce que j'aime bien, c'est que cet événement sportif encouragera les gens à faire du sport et à profiter de la belle campagne anglaise.

    Le travail Pour moi, la question du travail est assez difficile. Je suis étudiante dans la dernière année du cours, mais aussi je suis en train de me postuler pour des nombreux postes de travail. Je ne sais pas exactement ce que je veux faire dans la vie, cependant je garde l'esprit ouvert. J'ai travaillé déjà dans quelques restaurants comme serveuse, mais jusqu'aujourd'hui je n'ai pas eu du succès dans la candidature, ni même une réponse des entreprises différentes. Je sais que les opportunités pour les diplômés ne sont pas nombreuses, et j'essaie de maintenir une attitude positive, mais de temps en temps ça devient difficile! On va voir par rapport à l'avenir - je n'ai pas perdu l'espoir! :)

    La danse Il y a trois mois j'ai commencé à aller aux cours de salsa. Mon petit copain m'a dit qu'il aimait bien y aller, et il m'a demandé si je voulais l'accompagner. J'étais assez nerveuse, mais j'avais aussi hâte d'essayer quelque chose de nouveau. Tous les gens que j'ai rencontrés là étaient très gentils, et j'ai vite fait des nouveaux amis. Au début c'était bizarre de danser avec des inconnus, mais aujourd'hui je m'en suis habituée. J'adore la musique et la conversation, et je voudrais concourir aux compétitions de danse sociale à l'avenir.

    My best experience in a restaurant

    A few days ago an old partner of the (friend from?) University recommended a restaurant from in Monçao (Portugal).
    This That evening my girlfriend and I decided to go to the restaurant of in Monçao. We had a wonderful dinner and the prices weren’t too expensive.

    The restaurant is nice, it have has a huge room where there are/ with several tables. There is a great variety of choices. Pizza is their speciality; they serve authentically Italian food. However the diners can order a wide range of meals, from seafood to the most exotic meats. We ordered a pizza for everyone and a delicious fruit salad in the for dessert.

    The best place there is a lovely patio with outside seating. They don`t offer free parking but everyone can get a car park parkin space in the street without a problem.

    Afterwards we went for a walk in a park of in Monçao.

    My first Note

    One/ A week ago I went to Placebo's concert in Banamex´s Audience in Monterrey City.

    It started from at 9:30 pm and opened with the Hansel band (i don't like it them/I didn't like it :p) and Placebo came on/ came onstage at 10:30 pm.

    It was incredible, i heared heard my favorite songs like B3, Song to Say Goodbyes, The Bitter End and more.

    The duration of the concert was more than one hour and thirty minutes. *


    ^ *Your sentence was not wrong, but it does not sound right in an informal context.  I would rather say:

     

    The concert lasted for an hour and a half.


    (sorry for all the mistakes in this note :s)

    See ya!!
