my day

Today is my bad day. I awoke up at 9am and I feel cold light. I was lazy and I was thinking about today and also for my future. One of my friend came from Mumbai for his work. He had been living from four days we spent time with him but today he went on for to Mumbai again. He has got a job in Qatar and he will go next month. That's it.

Good job. Your spelling is very good, you just need to work on capitalization. In English the first letter of the name of a place is capitalized.

In your first sentence you said "today is my bad day". You could say that, but we normally don't in English. Saying "my bad day" you imply that you only have one bad day. We would normally say "I'm having a bad day today" or "today is a bad day".

Also, you said you feel "cold light". That doesn't make sense. You could say:

"I feel a little cold" meaning that you are chilly,

"I feel lightly cold" meaning that you are chilly, or

"I feel a light cold" meaning that you feel a little sick.

Overall, you did very well. Have fun learning English!

A Book Review. "La Sonrisa Etrusca"

"La sonrisa etrusca" (Etruscan Smile) is a novel by Jose Luís Sampedro, a well-known Spanish novelist, humanist and economist of the early 20th century. It was released in 1985 and the story is set in modern-day Milan. On the whole, most readers, praised this outstanding bookd as a haunting story.


The main character is Salvatore, an old man from southern Italy, staying in his son's house to visit the doctor. As a man who grew up in a small town, he doesn't like the big city lifestyle and also can't also stand his daughter-in-law who wears the trousers in the marriage. But with Bruno, his little grandson, he discovers some new feelings that really impress him. Although he suffers a strong pain in the stomach (nicknamed Rusca) he's willing to face it as to spend time with the baby for teaching him essential things.
Anyway, the old man also have a close realtionship with a woman who he knows accidentally. Even though, he's tied in some convictions, many events show him another pleasant reality.

In fact, Sampedro captivates the readers using some a quirky writing style. Not only is the book light reading, but it also has funny expressions. Actually, the extremelly ordinary vocabulary of Salvatore makes his character increadibly alive this figure. Apparently the autor, in a simple way, achieves we imagine every situation intensively.

Never have I read such hilarious and emotional book. If you like to know how people act due to customs adquired, this is your book.

<em>Very, very good! You sound like you have a very good grasp on the language. You had a few issues in writing, but nothing too much. The sentence I highlighted in green does not sound right to me, and I don't know what you were trying to say so I couldn't correct it. You also misplaces some commas, but lots of natives (myself included) do that and so it isn't that big of a deal. Overall, I think you did fantastically and good luck with continuing to learn English!</em>
