    Silver Linings Playbook - Could someone correct this text please. Thanks.

    I´m not a real film buff, and although I like cinema (the movies), I don´t want speak like a film critic. I don´t usually go to the (the movies) either, although I go sometimes. Actually I often watch films on TV.
    Anyway, talking about cinema, I Know which sort of movies I don´t like: Scary movies, especially if they are gory, and I like light-hearted romantic comedies.
    However, recently, I saw a romantic one which I loved. The film is titled "Silver Linings Playbook" translated in Spanish as "El lado bueno de las cosas".
    The film starred Bradley Cooper and Jeniffer Lawrence and luxury secondary actors as R. de Niro and Jacki Weaver, and all of them are fantastic.
    Despite that the end is quite predictable, like every romantic comedy, the story-line is very creative and there arent many scenes that are too silly .
    By the Way, Which exactly is the meaning of "Silver Linings Playbook"?

     

    It just means that everything has a silver lining, or a bright side. The "play book" refers to a game, maybe football or any game that has a set of plays in it for the "game". In this case the game is probably love, and to every play there is a silver lining, or a bright side. 

    Thanks everyone for the corrections

    The first snow

    Yesterday I looked out the window and saw snow. It was the first snow of the year. I remember when I lived in Siberia and I wanted to go for a run. (you can also say "and I wanted to go jogging.)
    I began to find my old winter boots. It was not easy because I haven't used them in a long time, but I found them. I put on my boots and warm clothing and went for a run. (you can replace "Went for a run" to "went jogging")
    This jog was typical because people watched me with big round eyes. Here on south to see as somebody is running across the snow it is strange :) Maybe this?: Here in the south it is strange to see someone running in the snow.
    But it was a good jog, I enjoyed it and I knew that nothing could spoil my mood. (after a jog today. (This part isn't necessary))

    help me to improve my English.

    I'm a primary school teacher.
    Today,I made a snow sculpture with my students.
    It was very cold, but it seemed to get warmer by doing physical activity. (This is more natural, but your sentence wasn't too off.)
    After two hours, we finished.
    It was a nice day. (repeating "today" isn't necessary, it makes your sentence awkward.)

    Seulement pour ecrire. Quand j'etais a l'ecole j'ai ecrit les journaux chaque semaine et je l'ai deteste. C'est etrange que je veux ecrire maintenant. Le francais c'est ma vie et mon vrai passion. Un jour, je voudrais etre une prof de francais, mais j'attendrai jusque je suis fini avec l'armee. Je peux parler au haut voix assez bien parce que il n'y a pas les mots d'appeler. Mais, j;aimerais bien de developper un vocabulaire riche, et maintenant je peux tenir un conversation, mais au niveau d'un enfant qui a 10 ans, ou plus jeune. J'ai pris un examen pour le francais, et il dit que je parle le francais assez bien et je sais comment ecrire, mais pas seule. L'examen me donne les exemples et j'ai choisi la response poilie, alors pour la production de la langue, j'ai besoin beaucoup d'aide pour vraiment parler comme une personne francophone.
