Andrew, I was very impressed with your pronunciation. I understand that you want to have an American accent. As I told you, this is my expertise. In fact, I am lucky to be from an area with no accent. The mid atlantic region and pacific northwest of the USA are known as regular American accents. The other regions have a distinct colloquial sound. I can help you remove any British pronunciations and answer any questions you may have gathered. I look forward to having friendly and informal sessions with you.

Hi Grace!
1- squishy: The weather is quite squishy in in the winter of New Zealand. --- Why did you choose this word to describe the weather? Something which is squishy is soft and easy to press, like tomatoes. I would use 'mild' in this context, if what you want to say is 'not severe'.
3- collateral: The collateral damage to our house after the earthquake is covered by insurance.
4- come under: Should tomatoes come under fruit or vegetables?
6- deliberate: We'd better take time to deliberate on the important decisions.9- impediment: There could be many impediments while learning a new language.
10- ingrain: The image of those gigantic dinosaurs was (indelibly) imprinted on the children's memory after the museum tour.

My favorite movie
My favorite movie is “Kingsman:The Secret Service.” It was a box office smash in 2015. It’s a spy action-comedy film. The main character is an young adult who is intelligent and capable but always gets into trouble and lives an aimless life. One day, a secret agent told him about his ancestry and offered him a chance into the agency’s training program. The young man has overcome many challenges and participated in a mission to stop a crazy genius from killing billions of people.Later he becomes a field agent. The most impressive scene was the secret agent describing the young adult, he said, ”I see a young man with potential.” It’s very encouraging.I have watched the sequel “Kingsman:The Golden Cycle” this year and I was also into the storyline in the sequel.0 votedSeptember 17, 20180Hello Alexander! Here is my correction.
Sad Story About the Summer
Where I live, the summer lasts about three months, at the best of times. Because, usually, at the beginning of June, it is still rainy and cold, and at the end of August, it is already wet and chilly.
The average summer temperature is about 18-22 degrees Celsius. In July it can reach a high of up to 28-35 degrees Celsius. Many people do not like summer much because of this heat. But I do.
And now that summer is over, it will be back in nine months. I'm not bored, autumn and winter are good seasons, and they will be fun. But anyway I am a little bit sad that the summer has come to an end.0 votedSeptember 17, 20180- El viaje del norte Estoy escribiendo esta nota en la estación de autobuses en Donostia. Faltan tres cuartos de hora hasta mi salida. Acabo de tener una situación estresante. Se me abrió la cremallera de mi mochila cuando bajaba la escalera mecánica, y pensé que el chico que estaba detrás de mí era carterista, porque había llamado mi atención a eso. Afortunadamente, todo está en su lugar. Ufff... El viaje ha sido fascinante, pero cansado. Lo que gustó más fue Bilbao. Pese a un incidente con unos jóvenes por el barrio de mi albergue, la ciudad me pareció una maravilla. El Guggenheim es impresionante, tanto desde fuera como dentro. Arquitectónicamente Bilbao flipa. También es muy verde y tiene muchos jardines. Aunque no tenga el mar, la ría de la ciudad le da buena pinta. Me gustaría volver ahí otra vez algún día. Santander y Donostia son mucho más humildes. Cuentan con unas playas fantásticas y ya. Las dos se extienden a lo largo de las montañas y no tienen mucha capacidad para crecer. Había disfrutado de unas cuantas vistas impactantes, de modo que en SS ya no tenía ganas de subir en el funicular para contemplar la ciudad desde arriba. En cambio, subí a pie el monte de enfrente, al otro lado de la bahía. Hay que mencionar que Euskadi es caro. Todos los precios, sobre todo de la cerveza, son dos veces más altos en comparación con Valencia. Y además, en algunos lugares, te cobran 0,4€ para la terraza. ¡Qué robo! Sin embargo, se come muy bien aquí. Se me hacía la boca agua cada vez que veía los pintxos en la barra. Ayer hasta probé un pintxo de pulpo. Lo rico que estuvo! A fin de cuentas, ha sido una experiencia emocionante. No me arrepiento de ninguna manera. Lo único es que más vale viajar con alguien más, para sentirse más seguro.September 11, 201860
Starting a Blog!
To start a blog seemed like a big job to me. Although I had my blog, I posted nothing and just left it for years. Now, I'm thinking of posting something in my blog. I'm thinking of doing it to check whether I have spent my past few days well or not. Also, I think it would be interesting to write down what happened during the day and later find it when I am just about to forget it.0 votedAugust 28, 20181- Hello Liza, 'So that' is all right, but you may want to correct other sentences as Kevin already pointed out. For ex., 'oriented' is normally followed by 'towards', 'to' or 'around'. The preposition 'on' is a Russian calque. Besides, something must be missing in this part 'and methods elimination of risk consequences'. Looks like you just left out 'of' between 'methods' and 'elimination'. Regards.0 votedAugust 24, 20180
Hi Jose! Check out my corrections below.
Eco friendly travel, is it possible?
Nowadays, some holidaymakers believe that tourism is a fulfilling way to spend their free time. The question arises when we ask ourselves whether it's worth travelling for pleasure, even though when traveling we are contaminating (what? - requires an object, like air, water, environment), or entertainment travel (uncount.) should be avoided so as to protect our environment from the contamination produced by planes, cars or other means of transport.
To begin with, one of the main arguments in favour of the tourism is that those travelling abroad, boost the economy of the destination country because, by and large, they waste a tremendous amount of money there, for instance having lunch in various local restaurants, buying presents for their relatives and friends, and obviously paying for accommodation. According to that, reducing the number of travellers would have a negative impact on the global economy.
On the other hand, critics of tourists believe that the above argument is incorrect, and they argue that a vast amount of visitors look for bargain holidays and they are not willing to waste money. Furthermore, some assert that the drawbacks of tourism overweight the advantages on the grounds that not only visitors harm the environment by travelling, but also spoil the places they visit.
Taking everything into consideration, it can be concluded that tourism is a source of income for several tourists destinations. However, researches should be carried out to find out an eco-friendly way to travel which would be able to reduce the carbon footprint.Hope that makes sense. Un saludo
