Hola! Me llamo Ruth y vivo en Florida, EEUU. Tengo un nivel de C1. Me faltan muchíssimo el vocabulario y por supuesto el gramática. Eventualmente deseo tomar el DELE o algún examen semejante, pero ahora me gustaría enfocar en mejorar a todo, especialmente la gramática. Me encanta escribir en español, aunque no lo hago muy bien.

    THE THREE WISE MEN STORY:

    The figure of "The Three Wise Men" has a Christian origin.

    They came to the Birth (normally you wouldn’t capitalize this; I assume you know this and are doing so for stylistic reasons) of Jesus. They take part (take part in what? You could say, “they were in the manger with . . .”) in the manger together with Mary the Virgin, Joseph and Jesus.

    The Three Wise Men (I’M not sure you would want to capitalize this every time) came from Asia, Europe and Africa. They followed a star that (‘who’ is only for people) drove (‘led’ is better. ‘Drove ‘means that it impelled them; rather, they were following it) them to the house of the Jewish king whose birthplace was Bethlehem.

    The Three Wise Men offered Jesus gold, incense and myrrh. Their names were Melichior, Ghathaspa and Bithisarea.


    Today is the (I would give the Spanish name in italics and then the translation, e.g., <em>El dia de los tres Mages</em> (“The Three . . .”)) "Three Wise Men Day” in Spain. In our country, there is a tradition to represent (“represent’ is not exactly right – maybe ‘reenact’?) them as coming on camels from the East to take presents to children who behave well.

    Vd. Escribe muy bien, Noelia. Es muy dificil escribir en otro idioma.

    This story comes from my English book, The first sentence is given and I continue the story in (in my own words, etc.).

    Emma could not believe what she saw when she opened the door and s went outside. She couldn’t imagine what had happened. The street was strangly quiet and calm ­—no cars, no birds, no people. She could hear only her own heartbeat. ‘It’s strange,’, she thought.

    She walked for a few minutes and she didn’t see anything. ‘Where is everybody?’ she thought.
    She shouted her parents’ name;, she shouted a lot of things, but she could only hear the echo of her voice.
    She knocked at (you can say either ‘knocked at the doors’ or ‘knocked on doors’) doors of many houses but no one answered. As she was walking, she thought that perhaps she was alone in the world. ‘It’s madness!’ she thought.

    Suddenly she saw a man running across the street and she started to run too. ‘Wait! Wait!’ she shouted to him, but the man didn’t stop. A few minutes later, the man had disappeared but Emma continued running.

    The dark night was coming when she arrived at the cliffs. By then she was feeling nervousand desperate. Suddenly, she felt something behind her. She turned around and the man was there…

    Su cuento es cierto a ‘clliffhanger’!

    And the winner is...

    Last year on March 2, there took place the most important event in the cinematographic world: The 86th Academy Awards, known as "The Oscars."

    Many films were nominated, but only a few were winners.

    The favorite films were '12 Years a Slave' by Steve McQueen, which won three Oscars including Best Picture, and 'Gravity' by Alfonso Cuarón, which picked up seven prizes including Best Director.

    From my point of view, the losing film was ‘The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug' by Peter Jackson, which had three nominations including Best Sound Editing, but did not win anything.

    Matthew McConaughey, one of the most prolific American actors, won Best Actor category playing the role of [who?] in 'Dallas Buyers Club.' This is the first Oscar he has won, and probably won’t be the last. Best Supporting Actor was Jared Letto, who plays an astonishing role [of?] next to McConaughey.

    Cate Blanchett won Best Actress award with 'Blue Jasmine' by Woody Allen, meanwhile Best Supporting Actress was Lupita Nyong’o, who plays an impressive role in '12 Years a Slave.'
    Last but not least, different categories supported different winners, for instance, 'The Great Gatsby' received the Best Costume Design prize, 'Her' won Best Original Screenplay, and Best Foreign Language Film went to the Italian film 'The Great Beauty.'
