My name is Bronwen. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada, in a small cabin out in the country. I am mostly retired, but busy. I am a native English speaker, fluent in French and starting to learn Italian for fun, because it is beautiful to listen to and because I like to learn new things. I plan to travel in Italy next year and my goal is to be able to be socially active in Italian. I would like to find a teacher on italki and to be able to practice with native Italian speakers.

    The first post

    So, I don't write well but I need to try because I have a big dream for my life.
    I want to be a master, I want to be a teacher in a college and to teach psychology.

    Although, I'm not the best student in the world, every day I try realize my dreams.

    So, that's me...

    Every person in this world is equal to every other person

    All people are good, and worthy of respect. If we don't respect others then no one will respect us, either today or any other day. I think that no-one will learn anything from me unless I love all people, all races, all colors and, if I can do this, they will give me great respect. That is worth a gold medal to me.
    Thanks

    Could you please correct my essay? Now with spaces between paragraphs. ;) Thank you in advance

    Some people say that the best way to improve health by increasin the number of sports facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little effect on public health and that other measure are required.
    Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

    At present, public health is a very serious issue that has become a priority for society and governments in general. Some people say that the best way to improve health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. However, others are of the opinion that this would not have significant effects on public health and that other measures are required. This essay will discuss both points of view and I will give my own opinion on this matter at the end.

    Advocates of the idea that sports facilities must be increased to improve health, might argue important reasons to support this. For example, it has been demonstrated that to do regular exercise has physical, psychological and social benefits in humans. It helps to prevent cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, and controls weight as well, which are major worries among the population. Furthermore, it is important to highlight that exercise liberates hormones such as endorphins and serotonin, that make us feel better. In addition, it is well known that sports is a good way to disconnect from our routine lives. Therefore, increasing the number of sport facilities would seem likely to improve public health. Firstly, the prices of sports centers and gyms should be cheaper and affordable for everyone. And secondly, government should invest more money into building more bike lanes and sports infrastructure.

    On the other hand, the opponents to this idea argue that increasing sports facilities would have little effect on health and that other measures are required. I think they are partly right, because it is well known that exercising without following a healthy lifestyle is not worthwhile. Therefore, in order to increase public health, government should promote healthy habits such as eating healthy, quitting smoking, and the moderate use of alcohol. In fact, some countries are already promoting these good habits among citizens.

    In my opinion, the best way to improve public health is to increase the number of sports facilities. However, I think that healthy habits must also be promoted.

    Una fontana fatto in casa Due volte l’anno, il governo municipale raccoglie i rifiuti domestici grande, come i vecchi materassi, i tavoli rotti, ecc. Qualche volte, se sto cercando qualcosa particolare, controllo le pile a lato della strada. In passatto gia’ ho trovato una sedia a dondolo, un tavolo da giardino et uno traliccio, tutte necessario, ovviamente, piccole riparazione. Due settimane fa, ho trovato una pompa piccola con un filo guasto, e un bacino decorativo. Ho reparato il filo elettrico della pompa e, con il bacino, ho costruito una fontana. Per il primo contenitore d’acqua ho presato la cima di una vecchia carriola e ho messo in esso un blocco di calcestruzzo per tenere il bacino. Ho nascosto il tubo che portava l’acqua al bacino con le rocce, e ho scelto una bella roccia piatta per la cima. Su quello ho messo una piccola statua di Buddha. Sono contenta; il mio giardino e’ piu’ bella con la fontana! E mi ho costato solo un rotolo di nastro isolante …

    Your point of view is valid for some older individuals, but not all. As a 65-year-old, I can tell you that it is possible to be old and stupid! Of course, one hopes to gain wisdom and experience with the years, and in some ways, particular to me, I have done so. I have also had the pleasure of knowing many intelligent, self-aware, thoughtful young people. So I think it is more important to consider the qualities of the individual you are talking to rather than their age, and then use your own good sense to evaluate their advice. Good luck!

    There's a site called Bliu Bliu that gives you many, many simple short (and not so short) texts with audio and videos in Italian. I just finished a 30-day challenge on the site and my Italian went from almost zero to "struggling but comprehensible" doing 10-20 minutes a day. I highly recommend it.
