first day
Let's start from the begining: I'm a law student from Brazil, I'm law student and I heard about using this website to practise new languages and; I really need to improve my English because of my future career.
I'm still lost as to what to do in on this website (<em>You could also say "I'm still at a loss as to what to do ..." Both versions sound natural</em>) ... but I will learn haha.<em>Besides a few missed commas and a couple misspelled words, I changed up some of the word order so that it sounded more natural to a native speaker. </em>
<em>
</em><em>Good luck with italki, and good luck with your future career as a lawyer. </em>

Today was a difficuld difficult day, since I worked all day. Of course, I like my job, but sometimes my job is heavy tiring.
In the This morning I bought an English book. I heard that this book is easy and interesting. My goal is to read it, I suppose tommorow tomorrow I will begin to reat read this book. And I am going to write about this story, maybe you will be interested ))) If you like romantic books, I'm sure that you will like this book will like you! I know that it is four hundred pages and I can ask that this is the first English book which I have decided to read ))) Good luck to me))
Goodbye<em>I wasn't sure what you meant by "heavy" so I changed it to "tiring," which is a more common English expression. Also, I fixed up some spelling errors. You really like to use commas when you should be using periods, so I fixed that up as well.
</em><em>I'm curious what the title of the book is. Is it something I've read?? In any case, good luck, and happy learning :)</em>0 votedFebruary 3, 20151Au pair (<em>two words</em>) life
I am working like as an au pair in the UK. I don't like this country, but I think that it living here (<em>"it" is a vague word</em>) is the best and quickest way to improve my English faster. <em>(taking out "faster" and using "best and quickest" instead is NOT an essential correction, but it helps the sentence flow better, and sound more natural to a native speaker)</em>
I work with three children, who have are one, two and three years old. I like the job and the family. They are so nice, but I miss my family, my boyfriend and also the good weather of Malaga.<em>Thank you for sharing, and I hope you become better acclimated as time goes by. Good luck! :)</em>

It seems incredible, but it's true,: (<em>use a colon here</em>) it rains has rained for three days. I don't remember a time with worse weather worst.
The worst problem Worst of all, are the streets that become rivers. (<em>Removed "are" because it was in teh wrong tense, changed "The worst problem" into an introductory clause of "Worst of all"</em>)We are used to the sun and to have having nice sunny days.
Unfortunately, it's winter, and usually the weather is bad like these days.
I hope that spring will come soon, bringing better climatic conditions then i'm going to so I can ride my bike again. (<em>I added "so I can" in order that the end of the sentence relates to the first part via cause-and-effect: you hope that spring comes soon - the cause, so that you can ride bike again - the</em> effect)
<em>I hope all my corrections make sense. </em><em>
</em><em>Also, I hope the weather gets better soon, because personally, I hate the winter (I live in the state of Indiana, and it can get down to -20 degrees celsius in the wintertime ... no fun!)</em>

I am an architecture student of at the uUniversity of Valencia.
To improve acquire this degree, the students need to have the B2 level in English.
My problem is that since high school I had have not never more learned studied English since high school, and now I have problems to with speaking and writing. (B<em>esides changing some of the words used, </em><em>I have switched some of the clauses in this sentence so that they flow more</em> naturally.)<em></em><em></em>
Therefore I am here in italki, (<em>no comma</em>) to learn English, and for to find people helps who can help me.
Moreover, I can help to other people that they who want to learn Spanish.
I think that this page can help we us to improve in other languages, and that (<em>Parallelism between first half of sentence and second: </em><em>"I think THAT ..., and THAT"</em>) it cans help us to get achieve our aims.
Thanks in advance!<em>Good luck with your studies! :)</em>

Yesterday I met with my friend. We hadn't seen each other for a long time, so we were very happy to meet at last. While we enjoyed spending time discussing our news and gossiping about men, her phone rang, and I discovered saw that the case for her phone was in the form of was made to look like chocolate. It looked so natural that I waited to see her palm soiled with melted chocolate at the next moment. I even felt that sweet taste in my mouth.
After that I ate the whole chocolate bar, and of course felt guilty. No! Chocolate is too strong temptation for me, I can't resist.<em>Very few errors. You're a good writer :) I corrected some comma errors, but the only other corrections are mostly superficial, to help the sentences sound more natural - more like a native English speaker.
</em><em>Also, I too love chocolate far more than I should, but I never feel guilty after eating it. There is NOTHING wrong with eating chocolate (I tell myself). </em>0 votedFebruary 3, 20152Kind waitress
I went to the Apple bee's Applebee's (<em>one word</em>), last week, to have lunch with my husband last week.
The waitress asked me that where I am from, and I answered, with a smile, that I am from Korea. with smile. (<em>"with a smile" is modifying "I answered" rather than "I am from Korea"</em>)
She told me she is good at Japanese and also wants to study Korean.
Actually I tought thought it just made us pleased.
After I was done with my lunch, I asked her to bring our check.
She handed me the check with some greetings in Korean like thak "thank you" and "bye." (<em>use quotation marks around words when talking about the words themselves</em>)
Even her pronunciation was very clear, though she was a beginer beginner.
However, the most amazing thing was between the reeipt receipt. She wrote had written us a letter in Korean.
How touching! This was my first time to receive receiving a letter from American.
I was so surprised, and thanked her to for expressing her interest about in Korean language.
It may be unfogettable memory to me. It is something I will never forget.0 votedFebruary 3, 20150The Neurolinguistic Description of Dyslexia
