Hi Makc,
A few changes. Hope this helps
Please, check me for english tenses...
1. I have been had seening him in [earlier] this month. He was very busy. He had been preparing to for an exam.- 'have been' is the present progressive. You wouldn't use it with an action that is completed. I have been practicing piano every day this month (implying that I continue to do so). I had been practicing guitar every day this month, but then my sister broke the guitar.
- you prepare 'for' or 'to take' an exam.
2. Have you been drinking? - How do you know now? - I can determine, thatn man had been drinking.
3. You are just in time. I have been baking a pie. He It wil be ready soon.- remember: english doesn't given objects genders. A pie, table, lamp etc will always be 'it' rather than he or she
4. She was fined, because she had been driving without rights lights.5. I asked him, what does he did there. He answered, that he had been meeting with him friends, but now he is returning to London.
0 votedOctober 17, 20161- Irán Cuando salí de trabajo hoy, hubo una manifestación muy grande contra el acuerdo entre los Estados Unidos e Irán. Hay muchas manifestaciones en el bario de mi oficina, porque mi oficina está solamente 5 cuadros del edificio de la ONU. Pero, nunca he visto (había visto?) una manifestación tan grande alrededor mi oficina antes de que. Supongo que esta es una señal que el acuerdo esta al borde de obtener los votos suficiente para alcanzar aprobación en el Congreso. Sé que mi madre no está de acuerdo con el presidente en Irán, pero estoy de acuerdo. No creo que sea útil guardar una política como las sanciones que mantiene Irán separado. Creo que es más peligroso a largo plazo. Por supuesto es posible que la gente de Irán vaya a elegir un gobierno y las políticas que nosotros (en los Estados Unidos) no nos gusta. Pero un país que es separado es sin esperanza y más inestable. Por eso, pienso que una política de continuar con las sanciones contra Irán sería más peligroso que un acuerdo nuclear.September 2, 201510
How to get along with your boyfriend?
Do you have a boyfriend? Do you know how to do act/behave in a relationship? Now (now isn't gramatically wrong, but it isn't necessary) I have some questions.
I met my boyfriend in the June. Until now wWe have been together for three months. He is a humorous man who makes me happy every day. He is tall, handsome and hard working. I love him very much. However, I sometimes think he cares about money too much sometimes. (Sometimes at the back end of the sentence implies that he only cares about money too much sometimes. Sometimes in the front part of the sentence, where I put it implies that you sometimes think he cares about money too much. I imagine it is the later, as caring about money too much isn't really a 'sometimes' thing, but if not, please ignore this correction)
I should learn how to become personality independence (more) independent not to denpend on him. It's the best way to get along with a man and it's the only way to keep a relationship.0 votedSeptember 2, 20151That is an interesting, and very relevant question. I am having a similar problem, but in Spanish. I started reading a translation of the Hunger Games in Spanish. It is a very good read, but quite long. I became discouraged because it is 400 pages, and it takes me so long to read just 1 page. Recently though, I found a new book which I am much happier with. It is called The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros The language is quite simplistic as it is supposed to be written from the point of view of a child, but the themes are certainly NOT for children. (I read the book originally in English in high school.) I will say though, that this may appeal more to a female audience.
And now in Spanish, with apologies for butchering the language:
Creo que es una pregunta muy interesante y relevante. Tengo el problema similar, pero en Espanol. Antes, leí un poco de el libro ‘Los Juegos del Hambre’. Pero el libro fue muy largo (400 paginas), y my abilidad leer fue muy lento. Sientí desanimarte. Ahoro, estoy leyendo El Casa En Mango Street. La autor es Sandra Cisneros. Las palabras in esto libro son muy sencillo, pero no es un libro por los niños! (Las temas son muy adultos en partes del libro.) Estoy leyendo en Espanol, pero, el libro escribía originalment en ingles. Possiblemente es un opcion por tu? (Pero, este libro puede apelar más a las mujeres que a los hombres).

It rained most time here this almost the entire weekend. I don't know when the rain has stopped, and but now it’s wet and cold outside. I don’t use any heating facility a heater and the cold weather makes my studying a little chilly tonight. The wWeather like this gives me the real a sense of the coming of the winter. I often stay out late in my evenings, but in the winter time, it’s a disadvantage.
NB: 'Stay out late' implies that you are out of your house (for example, with a friend at a party). If you want to say you are in your house, you could say "I often stay awake late"
When I go to bed, my feet are always cold because of my staying in the cold air, and the quilt on my bed is as cold as ice too. It’s always a little challenging for me to slip into bed during this season. When the temperature really goes down to zero, I will have to use a hot-water bottle to keep warm as a rescuer . Personally, I don’t like winter.
[You wouldn't use 'really' with an exact temperature, like 'zero'. For example, 'when the temperature is really freezing' OR 'when the temperature goes down to zero'.]
It’s strange to maintain keep a habit like this, although even though I could can make myself more comfortable. Sometimes, I think I am one of those most stubborn ones people who stick to their old stuff routines, irrespective of whether no matter it’s good or bad. Maybe there are is some values for me in letting my room get cold to leave my room cold. A warm, cozy air room will make me sleepy and feel drowsy. Meanwhile, a cold air always keeps me awake and refreshed. A cold, still room gives me the feeling of a connection to my history between nowadays and numerous days in the past. I am afraid of dropping out of the connection, and that the material possessions which so many pursue will numb my senses. and sense will get numb one day in a material built-up comfortable zone, which easily be pursued and many would like to follow.A very poetic piece! Stay warm though!

Today is Saturday, so I woke up later. I had a breakfast with my husband and did the dishes and housework. Then, I met a delivery man with who brought goods*, which I had ordered booked.
(*I would either say packages or specify the type of goods. It wouldn't be natural to just say goods here For example 'Then I met a delivery man who brought the soap that I ordered the day before)
Thereafter, I had a lunch with my husband and then began to do my hometask English homework and translate professional texts.
Sounds like a busy day!

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Turing trabajaba romper la codificación de la maquina ‘enigma’. Despues la guerra, creó la ‘Prueba de Turing’. Es una series de pregunta, se utiliza para determinar si una cosa es una maquina o humano. Él comenzó búsqueda de inteligencia artificial. Ahora, gente llama Turning ‘la padre de informatica’. Me lo ha gustado mucho. Era una historia interesante. Tambien, me recordó de mi tiempo a universidad. Eso es porque fui a una universidad que fue conocido para informática. No estudié informática, pero el carácter de Alan Turning me recordó un poco de mis amigos.November 29, 201441
