Hi, I've spent most of my life in England and a lot of it in London, but I was born in India and lived for a while in Africa. I'm a researcher and always interested in learning new stuff. Estudio espanyol porque me gusta el idioma, nada mas. Llevo estudiando por mucho anos pero siento que me atasco en el mismo nivel. Querria dar mas esfuerzos para tener fluidez.

    feeling anxiety about my exam

    I will take an exam the day after tomorrow. It is about second language acquisition. It's really hard for me to understand what I have learnt. My teacher sent me a lot of PPTs and I have no idea what they mean even though I looked up each word in the PPTs. God, please help me.

    A travel experience.

    I really like traveling. I've been to other European countries and some places in Asia. I was born in Central Asia and when I was twenty-two I went [is this 'moved'?] to Moscow.


    I visited Finland last month, I only went to Helsinki, but when I traveled ['went' sounds more natural in everyday English] there two years ago, I also went to Turku. Turku is a port city in the South West of Finland. I absolutely love cities near the coast, because of the fresh sea wind and the sound of seagulls. I started my trip from St.Petersburg, by ship. I was in Helsinki four days, I met my friends and we walked around the city and played frisbee. Of course we visited museums and had excursions ['trips' sounds more like everyday, spoken English] to islands near the city. The Finnish people usually celebrate Student's Day on the last day of April, so we went to a bar. I think that's about all, it was just a weekend trip. I love Helsinki, especially the city center and Kallio district. I took the photo below near Toolonlahti.

    Today is sunday and I slept until 12'o clock with my cat. As  [or 'Unfortunately, because'] I woke up late I can't help my sister to move out.She is moving near [or 'She is moving close to'] her college.I think it will be hard to get used to the fact that she will not be at home, because we have lived together for 20 years. But [don't usually start a sentence with but] it is a good way to let her grow up.I hope she will learn lots [you can use more but it's better if you use it when you are comparing something e.g. 'I hope she will learn more from living on her own than at hom] from living on her own [or 'living by herself'].

     

    If you're writing formally generally you don't start sentences with 'BECAUSE, BUT or AND' but I think it's fine in something like this but most probably easier to remember if you just stick to that rule all the time...

    First

    I saw a movie last night about two men. They used to be sales people in a watch company but the company was suddenly closed down. They lost their jobs so started to look for new place to work which was Google. They narrowly missed [use narrowly if it didn't happen, if they did get the internship then use 'they just managed to get'] a chance to do an internship at Google because they were too old to work as interns and did not know enough [you can use ignorant but I would usually use it in a more negative sense] about IT. Then guess what happened to them. [Is this supposed to be a question? Or are you trying to say 'So that's what happened to them?' It's so cliche, but very funny.

     

    I'd use the past to describe films or books.


    I'm not sure whether I should use the present tense when I talk about the story of movie or book. I thought I've been learning English for a long time but I'm really poor at speaking and writing in English. It takes long time to make some sentence. So I made up my mind to watch films and dramas in English a lot. I hope I can be like native speaker someday.

    IELTS writing task 1

    The diagram shows how tea leaves are processed into five tea types.
    Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________

    The diagram explains the different phases in which tea leaves are treated to obtain five different kinds of tea.
    From this it can be seen that different procedures are followed for each type.

    The least processed variety is called “White Tea” and four stages are necessary to produce it.
    To begin with, in the first three processes, as for every variety of tea, the leaves are grown, plucked and then dried [hi, I'm not sure what you mean by withered - is this just drying out naturally rather than in the oven?].
    In the last operation, tea leaves designated to become White Tea are then dried in an oven.
    For the green tea, two more stages are required for the final product. These are steaming and rolling the leaves.
    For the “Oolong tea” quality  it is necessary to have one more operation than that for the previous type of tea. In this new phase leaves are slightly fermented before being dried in the oven.
    The highest number of processes is required to produce the large leaf black tea and the small leaf black tea.
    The leaves after being withered [?], are rolled for the large leaf black quality, while for the small leaf black tea, the leaves are only rolled.
    Finally, both specialities are fully fermented before being oven dried and ready for sale.
