    Cocinamos tamales El sábado pasado mi hija y yo cocinamos tamales. Pocos tamales fueron de pollo y otros fueron de pimientas asadas. Tambíen hice una salsa de chiles anchos. ¡Nos gustaron mucho! Mi amiga es de Nicaragua y ella dijo que su familia enrolló las tamales en hojas de las plátanos. En la classe de cocinar, mi hija aprendó usar las hojas de maíz. Mi amiga dice que la maíz es el estilo de México. Cocinar tamales no está facil. Hay muchos horas para completer. Pero me gusta porque está bien tiempo para hablar y reír con mi hija. Si tu cocinas ¿qué están sus recetas favoritas?

    Aprendido para leer Aprendía español para leer libros. Leía los libros gramaticos, y ahora leo una novela para jóvenes. Es La Ciudad de las Bestias de Isabel Allende. Trato leer un otro libro de Allende, para adultos, pero los palabras fueron dificiles para mí. Me gusta a La Ciudad de las Bestias porque es una cuenta que ocurrir en la Amazonia. Hace 19 años visito la Amazonia, y reconozco las cosas de la cuenta: los monos, el rio, los botes, el miedo de las serpientes y los caimans. Allende escribe bien, y en este libro para jóvenes, fue mucho de diálogo, cuál está fácil comprender.

    Cleaning The House

    I have been cleaning my house today. I turn on the pc and the sound system for to hear the music of Michael Jackson, because I like to hear good music when I am cleaning my house., It is fun!. Then I was organizedorganizing the living room while dancing and singing. Is It is a funny way for to clean.
    :)

     

    In Spanish, the infinitive form of the verb is one word (oir, limpiar).  In English, the infinitive form of the verb is two words:  to hear, to clean.  You need to use the two words together to make the infinitive.

    Where you would use the imperfect in Spanish, to convey that the action is ongoing, in English we tend to use the gerund (-ing).

    Keep writing!

    Story 7/5/2014

    Thomas Edison conducted experiments to try to invest invent the incandescent light bulb, and he had failed for 1200 times.
    A business (Other businessmen?) mocked him as a man of no achievement,
    Edison laughed heartily and said, "I just make (made/realized) a big achievement, I have proved that these 1200 types of materials are not suitable to be used as a tungsten filament."

     

    To "invest" means to put money into a project.  To "invent" means to be creative, figure it out, make something new.

    Quotation marks (") go around the sentence you are quoting.  Thus you need quotes at both ends.

    What is leadership? Start leading yourself and manage yourself effectively

    Most of the people who talk about leadership think that if we manage people this is leadership. Do you think so? Well let me tell you first that First, there are two creations (aspects to leadership?). The first creation (aspect?  part?) is Leadership and the second is Management.Your leadership starts from within from you. When you know what your mission is, that leads you and you manage (discipline) yourself, for instance, you use factors things like hard working, and relationship building to achieve your mission. But if you don't have any missions, if you are not sure what you want to achieve, instead of achieving things flowing out of your mission, you will mostly be focusing on unimportant things.

    Leaders don't manage people, rather they manage things and lead people. People are not things who could be managed or controlled. People have bodies, minds, hearts and spirits that so they can use those to get things done. What I know according to from my practical experience and reading many books related to leadership is that in every single person, leadership basically starts from within. Leadership begins from within. If you cannot lead yourself, you cannot lead others. People will follow you when you know where you are going. Our mission leads us and we manage ourselves effectively to achieve our mission of life. Remember when you have a mission, you will use factors like hard working, relationship building, preventive work, and delegation to achieve it.

    When you have a mission, you will identify the roles and discover goals from them. Remember most of the people try to do everything, but commit themselves to nothing. There are so many hard working people but rarely get do they succeed. and The reason behind them is that they don't have (know?  follow?) their mission. So what I want to let you know is: create your mission and let it lead you, otherwise it is hard to get succeed achieve success.
    (1) Make your mission ( a purpose). Get to Know where you want to go.
    (2) Manage (discipline) yourself effectively. For instance, follow choose activities that can help you achieve your purpose, and finally integrate into what you learn in order to achieve your mission.

    There have been so far so many books about leadership and it seems that leadership matters a lot. and Remember, use stewardship delegation (?). That means in every department, make each person a leader and make him responsible for results. I make people judge and boss of every situation and when they need help they ask me. This is because I want to create more leaders so I can release some work and achieve my mission.

     

     

    Hi Mahesh - Your piece is very understandable and your thoughts convey well.  For the most part your English is very good, but I offer corrections to help you make it better.  

    Because you chose a formal subject, you should match that with formal phrases.  "Well let me tell you" is correct in speaking or in informal writing, but in business writing it is too informal. 

    In your second paragraph, "People" is plural, thus you need "bodies, minds, hearts and spirits" to be plural to go with the plural "people."

    I'm not sure what "stewardship delegation" is.  You might have a mistake in translating a specific term.

    This is a more advanced issue in writing, but you are at the point where you should study sentence structure.  When we come to the end of a complete thought, we end the sentence.  The next thought is a new sentence.  You would only merge complete sentences for a specific stylistic reason, otherwise it is considered an error in writing.  If you are going to do formal business writing, you will need to practice this.  Keep practicing!

    About At the cloudy weather

    Today I woke up at 5.30 am when it was cloudy outside. I didn't want to wake up, but I needed to go to work. I took a bath and ate breakfast before I went. I went to my office by bus, but I needed to walk about 5 minutes from my home to the bus stop. And then I needed about a hour to arrive at my office with mass transit. Now.. here I am.. sitting behind the computer with a boring job everyday. This is my story for this morning, please help me to correct it. Thank you. :D

     

    Hi Merissa - Your English is very understandable, which is great, but you changed from present tense to past tenses a lot.  We would use past tense for the things that are done.  Be careful with your contractions - the ' goes in the space where you took the letters out.  Did not = didn't  When you want to emphasize your words (Now here I am) you would not use a contraction, because the contraction is more casual.  "Wanna" is slang, and would only be written if you were capturing dialog or very, very casual writing like a SMS text.  Very good, keep on writing!
