Hello! My name is Jon, and I'm 22 years old. It is my goal to become fluent in German, though I have not studied it in a few years. Hopefully it will open up job opportunities for me in the computer world. I'm looking for friends to practice with, so we can help each other improve.

    An interesting animal

    A time when I saw an interesting animal is when I was a kid, I often saw a famous cartoon called Banbi, which was about a deer’s adventure. He always helps others, and he is brave and smart, as well as humorous. This cartoon impressed me a lot in my childhood, and I also thought deers gave me many fantasy.[What are you trying to say, here?] You know, whenever I saw the deer on Christmas Day, I often thought of Santa Claus. It seemed like he would came come to me and give me gifts by riding deers. However, when I growgrew up, and one day I went to zoo to see the real deer. I felt so disappointed about its appearance, which is really different with from its look atin cartoons. But, because I usually see deers at on TV, I just tell myself the real deer is very cute and beautiful like that in cartoons.

    Definite article confusion: das geilste vs die scönste? Song lyrics by Discobauern: "Du bist das größte, das geilste, und -die- schönste"? Why is this 'das' for the first two, and 'die' for the last? Aren't they all talking about the same thing?

    live in a house or apartment?why? advantage&disavantage of living in a house compared with apartment

    I tend prefer to live in a house rather than an apartment. Although living in a house is uncommon in my city, living in a house is basically ['generally' or 'mostly' would sound slightly more natural] better than living in an apartment.

    On the top of the advantages of living in a house, there is an essential point I would like to mention: living in a house enables us to have more space, and it is possible to[Consider: "it allows us to" or "we can." The former is better for writing, the latter for chatting with a friend.] extend [not sure what you're trying to say] whenever we desired to want. There is no doubt about that a house is a decent choice for a four or five people person family. We can build different types of rooms according to our needs: Such as a media room for enjoying movies; A collection room to store our precius collections or pictures; A game room which we can share our leisure time with our kids... I am sure this would never be done if we lived in an apartment. [Don't capitalize the words after semicolons.]

    On the other hand, it is considered that [not sure what you're trying to say] most individuals would like to extend or rebuild their home. Instead of moving to a new place, people would rather staying in the old house and make some possible changes. In that case, it's a piece of cake for people who live in a house, although we should think about the budget and how to make our thoughts into realistic. [From a pure writing persepctive, I'd delete this. Language is fine.] However, we could never rebuild the apartment unless we were wealthy enough to buy the whole building.

    For the second advantage of living in a house, I would say it is an absolutely a wonderful decision for someone who is creative. Nowadays, people tend to have their own syle and detest hate to copy others'. In fact, we can constantly change our house style(both inside or outside) anytime we want, whereas there would be only a few things we could do to an apartment. For instance, adding a swimming pool, or planting more trees in the garden...

    Besides, there is also another advantage for living in a house rather than living in an apartment.That is we can invite more friends and organise tons of parties or other activities both indoors and outdoors. Furthermore, we can even arrange a wedding party if our house is vast big enough. All the guests could stay overnight, while they might have to leave before dark if it was an apartment.

    In spite of all this, however, living in an apartment still has some good points. According to the sky-high housing price, buying a house can be tough for publics[?]. But an apartment would be a better choice. And we can never deny living in apartment may be more convenient; as they are more likely found in downtown.

    In conclusion, living in a house makes life more comfortable and enjoyable, but there are some disavantages as well.

    The World Cup

    Usually I'm not very interested in soccer (football?) or any other sport, but this time I'm pretty much watching every single game in the Cup.
    It all started when I watched the Portugal vs Germany match by accident. And I say by accident because I was visiting an aunt at the time, and I couldn't find the fucking remote. Anyway... I thought a few players from the German team were cute (OH, DEAR GOD, THAT GOALKEEPER), and I stuck around long enough to watch it all. And I don't know exactly why I got so... hooked by the game. And I swear it wasn't because of those hot dudes (at least, not entirely).
    Next day Mexico was going to play against Brazil, so of course I watched the hell out of that. It was a draw. But I don't remember any other day where I screamed as much from the excitement.
    Then we got eliminated (again) from the Cup. And that was one of the saddest days of my life.

    Brazil won today against Colombia. The referee was really incompetent, and things got out of his hands [could you mean "out of hand"?] early in the game. Neymar (a Brazilian player) got injured really bad. And I felt terrible watching James "Don't call me James" cry.
    I know I'm rambling a lot now, so I'll get to the point: I HATE YOU, REF.
