    (Adding to above...)

    Dear Tess Boutin,

    My name is Henry and i'm the student who you will host. I'm 17 years old and I'm very excited to come to New York; it was my dream when I was a child and it still is also today also. In my family  there are 4 of us and my little brother Paul is very jealous of my travelling (or "travels"). I told him that I will buy him a gift. It's a golden opportunity to go to New York.

    .. I saw the picture of your family and you are all beautiful. It will be the first trip to the United States and I hope that it will be very fun.
    My hobby is playing the guitar, I'm very passionate (sounds strange without "very", or you could say "I'm passionate about it). I would like to bring it with me when I come to your home. I also like American literature and I think it will be a good idea to spend time with in your book club Miss Boutin. My favorite sport is the swimming, I feel good when I'm swimming. It's lets me to destress and to think about other things.

    I would like to see the statue of Liberty; it is a very famous statue in France, we will take a picture together ! I would also like to visit Central Park, I know of this park thanks to a cartoon ! To visit many museums, and get to know many American artists.
    And the must most important thing who i have to do is to improve my English, one of my dreams would be to speak English like a native speaker!
    I hope that we will eat the typical food of New york in restaurants.
    Say hello to all the familly and see you soon!
    Yours sincerely,
    Henry

    Mon premiere essai Bonjour, J'ai déjà étudié le français un an, mais n'ai pas pratiqué parler en personne beaucoup. Donc mon vocabulaire est peut-être mieux que ma parole (alors les deux sont très mauvais). Je viens de italki pour trouver des amis qui aider moi pratiquer le français i.e. partenaires de langue. Avant, j'ai étudié le chinois et trouvé que apprendre un langue n'est pas trés facile. Au moins le français utilise la même alphabet d'anglais. Le chinois n'ai pas d'alphabet, plutôt utilise des caractères chinois, plus de cinq mille. J'ai appris ecrire les premiére trois mille et cinq cent, mais aprés ça je n'ai pas dérangé. C'est les résultats en tombe. (Diminishing returns??)

    Ma famille (S'il vous plait êtes trés strict, je veux ameliorer! La grammaire, l'orthographe, la ponctuation, les accents, tout doit ameliorer.) Ma famille a sis personnes en tout - moi, mes trois fréres, ma mére, et mon pére. Et ma chatte aussi :) Je suis le plus ancienne frére. Le deuxieme frére est trés haut et maigre. Il aime jouer des jeux vidéos et boire d'alcool. Le troisieme frére est particuliérement introverti. Il n'a pas beaucoup amis, mais il est un personne trés doux et sympa. Les amis que il a, ils sont amis trés bons. Il conduis une voiture trés génial aussi. Le quatriéme frére est le bébé de la famille. Il est assez jeune. Aussi il est le plus extraverti de nous. Il participe dans les sports de l'equipe, alors ne souffris pas du maladresse. Ma mére travaile trés fortement. C'est comme elle est l'homme de la famille. Elle monte des chevals á la ferme. Mon pére est un architecte, et il aime regarder les sports sur la télévision - le cricket, les courses d'auto, et autres. Ma chatte est ma membre favori de la famille. Elle est pas cruelle, pas arrogante, pas sévère, pas jugemente. La seule probleme est que j'ai déjà déplacé dehors la maison, donc je ne rends frequement ni la regarde ma chatte. Les autres me manque aussi, je suppose...

    (你好Zoe :D 我事帮一忙)

     

    Why there are more  ("more" implies direct comparison, like "比") images of disasters and violence in the media?

    Nowadays, disastrous and violent images couldan ("could" is hypothetical, "can" is better in this case since it says it's already possible) be seen frequently in the media. This trend is, radically, an outcome of the audience's psychology and directors' trick.

    It is obvious that these images have become popular because people before the small screen (an unusual phrase... you might want to say "on the internet" instead maybe) search for them. When the audience undergo (this word feels strange here) get the visual impact, they feel frightened at first. But in no time, this feeling will be remplaced by excitement and curiosity which keep their eyes on the sceen. Another reason why visual shock is frequent in videos is that TV directors film them deliberatly in order to have a competitive advantage. They insist that without exciting images, it would be too difficult to raise TV ratings.

    However, explosure to violence has a significant effect on children and adults who do not have a high mental quality maturity. There are two ways to solve this problem. First of all, authorities should enhance their censorship on TV, films and other visual media by standarising picture quality and eliminating some illegal images. Also, the time of broadcasting of some stimulating ("objectionable", "controversial", "inappropriate"?) work should be fixed in the late of night to avoid children beeing explosed to it children. (a fixed phrase)

    To sum up, that thrilling images may be a form of entertainment for part of adult audience, but they should be controlled or improved before the broadcast.

    (Hi Steph, great work. Doing well :D I've deliberately been harsh to give more feedback.)

     

    A BOOK

    I'm reading a book in english and i can understand it enough easily enough (when using 'enough' with adverbs or adjectives, remember to put it after. e.g. strong enough, good enough, well enough, etc. It only goes before when used with a noun e.g. enough sugar, enough wood, enough goodness :/ ). But when i want to speak, it's very difficult for me. This book is a thriller of Connelly ("by Connelly" if he/she is the author). It's the story of a detective who searches for the murderer of a girl killed twenty years ago. But he also investigates also on a drop the fall (it's just usually called a fall rather than a drop) of a man to find if it's a suicide or if someone pushed him. It's a good book and i recommend it.

    My very busy next weekend

    I will be very busy at the end of this week.

    Tomorrow evening, I'll invite my boyfriend to the restaurant for his birthday. This morning, I booked at a french gastronomic restaurant. Hope he will like it. Food critics are very positives about the cook.

    On Saturday morning, I'll help one of my friends to move house. I'm a little bit sad, because she was my neighbour for 2 years ago.
    On Saturday afternoon, I'll go to the hairdresser. I'll get cut my hair and try a new brazilian hair care treatment. After that, I'll take have a drink with my friends. And, Saturday night, I'll be go to the cinema with my boyfriend.

    Sunday morning, if the weather is nice, I'll do some walking in the park because I love the colours of this season: the red, yellow, green and brown of all the leaves. And, on Sunday afternoon, I'll go to the Maison Européenne de la Photographie. Situated in the historic heart of the capital, this museum is dedicated to photography and contemporary creation.
