    Do celebrities deserve more privacy than they have now?

    I believe that famous entertainers and athletes should have more privacy than they have now. The following are my reasons.

    First of all, celebrities are just normal people who chose a career in acting, singing or playing sports. Since privacy is a fundamental human right, entertainers and athletes deserve to have privacy too. For example, if you run into a celebrity in a street, I believe that you should ask for permission before taking a picture of them he or she.

    In addition, privacy violating behaviors may cause fetal accidents. The most well known example is Queen Diana who was killed died in a fetal car accident caused by chasing reporters. I think people should learn from this painful lesson, giving the celebrities the privacy that they deserve. more privacy that they deserve.  The way you wrote it, makes it sound like celebrities already have more privacy than they deserve which is the opposite effect you are trying to communicate,.

    Last but not least, famous entertainers and athletes should have the right to make friends, spend time with family and have a relationship. However, these normal social activities are strongly affected by privacy violating behaviors. For example, a celebrity can not spend quality time with his or her kids in a public park without people constantly taking pictures of them. Moreover, a celebrity probably will not take his or her kids to public places in order to protect his or her kids' privacy. In other words, privacy violating behaviors affect not only celebrities themselves but also people surrounding them. There is no way this is right.

    In conclusion, I think celebrities deserve more privacy than they currently have now with no doubts.

    Very good job.  Completely understandable and only a few grammar errors!

    The City View at Night Time

    (I would appreciate it if you could correct my texts below so as to they sound native.)
    Yesterday Last night: It had been a while since I drove in a city. Actually, I just sat on the next to a person who drove, though.


    I realized again how extravagant city lights at night are.

    I again realized how extravagant the city lights are at night.   or

    It was nice to go back home by using different means of transportation.

    Good job.  Just a few little things.

    Could you help me? Please

    Hi, there

    Could you help me with a few questions please?

    1) Let us say your wife/husband goes to work and takes the key to your house along with them. Then , when they(can I use they here yes? they= your wife or husband ) get home, they find you locked out. ..

    Could you say something like

    "you are always pulling that this kind of stunt, are 't you?"?  (I'm using "this" because it is happening now.  If you were talking about it in the recent past, like for example last week, then you could use "that"  If it was the distant past you would want to say "you were always pulling that kind of stunt".)
    or
    "You are always up to those antics, aren't you?" (This sounds OK.  You could also say "You are always up to these...")

    Do they sound odd?. What could you say instead??  (They do sound a little odd, but mostly from the stand point that if I was locked out I would probably use some profanity.)

    2) In a academic paper, do you say "This very well exemplifies why this theory doesn't hold up" or "This exemplifies very well why this theory doesn't hold up"? neither? (I would remove "very well".  "Exemplifies" is a strong enough word that it doesn't need very well.  It's kind of like saying "the more best".  It is already "best" so it can't be "more best")
    3)Finally, let us say you are holding two papers (one belongs to your friend and other to his brother) and you say does it sound odd to say "These are your brother's and yours"? Does it sound odd?  (If both brothers were together I would say, "These are yours." if  you were not making a clear distinction between which brother owned something.  For example if you were talking about shoes, the brothers would know which shoes belonged to which person.  However if it wasn't clear about who got what, then I would say, "These papers are your brother's and these papers are yours."  That way you clearly define who gets what)
    4) Do you say "Historic buildings/monuments/sites/architecture " or "Historical buildings/monuments/sites/architecture
    Thank you very much

    Please, I need help. Please!

    An essay

    In this day and age, charity organizations are a significant part of society. This is confirmed by the fact that each year the government spends a large amount lot of money on funding their activity. Nevertheless, people still discuss which charity organizations should receive this such kind of support. There are a number of arguments proving that some of them need this help more than others.
    It goes without saying that sports and recreation charities should be founded as they play a crucial role in our life. Such organizations undoubtedly have an impact on the health and well-being of hundreds of people. Giving money to these charities would enables them to create more places where everyone can relax and usefully spend their free time . As a result, more people can would cope with the stress better and stay healthier in a simple way. That being said, the whole society could benefit from such funding.
    On the other hand, health charities are also worthy of receiving money from the government. Although we live in the 21st century, there are still many people suffering from cancer or other serious illnesses all over the world and they need a proper but expensive health care. Due to this fact, financial help is necessary and could make patient's life easier. In addition, money may be spent on different researches on for medicines which could be used to fight with mortal life threatening diseases.
    In the light of the above, I firmly believe that health charity is more important for the government to give money to than sports and recreation charity. It is due to the fact that although promoting an active sporty and healthy lifestyle is important, it is more significant to combat existing diseases and to help patients go through a difficult time in their life.

    “Home Shaking “is a tradition in Iranian culture!!!

    Base on the Iranian calendar (solar year) we are in the 12th month of year. The last month isn’t an ordinary month. People are very so active to prepare for the New Year. The shopping malls and bazaar are so crowed. People buy new dresses, shoes, stuffs, nuts and candy (... shoes, nuts, candy, and other stuff). Everyone is All are happy except the men who are worried about money!!! The first day of New Year is the first day of spring. We named it “No-rouz”. That mean No=new and rouz= day. We celebrate Norouz in a special way. I will write about it. Now I want to write about “Home- shaking” tradition (I'm assuming the translation should be "spring cleaning"). In Farsi we say home= Khane and Shaking= Tekani. So “Home- shaking” is equivalent of “Khane- Tekani”. It is a custom to prepare for the New Year by washing and cleaning everything and everywhere in the at home. Housewives direct the activity as director and other members should help to clean house, although men make excuses to and run out and usually don’t help for “Home- shaking”. We wash carpets, blankets, curtains, furniture, refrigerator, stove, and etc. (you don't need "and" if you are using "etc.")
    Last weekend I brought out everything in at the kitchen and cabinets and wash it from top to bottom above to floor. I washed and brought back everything stuffs one by one. The kitchen is shinny now. I did it from in early in the morning until noon. I was so tired the rest of the day. This plan should be done for all the rooms, the yard, the bath and the basement.
    Why do we do spring cleaning? we bother ourselves for “Home- shaking”?
    We believe if we begin the New Year and spring with by a dirty and messy house, that year can’t be a year full of good circumstances.
    I wish the bests for Iranians in New Year.
    Thanks for reading my notebook.
    Thanks for your correction.

    Good job.  Mostly work on using "The" in your sentences.

    16 - Parents and Children

    I am reminded of my childhood and am sad with so much missing. I had great times moments with my cousins, uncles, aunts and a bonding experience with my parents and grandparent (mainly the maternal side). I was raised by my parents with a lot of much love and kindness. It is the In the same way I try to raise bring up my children. I believe that the best way to educate the children is to keep a good and reliable friendship with them. Of course that sometimes you need to be stricter (my wife has this rule) because if you spare the rod, you spoil the child. There are moments that I need to grounded my children but I never spank them as punishment. I am totally against violence and this kind of punishment can change the children’s behavior all of sudden. I live as a nuclear family and I am so thankful to have good parents and good children. Bye !


    Good job with this post!
