Hey there!

Just like the others have said, in North America we call girls who like things that boys typically like "Tom Boys." I don't think that activities should be categorized as being either for boys or for girls, but that's the way many societies operate, unfortunately. I see that you are a new member to the italki community, welcome! My boyfriend is from Lima, too :) Someone else already corrected your passage, but if you ever need help with English in the future, give me a private message on here!

I NEED HELP!!!

Hi everyone!! My teacher got angry and he put a assigned my class a 250 word homework assignment about the ideal attitude of an english student. about writing 250 words of what is. If someone can could correct my work, I would appreciate it 'd be so grateful. Here it is:


The Ideal Attitude of an English Student (It's best not to write a title in all caps, as it does not look professional.)

Well, first of all I need to say that the most i The most important thing is to respect your teacher enough to speak only English while in the classroom. : to talk in English. Of course, if it’s an If you are taking an English class, then you are supposed to speak in English. It’s disrespectful  such an awful thing for the teacher to always have to listen to students talking in their native languages. If you want to speak in Spanish, just get out of leave the classroom or just wait till until the bell rings. I mean, If we one wants to learn something (anything, not just a language) we they NEED to practice it, even if it’s whether it be math exercises, chemical formulas or, in this case, English. The ideal attitude of an An ideal English student is to be always interested in what they can learn about that language. So, If one is not interested in math exercises and willing to learn more about them, we don’t do math exercises, then how we are they going to learn improve? Is the same thing Similarly, with when learning new languages, we need to one must always use them, in our their daily life, so that way we will know they can learn new words easily and we will improve their other language our skills. So, I think that if Since we have the opportunity to use English like five days a week, I believe that we have to must take advantage of that.

Another trait that an ideal English student must have thing is the respect. the Our school and our parents are always saying, to us “Students, You must be respectful with all of towards your teachers because they are helping you to become an excellent person in the future.” and that’s These words are true, as if we want to be someone really important, a better person, we have to do our best. We also need to have a good relationship with our schoolmasters because they’ve studied more for longer and they have more knowledge of the theme topics that we want (and we need) to learn. To conclude, that’s my thought about this, we need to have a better disposition for the attitude towards learning in our English class, because our effort in this class and all of our classes it will impact in our futures and in the persons determine the people that we will become. And, of course, This is helpful because we need to revise how our values are working in order to become 32 good human beings.

Muy bien, Laura! Your passage is a little bit longer than 250 words, though (before and after my corrections). Will your teacher penalize you for going over the word limit? You seem to really like learning English, and you would be a plesure to teach!
