Schism

Another beautiful example about of how useful, and at the same time hard, learning a new language can be, it's is the case of Catherine the Great.
When she arrived to in Russia, she promised herself that she would mastered the Russian language., and since then, Every night she walked barefoot, repeating her lessons over and over again, to eventually achieve a good level of russian.
Surely, she had powerful reasons to love that land, such I as have good reasons, not to love it., because You cannot love what you don't know, but at least, to feel curiosity about it.
Maybe, due to the fact that I was born in the corner of the occidental side of the world (almost dangling of it), the stories about far away lands catch capture my attention completely. But, I'm not talking about the current world order nor the recent history. On the contrary, I'm talking about the past. As they say "all the past was better", and I'm agree with that.
In that regard I'd rather prefer listen to stories of lost worlds and almost and forgotten worlds. My imagination vibrates with stories of characters that once time breathed the same air that I breathe, and admired the same sky that I admire.
I admite that I'm not in love with the Russian history nor his it's culture nor even of his it's people men, as Catherine did. Although, I should admit that I feel a certain curiosity about the stories that that the land may maight tell me about its past :)

<em>Hi Bárbara. In this entry there is a more conversational voice in your writing, which allows for less restriction. The best English writing is typically written 'as spoken'. I have also noticed a yearning for travel? I hope you are able to visit the places you are curious about, and learn of those cultures within its lands!</em>

Women's situation in Spain.

In the last 30 to 50 years, one of the aspects more evident in the changes of the in Spanish society is the role that play the women play. Great progress has been made in the field of education. Then Before, 10.04% of all  the feminine population were illiterate; today it is 0.38%. In relation with the secondary education another noticeable change can be seen: , since in the past a 7.89% of the women had access to it and now this rate has increased to a 62.89%. Over the time the amount of feminine students in the university has gone grown from a 3.80% to a 27.16%. The job market is surely where the change has been more most visible for the women. In that time, nearly nine million Spanish women have been incorporated into the world of work. Women held jobs that before they didn't. For example, in the field of public administration the increase of feminine presence is notable. The number of women working in the Congress, the Senate, and the Regional Parliaments has been increased eightfold. But it hasn't all been good for women in work, considering that the gender pay gap is still appreciable in some jobs. Other areas in which women has have experienced changes are the maternity or the and marriage. Not only has change the Birth rate, that has fallen from 1.94 to 1.37; but also the age at which women have children has risen to 31 years; . In regard to the marriage less women get married, and they do it later. If in 1985 the marriage rate was 5.20%, now it is 4.7%; the age of getting married has changed from between 20-24 to 25-29. Before, women couldn't divorce, but because of the divorce laws, approved in 1981, women were able to break a family life that they didn't want. This is evident by the fact that from 1983 to 2004 the number of separations increased by about 300%, and the divorces a to 172%. Further, a progress has been made in the distribution of the housework. While before mostly of women carried out the household chores, presently they are equally divided between men and women; the difference of time that each of them dedicatesd to home was five-and-a-half hours, and now is three hours.

<em>Nice article. A lot has changed in the last 30 to 50 years, globally; not only in regards to women's rights, but in the way we treat those different from us; and even in our personal interactions. Of course, there is still a fight for equality in pay and access to education. Education seems to be the primary driver towards equality and better quality of life.</em>

I need to fall in love with English again

I've been studying English for 1 year. Some Many months ago I was very in love with English. , I had enough to time to study almost 4 hours daily., but afterwards But I had to come back to my studies at the university, so I had did not have enough time to study and practise my conversations skills with another people. Now, I'm in on holidays again. , but actually I`ve been am still a little lazy about practicing English. Sometimes, I feel as if I had to must start form scratch due to I've been without not studying for a long time. Undoubtedly I haven't forgotten all about English. Anyway I'm getting the hang of English, I'm only need to fall in love with English again.

<em>The expression "To fall in love" with a language is correct. The change of "some" to "many" expresses more loss. Terminating conjunctions helps with rythm. Using "But" in the beginning of a sentences intensifies the opposition. The word "must" is a fun word implying necessity, but I don't know how well know it is, and can be changed to "need to". Be careful with using a lot of "have, having" in English. It softens a sentence (makes it feel weaker) because it disperses the syllables (makes the sentence longer). For me "I only need to fall in love . . ." is stronger than "I'll only need to fall in love . . " though the latter may be more correct. </em>

The summer is coming and I want to escape.

I don't hate the summer. , but It's certainly it's not my favorite season. I have a kind of sun allergy am allergic to the sun, and the peruvian summer is pretty sunny., so t  The entire season is stressful, I'm stressed, trying to avoid the sun.

<em>(These edits have a more conversational feel to them).</em>

Also, I have to use tons of sun protector., because My skin can't stand the sun for many time long without me looking like a Dalmation. turning a Dalmatian dog's skin. Ok, I'm overstating, haha, but If I expose myself to the sun, without sun protection, then on my skin gonna appear white patches, orange patches, and brown patches appear. Not immediately, of course. First, I'll be red., t Then tanned., and f Finally, I look like a patchwork handicraft, work hahaha. However, I'm tanned throughout all the year. Even in the winter, when the Lima's weather is cloudy. , because It is pretty slow and difficult leave my tan. When it's almost gone out, the summer is coming comes again, haha.

<em>(Here we use a staccato rythym, which makes the sentences appear more lively. Again, these edits should have a more conversational, anecdotal feel)</em>

Today, is a hot day. I want to escape to a cold place. But do a A summer volunteer program outside is expensive. Maybe, I should travel to Germany, or Spain where some familiars family lives, but I can't pay the plane ticket.... Broke and in summer: bad lucky. But it could be worse: Broke and in summer and without sun protector hahaha.

<em>(Great paragraph and word usage. The rythym is correct here.)</em>

Smells Like Teen Spirit

Questioning the infinity and the human being. , might be a A very entertaining activity, typical of teenagers. However, I'm am most interested in the flavor of childhood. That age, where actually you just live day by day, without any regret or guilty.

<em>(These edits change the flavor of this paragraph and may not be what you are looking for. Bring the reader in with "Questioning" - the reader assumes it is you, could be someone else, create intrigue). Using economy of words to emphasize feeling. Using "I am" versus "I'm" for emphasis.)</em>

When I listened the to that song,<em> Smells Like Teen Spirit</em>,  of the title, there in the 90's (my childish and naive years),  . I used to would often pass often by the outside of a cafeteria, . I looked look inside of it, and watch with envy at I watched to the people between in theirs twenty or thirty years old, twenties and thirties, that gathered there. I believed that that age were was the perfect age, and I eagerly awaited reacheding that age, to be one of them. Nevertheless, Now, I also have many reasons, all of them powerful enough, as to want to be a child again. But Sadly, that is not going to be possible.

<em>(It is possible that the reader may not know the title is a song, so adding the name here could make sense. These edits are meant to bring the reader to that time. To be with you at that moment. May need additional info -> when or why would you often pass by the outside of a cafeteria, or even the name of the cafeteria.)</em>

Life goes on and I should go together with it. , I look forward and do my best to be a better person today than yesterday. I don't know if the passage of the time has ve made me wiser, I just know that they have not it has not made me happier. Anyway, Yearning the past it's also is an entertaining activity, but at the same time, it's a double-edged sword. if you don't know how to handle it. In the most of the cases it's a wrong step that should be avoided.

<em>(Here we conclude. By bring back the "is an entertaining activity" phrase, you have completed a circle. A good technique. "Passage of time" is a metaphor.)</em>
