Oh wow!

Wow. Deryck was great: his help has really encouraged me and I feel grateful.
Now, the first question I ask myself is how to procede in proceed with my practice: a matter of method, I suppose. By now, I have read the correction and I have copied all the mistakes on my notepad. On my notepad I wrote the correct form first; then I wrote my mistaken one and I cancelled it; now I'm keeping both the error and the correction in mind, in order to correct myself while writing.
My purpose is to try to create specific exercises for correction and improvement: I could write some sentences with the same words and expressions, in order to practice the correct form.
I think that it will not be enough to re(a)peat the same sentences in the correct form: I need also to practice that form in different sentences and - most important - I really need to grab the meaning of my mistake and the rule I must learn about it.
I will think about it for a while, then I will let you know how it's going on.
Thanks again by for now and... oh, I have already written my second text. Goodbye, see you soon!
PS: in this note I use the verb "to copy" in the -ed form; I spell it "copi-ed"; in my previous note I used "to enjoy" in the -ed form and I spelled it "enjoi-ed": it was wrong. I try to form and to remember the rule: when the verb ends with "y" and you add "-ed", if the last letter before "y" is a vowel "y" doesn't change; if the last letter before "y" is a consonant, "y" changes in "i". To copy -> copied; to enjoy -> enjoyed.

A message to a classmate

I registered in on an open online course: this is a message to a classmate of mine. I'm writing to ask about her studies.
"Hello xxxxxx, how are you? My name is Paola.
I see that we are classmates at on the same Reading course. How are you doing with your studies?
I like the course and I enjoy the reading and the quizzes. I find it harder to join the discussions and to fulfill the assignments because I'm not used to writing in English. I think that I'll start at some point, the sooner the better. How about you? Good day, Paola".

No other correction is necessary.  Ben fatto!

Hello Everybody!

Hi! I'm Ombretta from Italy. I'm looking for a friend (or friends)to practice my English for working and professional use purposes.

Cell phones have changed the way we communicate…

A great issue of influence in our lives and behaviour is the cell phone. Everybody has at least one as a tool that should help in our private and business life. Within seconds we are able to get in touch with our friends, make arrangements with them or just talk with them comfy from the comfort of our couch without leaving our house. The same goes for the communication in our work, because we can easily make appointments with others, clear things within seconds and also get answers quickly. Although, that can also be a cures curse, since we are always available for others and are never able to let go of avoid the stress. Moreover we are sure of the fact that everyone is at all times achievable contactable for us and secure there for us, as we can´t think anymore of the possibility to of switching off the cell phone off. Thus, we can effortlessly communicate with others, but mostly we forget that we are also unable to do nothing and just relax from the technology.

Another assignment that I had to do for my writing lesson.

Bonjour.  Je recherche une personne qui peut m'aider améliorer mon français.  J'en suis rouillé, manque de pratique parce que en ce moment je n'ai pas de correspondants français et donc je ne l'utilise qu'en vacances.
