E-mail based on prompts

Dear Friend,

I’m writing to thank you for your invitation. How could I say no? I’m so glad to know that you will be part of the fantastic musical festival. I guess you must be a little nervous. It is normal, but don’t worry, because I will be there, and remember that you have good friends.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to arrive get there on Friday, but on Saturday I can be with you all day and share with you we can do all the different activities that you mentioned me in your last e-mail. and I would like to know the cost of tickets to festival. Also, how much do the tickets for the festival cost? 

I know we will have fun that day.

Speak to you soon.

Fer.

<em>Fernando, very good job. There were only a few small things that I had to correct. Just remember to use "because" and "and" in the appropriate places to make compound sentences. Also, I changed "arrive" to "get there" because in this context we would say "I won't be able to get there on Friday." (in American English) The phrase "share with you the different activites" doesn't really make sense. The way we say this is "we can do the different activites (together)". When asking the price of something, we say "How much does it cost" instead of "What is the price of it".</em>

A description of a place you have visited

Seville is a city in the south of Spain. It is located near of the banks of Gualdaquivir River. Seville is the chief town main city of Andalusia.

Seville is a pretty city, with tours that offer you a different way to visit the place city. But if you enjoy walking, this city is the best option to admire the landscapes. In every corner you can find restaurants which offer you “TAPAS” (little pieces of food like Serrano ham) that you can enjoy in the open part of every restaurant.

Interesting cultural places to see are the cathedral, which is the biggest in Spain, the “Reales Alcazare”, and “Plaza de España”.

I personally recommend going to visit Spain, especially Seville at the beginning or at the end of summer, because in August it could be very hot and in December the weather is very cold.

My English language evaluation......

It will would be great if someone corrects could correct this notebook entry, as I consider think of it as the first evaluation for of my English language here in on this website. But, unfortunately, I don't know what to write. But I can try to say something. For example, I'm writing this notebook entry using my phone and I'm watching the television in at same time. I wish I can could find the correction fast because I'm really excited.

Thank you in advance;

My first time

Yesterday I made the had my first web conversation with a new italki friend, it was so interesting so and exciting!!!! I called from Italy, and he is from New Jersey!
So, I took a look some time to think about technology, and today everything seems so normal, but it isn't ...
People say a lot of bad things about the web but they don't understand how powerful the web is. powerful ...
I'm 53 years old and I remember the school research on in paper encyclopedias, the difficulty to call each other: if something happened (car crash, out of gas, for example, etc.) you had to find a phone booth. And you had not phone token, sure. (??? Not sure what you are trying to say here) Now you have your masterpiece wonderful handyphone smartphone, so the web is right in your hands. It only takes one second to find rescue, help or what whatever you need!
I belong to an other another generation, but I love technology so much. I love so much the news so much. 
I belong to an other older generation, it's true, but I try to maintain the young mind and heart and I wonder how when I was a child. (??? Not sure what you are trying to say here)
So I live at peace in my current time, I don't regret my past but I love the future.
Am I too much optimistic? I can't live in any other way.
Maybe my electronic watch ... has stopped!

<em>Very nice job, Stefano! There were some small things that I corrected, but it was overall very good. If you have any questions about what I corrected, please feel free to ask!</em>

New Year resolutions for the new year

Hello guys, 

Let's talk about new year resolutions when as the new year comes approaches. Every year, when the new year is coming, everyone takes makes a new resolution, or many new resolutions. However, who keep this (these) resolution(s)? I think just a few people.

My new resolutions for 2016 are, firstly learns to learn english, secondary secondly learns learn how to play guitar and thirdly takes take a course to succeed in the ACCA English exam.

But why we don't don't we keep ours new resolutions? As far as I'm concerned, we take a tough project it is a difficult task. The kind of project task that we don't have the courage to do in the on a typical day, and we always end up putting it back. Whoever says " ok I'll start or do it tomorrow. I get have a lot of time for that".

That's what I said about my English level until the day this level slapped me in the face at my job. As a result, you have to think twice before to you put things off until tomorrow, what when we can do them today, especially if you can take advantage of this;


What are you new year resolutions? Have you ever taken made a resolution and keep kept it ? (For this question, can I say: Do Did you ever taken make a resolution and keep it ? or Did you ever taken make a resolution and keep it? Had Have you ever taken made a resolution and keep kept it? Why or Why not)

Thanks for you explanations.

<em>When talking about New Year's resolutions, you use the verb "to make", not "to take", so you "make a resolution", not "take a resolution."</em>
<em>When asking if someone has made a resolution and kept it, you would usually use the present perfect tense, which is "I have made, you have made, we have made, etc.", or you could use the past tense and say "Did you ever make a resolution and keep it", but you have to keep the same tense throughout, so if you use the present perfect tense, you must say "Have you ever made a resolution and kept it?". You use "kept" instead of "keep" because "kept" is the past particle, which is the form of a verb that you use with the present perfect tense. And if you just use the past tense, you say "Did you ever make a New Year's resolution and keep it". I hope this helps!</em>

Merry Christmas & Happy YALDA Night!

Iranians celebrated six nights ago because of the longest night of the year.
In Iran, all members of a family come together and stay up together until midnight. They prepare all kinds of fruits and nuts for this night, especially watermelon and pomegranate.
This night is called YALDA Night.
Yalda rooted in at least 4000 years ago in Iranians culture.
Orientalists belive that the Christmas ceremony was taken from this Iranian tradition and there is much strong evidence to prove that.
Iranian new year starts at the beginning of spring.
The day that night length and day length is equal.
