- Todavía y ya Cuando era niño, quería visitar a Africa. Aunque ya fui a Marruecos, siento como todaviá no lo conociera de verdad. Cuando tenía 27 años, todavía no había tomado una sola clase de español. Hoy en día, me puedo defender bien en español, pero todavía hay mucho que aprender. Me encantaría conocer más de España. Ya visité a Barcelona, Sevilla y Tarifa (y unas de las islas de rumbear), pero todavía no he ido a las partes más montañosas. Ya desayuné, pero todavía tengo ganas de comer más.November 13, 201640
- De vuelta a Inglaterra Finalmente, después de casi dos años viviendo en Colombia, he vuelto a mi tierra. Entre muchos miedos que corren a través de esta transicíon, lo más preocupante es: ¿me voy a perder el español? Aprender español tan exitosamente en dos años me ha enseñado lo posible del mundo. Cuando estés en un ambiente en que aprender una nueva destreza no sea unicamente una necesidad, sino algo que gozas, desarrollarse se hace mucho más fácil. ¿Que tan más dificil será seguir utilizandolo ya que no es necesario ni sencillo prioritizar? En todos casos, ojalá que yo halle una forma de mantener el aprendizaje y que no me pierda mis habilidades con este lenguaje tan bonito!July 20, 201640
Go Back to Being Voiceless on Social Networks
Nowadays, I have to say that it’s easy to destroy a stranger’s life just by (writing) a couple of words through on the Internet. You may think it’s impossible., but yes actually it’s just the power of words and how cyber bullying works. Here is a true story.
“I’m sorry, but I decided to leave the world after deep consideration. Don’t persuade me to live. I just hope it won’t be too painful.” This is what a boy had posted on a micro-blog to live-broadcast the process of his suicide because of some emotional problems. But what shocked impressed me most was the reaction and comments of the netizens. “You deserve to die.””Come on! Actions speak louder than words.””Are you dead yet?” His micro-blog was filled with these kinds of comments and many people even gave a like so that finally he gave up the last hope of life.
It’s just one case of cyber bullying that shows how the netizens killed a hopeless boy piece by piece, carelessly and easily. In fact, there are many similar stories of cyber bullying happening in our lives every single day and having hurt many people. One person who can easily lose their own judgment and be affected by personal feelings will not cause a tragic result alone, but thousands of people together will. It’s tragic to see people who don’t know the truth spread rumors, flame egg on others and go along with offensive ideas.
Social networks were supposed to give a voice to voiceless people, but now it’s different. So when you have no idea about what is actually happening, just do not give your opinions and go back to being voiceless. It’s the smartest way to survive in this society.0 votedFebruary 20, 20161- Si tuviera... Siempre pienso: si tuviera más ganas, podría aprovechar mi tiempo libre y ser más feliz. Ganas, sin embargo, no se ponen con un interruptor. Hay que despertarse cada mañana con cosas programadas y intenciones para cumplir. Tal vez si tuviera más dinero, las ganas de salir de la casa y adventurar por la ciudad me vendrían más facilmente, ya que no tendría ningunos obstaculos. Tal vez si mi novia no tuviera un trabajo tan exigente, nos sentiríamos libres para hacer planes más fijos para los fines de semana. Al fin y al cabo, soy mi mismo obstrucción. Si realmente quisiera gastar menos tiempo en la casa, podría hacerlo.February 13, 201630

Greetings!
Hi! This is my first written practice. I'm excited.
I've practiced for one month. I think I have an intermediate level, but I need to improve it. I want to take the IELTS exam. I must get an 8 in order to get a Visa and go to Canada. I'm from Colombia, and I have so many expectations and dreams that I'm going to make come true!!!
The motivation that I have I have many motivations to learn English. First, I want to do it because of me, I want to demonstrate to everybody that I can, I want to live a better quality of life, to have a better health system, and better opportunities!0 votedFebruary 4, 20161Good luck finding a language partner Thiago.

Hey, everybody!
I'm Thiago from Brazil. I have been studying English and I really want to improve it. If you can help me I will be very happy. I can help anyone with Brazilian Portuguese.
Well, in the near future I've been planning to live abroad, so I have to get ready for this.
That's all for now.0 votedFebruary 4, 20161- Not always true, but in this sentence "rocks" should lose the s and be the singular "rock" However, this is because of the article "a", not the reason you stated. For example: "There is a big, green tree over there". (1 tree, so singular) "There are thousands of big, green trees over there". (More than 1 tree, so plural).0 votedFebruary 2, 20160
