Activities
My first iTalki lesson
So today I had my first lesson with an iTalki community tutor. He told me that my English was pretty good and we had a really interesting conversation. The main reason I decided to go for take a lesson was because I wanted to see how good or bad my English was because I'm having an interview on Monday. I think it is not as rusty as I believed, I still have to improve my grammar while speaking, but it that is not a big deal.Great writing Ovidio! Your English is really good :)

The Truman Show is an American comedy-drama about Truman Burbank,
an insurance salesman whose life has always been a non-stop reality TV show since his birth.
He has a very ordinary life with a model wife, good friends, in a wonderful neighborhood until Truman accidentally bumps into an area backstage and start to becomes suspect suspicious. His hometown is just a huge set and all the people around him are actors playing a paper part. Its This discovery and other facts like that the same people walking every day by the same site and other repetitive events make him suspect that his life is being controlled and he tries to find out the truth at any price the truth. The director and creator of the show who is known as Christo, and he tries to avoid in all possible ways the escape of Truman but finally the viewers celebrate the escape of Truman, while his true love Sylvia quickly leaves her apartment to meet him.
Although the plot follows a fun line has its has brush strokes of love and drama. The movie is starring by stars Jim Carrey and Laura Linney and is inspired in a science-fiction thriller. What I liked the most was the implicit message, I would say that the first thing that comes to your mind after watching the movie is the reason of for our existence, and what role we are playing in each of us in our life lives.
I strongly recommend this movie, not only because you will have the opportunity to have a fun time, but because it will make you reflect if you are also an actor going on performing a script.Another great piece of writing Javier! Well done! I've seen The Truman Show twice and agree that it's a really good movie :) Did you know that the director of The Truman Show is called Peter Weir, and he was born and lives in Sydney, Australia (where I'm from!). I actually met Peter Weir's son and become friends with him! Such a small world, haha, and now Peter lives about fifteen minutes away from me! Pretty cool, right!?

I want to learn as many languages as I can, but I actually I don't have enough time or resources for to learning. I'm learning Chinese with a book and I think that I'm not ready to have a conversation, because I'm just starting. I have a good English level because of the video games and I can read in Japanese and Korean. I read it like a young child, but I can read it... I always try to learn how to pronunciate pronounce it in a language the best way I can, and then I start to learn grammar and vocabulary. I'd like to learn French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, Dutch, Russian, Greek, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. I think it's too much, but I don't know, I'm just 16, so I have a lot of time to learn.Good luck with your language learning! :)

Seven months ago I adopted a dog from the street, who I called him Simón. He has the most grateful eyes that I have ever seen. His hair is brown and his ears are black (I'm in love with this these details).
With the vet, we supposse that he is 1 year old, a puppy, and I know it because he is very active and playful.
I love when he is waiting for me after a long day at the college or at the hospital (where I do the practices).
My life turned 360 degrees after I met him. I had to take on some responsabilities responsibilities and cares duties, but I'm grateful for that it.
And I know it.. He is the most loyal friend that exists!Glad you've found a beautiful, loyal puppy! :D Great writing!

There were two bands of children in the neighborhood. It was summer time; no internet, no TV, with long hot afternoons after naps. This meant a lot of time in the street until it was dinner time and all kinds of games for children with bad ideas to who get bored [easily]. We needed more exciting games, perhaps more real, more violent .. Why not more bloody, like as a battle of stones between two rival gangs?
So every afternoon was agreed a battle of stones was agreed to. How exciting! A good way to finish the a bored boring summer's day and also a good topic of conversation for the next day about the number of stones received.
One day someone from the rival gang screamed in a brutal way after receiving a stone, and we celebrated the victory. The others did not attack, they were all around the injured child. When we went to see what it had happened, one of the others asked who had thrown the stone, but none of us said anything. Someone pointed out to me and nobody said otherwise, so I said that I had not been, but the culprit was already taken. I ran home crying and feeling like the world's baddest worst child. Among a cloud of stones mine had beaten in a the head of an enemy.Again, great work, Javier!
Not sure what you mean by this though?

Hello again.
I leave you the second part of the description I wrote before.
Then she left the house, and had two children. Lina decided to make time to take care of her forthem. It was not that she wanted to do it, but he thought it was something a good woman had to do.
Time passed, and the quiet babies turned into restless boys. Her marriage had not been happy - she felt the distance between her and her husband growing - however, currently her husband seems to be different, more abscent, more quiet.
Her mother Patricia was sick. O0 votedJanuary 27, 20171We have more means of communication, but we communicate less effectively
No one would dispute the fact that currently in our modern society there is are a lot of means of communication accessible for to everyone, but it is also true that communication between people in this stressful world we live in grows increasingly colder. Despite this, however, it would be wrong to argue that this implies a lack of intensity in communication with family and true friends.
Firstly, evidence seems to suggest that sometimes the time we spend using our smartphone talking to our friends and family is greater than the real time we are with them. It is generally agreed that making a phone call to a friend in the last moment can be an excuse or pretext for not visiting him. It is difficult to accept the idea of sending a birthday greeting text message to someone in order to avoid an enthusiasm that you are not really feeling.
However, there is no doubt that today's means of communication are based on a good telecommunications network worldwide. For this reason we are able to communicate effectively and fast from the remotest places, and we can also see the person with whom we are talking. Another advantage in modern communication and perhaps the most important is the low cost, which means that a lot of people can afford to communicate with family and friends although they are in the other another part of the world.
Finally, it is true to some extent that sending a text message is a tool to avoid having a conversation, not a tool to have one. If there is a situation where you ask a question to get a quick answer, or just need to inform someone of something, texting is perfect. "What time do I need to pick you up?"
To conclude, nowadays keeping in touch through the means of communication between members of the same family or friends is much more usual than a decade ago, which makes you feel less emotions when the phone rings. However that does not mean we do not wish to receive a phone call from a dear relative or friend. Besides the constant and accessible communication contributes to family or friendships ties do not end up in break. Regarding sending a message, the problem is not so much about sending a message, but that people seem not to know when they have to call, send a message, an e-mail, text, send smoke signals, etc.You write English superbly, Luis! Great work!
My only question is, what did you mean by what I've highlighted in bold?
