    Saving Private Ryan

    On the film poster we can see soldiers and they look like determined to fight and kill to survive; they want to defend their country. On th opening scene, we can see an old man who limps <em>(or "who is limping")</em>. He is at an American cemetery that honours the American troops who died in Europe in WW2. <em>(or "during WWII")</em> The landing scene on Omaha Beach: there are soldiers on boats, their hands are shaking, they are praying. The soldiers look tense, they must be afraid but they must fight for their lives, they will help each other.
    In this film, American soldiers are considered as heroes because in spite of fear, they are brave and determined to win the war.

    Thank you :)

     

    <em>Bien fait! Au dernier phrase, le verbe "considered" n'est pas incorrect, mais dans ce contexte la meilleure expression en anglais serait "portrayed".  Le verbe "to portray" est l'equivalent de "peindre" ou "représenter" ou "faire le portrait sous les traits de" en français. </em>

     

    <em>Comme l'autre gars a dit, l'orthographe des certains mots qui termine en "our" est different entre les Américains et les Canadiens/Australiens/Anglais. A l'orthographe britannique, on inclue la lettre "U". Par exemple:</em>

     

    <em>British / American</em>

    <em>honour / honor</em>

    <em>colour / color</em>

    <em>valour / valor</em>

    <em>harbour / harbor</em>

    <em>candour / candor</em>

     

    <em>Termaisons "ise/ize"</em>

    <em>civilise / civilize</em>

    <em>civilisation / civilization</em>

    <em>organise / organize</em>

    <em>organisation / organization</em>

    <em>specialise / specialize</em>

    <em>specialisation / specialization</em>

     

    <em>Termaisons "re/er"</em>

    <em>metre / meter</em>

    <em>centre / center</em>

    <em>fibre / fiber</em>

    <em>theatre / theater</em>

     

    <em>Termaisons "ce/se"</em>

    <em>offence / offense</em>

    <em>defence / defense</em>

    <em>licence / license</em>

     

    <em>Et il y a d'autres . . .</em>

    Holiday

    Holiday in my country means "Liburan". It is the a day when people rest and relax. For some people, they spend their holiday to visiting relatives, friends, or colleagues. For the others, they spend it by just staying at home, reading a novel, watching movies, or listening to musics. Somehow, whatever you do, you need to think that the farthest thing in the world is the past. So don't spend your time with the things you would regret in the future.

    Please correct my writing :)
    I really appreciate it.

     

    <em>It is the day = a specific day of which there is only one</em>

    <em>It is a day = one day of possibly many</em>

    The struggle is so real

    Do you guys know that feeling? The feeling of being unsure of what you want to do? This is my struggle today. I woke up feeling a little sick due to the antibiotics I'm taking at the moment. ( got stitches and they are infected :( ) Since it was a little grey out (so it seemed) I downloaded a new season of Friends. I wanted to stay in bed to watch my series and do nothing. But I realised I needed some food to go with my chill session and went to the supermarket. The MOMENT I stepped outside it was so warm and sunny I immediately felt bad for wanting to stay inside. So now im sitting on my couch looking outside at the most beautifull weather whilst watching television and a paused episode of friends.

    First world problems..

     

    "Watching television" = watching a program on television

    "Looking at my television" = looking at the machine, which could be on or off. Perhaps your television is a beautiful piece of furniture and you are admiring its construction.
