Keep the planet safe
The global warming is a big problem that all of us should take into consideration if we want a better world. Everyday we can see how the pollution damages the environment and fauna and flora are being destroyed. So, what can we do to resolve these problem?
First of all, we have to reduce the CO2 emissions. For example, if everybody goes to work by bus instead of the by car we will cut down the car’s CO2 emissions. And It could be even better if we choose a bicycle or we just go walking.
Secondly, the rivers and seas need more attention. Generally, people use to throw things out regardless of what happens with to the animals which are living there.
Another point is the recycling*. Glass, paper and plastic must be recycled by everybody. For instance, we can take a bag with us when we go to the shop in order to not buying use** plastic bags.
To sum up, I believe that we can change the world by recycling and keeping rivers and seas clean. However, I would say that go walking everywhere is my best advice.* This sentence is awkward. A simple change would be: "Another issue is recycling." but I think I would say something like: "Another way to help our planet is by recycling."
** I only changed this one because of a cultural disconnect. In the United States we don't purchase the bags and it would not make sense to most US citizens who have not traveled to Europe.
This is very good Advanced writing. You are able to talk about abstract topics in a way that the average native speaker would understand easily. Good job.

Today, I bought an Oxford dictionary at the secondhand bookstore.
I found it by chance When while I was browsing some English books.
The Oxford dictionary is all written in English, so it's not easy for me to read.
However, it's interesting to read. I'm going to read it again after taking a bath.
Is Oxford dictionary famous in your country?This is very good. Some sentences are awkward but it is comprehensible. The main problem is word order. The oxford dictionary is a very common dictionary in the United States, one of several common brands.

How is everything? What's the weather like? Over Here, it is a bit chilly and windy. Yesterday it had been was raining cats and dogs.
On Friday my daughter and I celebrated her birthday. She turned 7 years old. We went to pizzeria and I bought her a small keyboard (*). Her dad came only for two hours and then he left very quickly.
Yesterday as it was a bit chilly we walked a bit outside. As for today, I went to church in the morning than I made pancakes and some Russian salad.
From next week my working day will be a bit shorter. I will work till 3 pm so I will be back home early.
Starting June 1 I am going to have a long holiday.
I hope to get good news from you soon.This is very good and easy to understand.
* this sentence is awkward because it seems you bought her the keyboard at the pizzeria. I suggest: We celebrated her birthday by going to a pizzeria. I gave her a small keyboard.

I have insisted on to listening to videoes about 2 weeks in everyday twice a week (?). It can really help your spoken and listening English. It is a good way to learn English, you're better to start with some simple videoes or some eassy English songs and studying them step by step.
You are doing well. However, I see a pattern of errors with singular and plural, maybe that is something you can study. Keep it up!

En la última década hemos experimentado una sequía ligera pero constante. Aunque tenemos presas y canales de irrigación enfrentamos una possible crisis cuando se acabe el suministro de agua. Mientras la sequía es una causa del posible crisis otra causa es nuestras prácticas en cuanto a paisajismo del terreno alrededor de nuestras casas. Se debe mayormente de la práctica de mantener grandes campos de césped que tenemos que regar a menudo durante el verano. Césped requiere una gran cantidad de agua para mantenerse verde y lujoso durante los veranos calientes y secos aquí en el desierto. Ya con cada casa en un barrio regando sus jardines estamos usando mucho más agua que lo necesario. Para mantener nuestros jardines en el futuro con el crecimiento de la comunidad necesitaremos construir más presas y más capacidad en el sistema hidrológica para proveer el agua necesario. Es una propuesta muy costosa pero hay alternativas. Hay varias opciones para reducir nuestras necesidades. Primeramente, se puede quitar las plantas que requieren mucha agua y sembrar a cambio plantas que necesitan menos. Existe una gran variedad de plantas en las tiendas botánicas que son atractivas y que necesitan menos agua. Adicionalmente, podremos quitar el césped y en vez cultivar una cobertura del suelo menos costoso. Esto parece extremo y va en contra de las tradiciones anglosajonas hasta un punto que algunas personas no lo harán. Aquellas personas, en muchos casos pueden reducir su uso de agua regando solo cuando sea necesario. Regando menos el césped pondrá raíces más profundas y el césped será más resistente a períodos sin agua. No se puede mantener césped sin regar pero la necesidad será menos. Tal vez no podremos evitar la eventualidad de construir mas presas pero por lo menos podremos extender el plazo reduciendo nuestra sed tan tremenda.May 24, 201550
- Un genio en una botella ¿Qué harías si encontraras un genio en una botella? Espero que algún día yo encuentre un genio en una botella. Es posible que esté explorando un mercado en algún rincón de África cuando un vendedor me ofrezca "un obsequio especial." Imagino que me pida un precio muy alto y que tenga que regatear mucho para llegar a un precio aceptable. Pediré que mis amigos me den sugerencias que pedir. Es probable que mi amigo Todd me diera la sugerencia pedir una motocicleta. Mi esposa me diría con mucho cariño que deba pedir que el genio nos elimine nuestras deudas. Pero no creo que sea suficiente tan solo eliminar las deudas, sino que sea mejor pedir una cantidad más grande para que tengamos algo para nuestra jubilación. Aún que sea divertida soñar así, dudo que me pase algo tan dichoso. Mejor que me complazco con el trabajo y una vida sencilla. Gracias por corregir mi escritura, me estoy retando usar el subjuntivo porque es algo que no domino lo suficiente.May 17, 201570
Life Now or In The Past
Hello everybody!
Personally, I think that life now is more easier and more complicated at the same time. If we talk about the life in suburbs, In the past, although there was not this massive development in the technology, people were much closer to each other and social life was better. Furthermore, a hundred years ago, people had a simple life with simple houses, they where farmers who had used primitive instruments for food, drink and their lifestyle. Moreover, they were contentment had enough, which made the smile had not leave remain on their lips.Unfortunately, nowadays, life in suburbs became more muddy(I don't understand), farmers left their works and left their farms, and went to the town searching for the money, besides, they cliff agriculture land mercilessly(don't understand). Definitely, there are huge reasons which lead them to do this, but, as a result, the country has lost a large areas of agriculture land. (Alternatively you could say large portions of land)
In conclusion, I think that government should pay attention to find solutions quickly, as much as if possible.

I like to take pictures. I take pictures of my friends, nature and of myself. Can I say "I didn't take a picture of you". Or I should say "I did't take a pic"?(First one is better) When I was yonger I took a lot's of selfies, but now I don't like to, not because I look worse than I used to. I just think that it looks stupid, when people take a picture of themselves everywhere. If I made mistakes please correct me.
Nice job, the errors you have made can be difficult.
