Writing is like a muscle!

Today, a quote on the internet caught my attention. I read it in French but here is the translation: "Writing is like a muscle, it get improved by improves with practice". I spent a few minutes thinking about it and I figured out that it's really true!

The best writers in the world weren't gifted that skill. On the contrary, they put a lot of energy and time in to their writing until they achieved their level.

<em>For some reason in English we always say "time and energy" rather than "energy and time", it will sound more natural if you do it that way.</em>

Maybe becoming a great writer isn't my goal for the moment, but I WANT to developp my writing skills in English. That's why I made a decision: I WILL write an entry daily here on Italki and see how this experience will be.

<em>This isn't wrong, but I would say "I WILL write an entry every day here ...."</em>

I would like to thank in advance all the people who will correct my texts!

<em>Correct my "posts" rather than texts is probably a more natural thing to say in English.</em>

Please correct my sentences :)

For example:

I faced her with all the facts. 
My mother wanted me to extinguish the candle.
My friend was abandoned by his grilfriendgirlfriend. <em>Probably just a typo.</em>
My friends forsook me.
I was forsaken by my friends.

<em>While these are correct, no one really uses forsook or forsaken in daily language - only in books.</em>

I'm interested in all kind of stuff that refers to the nature.

<em>I'm interested in all kinds of stuff that refer to nature.</em>

<em></em>OR

<em>I'm interested in everything about nature.</em>

Sherlock

Samedi, 2 Janvier 2016

Aujourd’hui, il faisait très chaud, donc nous ne voulons pas etre dehors. Ma femme aime l’emission qui s’appelle “Sherlock” donc elle a acheté trois billets pour le nouvelle film. Ma plus jeune fille ne voulait pas voir le film donc je appelais ma mere et je demandais si elle pouvais garder lui.

à environ 9h30 nous partions et que nous conduisions de la maison de ma mere. Ma plus jeune fille restait ici et que nous conduisions de le cinema. Avant le movie commençais, je achetais deux bouteilles de coke zero et des petit pain donc nous pouvions mange durant le film.

L’histoire continue le series “Sherlock” mais c’est dans les années 1890’s pas aujourd’hui. Le film commence avec inspector LaStrade disait eux sur un sujet bizarre. Une femme qui est porter une robe de mariage a se tirer et est mort. Plusieurs heures plus tard, lui turait son mari. Sherlock et Watson ne faire pas resoudre cette casse.

Plusieurs mois plus tard, Sherlock Holmes et John Watson ont un rendez-vous avec une femme qui s’appele “Lady Carmichael”, avec un casse bizarre. Son mari est tres peur apres il voyait la fantome de la femme qui porter la robe de mariage.

Je ne veux pas reveler l’intrigue, mais je pense que le film est tres bonne est si vous aimez le series “Sherlock” vous ne serez pas déçue.

My Couchsurfing profile (well, this is a good exercise too :)

I have lived in Lyon since for about two years, and I really love this city! Previously I grown grew up in the region of Tours then I lived in Nice, Toulouse and Paris.

I'm trying to speak more fluent English more fluently so that I can work et and share with people from the whole world. So I wish I could would like to speak English with you if you are willing to, even if sometimes you will have to be patient :).

My roommate welcomed invited two couchsurfers to stay with us, with whom, in the end, I spentd some time chatting, and with the second one making helping her discover Lyon . 

(We almost never use the word "whom" in English any more, though it is still understood. I would change the previous statement to be something like the following:

"My roommate invited two couchsurfers to stay with us. I spent some time chatting to both of them including helping one of them to discover Lyon.")

I really liked sharing doing this, and also receiving and hanging around with people (While this is correct, it would be more natural to say - "I really liked helping her, as well as spending time and talking with new people".

So I have decided to reactivate my CS account!

What I Can Share With Hosts Guests:
Making Helping them to discovering Lyon, including the best places to see and nice some great bars :).

Thanks for correcting me!
