Laura est gentille et patiente avec moi. Malgré l'interruption de connexion, elle est restée si patiente et a fait son mieux de s'exprimer en français. Franchement, son niveau de français est bien, en plus, elle parle aussi couramment espagnol et s'intéresse à la culture exotique. On s'entend toujours bien et discute de tout. C'est une dame anglaise intelligente et cultivée.

Elle a un esprit ouvert et voit les choses d'une façon différente. Elle a une grande passion de la culture francophone, et a même fait la recherche des informations à propos de ce sujet. J'aimerais bien continuer d'en parler avec elle, mais chaque fois le temps passe vite. Merci pour le partage de tes pensées.

Laura a écrit une introduction sur le monde francophone. C'est très intéressant. De plus, elle aime discuter de toutes les choses. Je me sens toujours à l'aise pendant la leçon. :)

    About non-traditional family units.

    Nowadays the conception of traditional family is changing. It is possible to find different models of non-traditional family  units that were unthinkable one generation ago.
    First, people don´t stay with the same partner all their life.  As a result the members of the families are dispersed and likely don´t have the same bonds. Others aspects are the increasing number of mix-raced and gay married families.
    I want to write about a  well-known family,   She was a single mother.  When she was twenty-five she got married to a separated African man with one son of twenty years old.. Her daughter was ten years old.
    The relation was perfect but they couldn´t have their own sons, as they were too old. They took a decision to adopt a  ten year old child from the Ukraine.
    Currently, the relationship between the children is fantastic therefore they are step-brother with different nationalities. People's attitude towards that family are completely acceptable and the children don´t have any problem with integration into Spanish society.
    In conclusion: As result of globalization, the society is changing very quickly and every day you can find divers non-traditional families, which will become traditional families in the near future.

    Carlos, I think you want to remove the non-traditional since you are showing us different models which your conclusion states will become the norm in the future . I am not sure what you want to say about the relationship between the step-brother and sister (and the one from the Ukraine).  I would write something like the relationship between the children is wonderful despite their different nationalities/original cultures.

    Non  traditional families - Define them first.

    Divorced parents - mother/father bringing up children on their own

    Unmarried mothers

    Mixed race

    Gay married 

    Your example is great for showing that an unmarried mum and divorced man both with children from other cultures can get on well together and be accepted in Spanish society.

    Hope that helps

    Throughout can be substituted by 'all through' eg throughout my life I've worked in IT. 'All through my life etc' Throughout the world people need compassion. All through the world etc. The preposition through can be used to show the place of something ( eg the bus passes through the town (to arrive at its destination), the stone went through the window).

    can someone help me and correct this composition?  OR can someone correct my composition?  OR can someone correct this composition for me?  I think the latter is the closest to the Spanish yet is still correct.  You could also use anyone instead of someone.

    My perfect Christmas is to be with my family and my girlfriend, they are my best gift. Also, I really like Christmas dinners because there is so much food and the atmosphere is amazing, we are very happy. After dinners the adolescents go out to the disco for fun. I am not especially Catholic but I like to spend time with my family and my friends because I live outside. Although it is a good time, we remember people who have already gone to heaven and long for their company, but the important thing is to enjoy with the family members who are still here.

    Paul's corrections are right.  I have concerns about the sentence which starts I am not especially Catholic.  I want more explanation.  I am not Catholic at all and I like to spend time with my family at Christmas!  ('at all' in this sentence emphasises that I am not Catholic and I am using it to contrast your 'not especially Catholic')  Does the Catholic church advocate that families reunite at Christmas? I would like you to explain why you have introduced that phrase before you write that you prefer to spend time with you family etc.  I hope that my comment makes sense to you.

    Can you find a better adjective than good (although it is a good time) joyful/wonderful etc - show off your vocabulary!  I wonder whether the most important thing would enhance that last sentence.  It is important that you remember your dead but more important to enjoy time (or the occasion) with the family members who are present.  

    Hope that has not confused you.

    I think it means "So many things" as if the person wanted to say or do more things but had to leave.
