It was great meeting you today, Gordon! After reflecting on our session, I think you'd benefit from working with a tutor whose style and energy are a better match for you — that chemistry really does make a difference in how fast you progress. I have no doubt you'll thrive with the right fit, and I'd encourage you to try a few others until you find someone who clicks. Wishing you all the best in your Spanish journey!

¡Hola Gordon! Lamento mucho los problemas de conectividad que tuvimos en la clase de hoy. Me gustaría programar una práctica de 15 o 20 minutos para recuperar el tiempo que perdimos. El lunes 5 de abril sería perfecto para mí. ¿Puedes ese día? ¿A qué hora -hora de Sacramento- está bien para ti? Tan pronto tengamos definida la fecha, te enviaré un link para trabajar por la plataforma Zoom. ¡Gracias! Hi Gordon, I'm so embarrassed for today's conectivity troubles. Do you mind if we finish the class the next monday 5th April? What time is good for you -Sacramento hour-? As soon as you answer, I'll sent you a link to meet us on Zoom platform. Thank you and see you!

¡Hola Gordon! Ha sido un gusto conocerte. De nuestra clase quisiera resaltar que tienes un buen manejo del idioma, conectas bien las ideas y puedes mantener la conversación en los diferentes tiempos (pasado, presente y futuro). Creo que practicando conversación y realizando algunos ejercicios lograrás que sea más sencillo utilizar las diferentes formas de pasado, expresar de manera más precisa las ideas y hablar de temas más complejos o abstractos con mayor facilidad. ¡Sigue adelante!

    It is not grammatically perfect, but few native English speakers would object to it. It should be written as "Until a few days ago, I did not handle this lockdown situation, which most of us have found ourselves in, very well. " You were correct to sense that the tense should be past, not present.

    Can you help me to correct my script for my YouTube Channel? (PART B)

    Today I am going to give you <s>2 requirements that you should accomplish</s> two skills that you should be able to perform before starting to train specifically for your first "Muscle Up". I'm mentioning this, because I have seen hundreds of people practicing <s>this complex movement</s> the Muscle Up despite the fact that they can't even do 10 pull ups in a row, using the correct technique. In my humble opinion, that's shocking. <s>You need to know that the worst thing that can happen to you as an athlete is to get injured. </s>Doing the Muscle Up without being able to do pull ups well can lead to injuries.

    So, the first and most important exercise you need to master to <s>get</s> do your first Muscle Up is to perfect your pull ups. You have to do your pull ups at least 3 times a week if you desire to improve faster. Without any doubt, you must do this beneficial motion every time you train. In my opinion, as far as I know, it is the best and toughest body weight move you can do both for strength and for aesthetics.

    Right now, your first goal is to be able to perform 13 pull ups with the correct technique. By 13 pull ups, I mean that your maximum repetitions should be at least 13 pull ups. Remember, it will take months if you are an absolute beginner, but I am completely certain that you will succeed. Anyway, this is not the number of repetitions you are going to carry out on every set during your normal training sessions. By the way, I am going to give you a routine by the end of this video. I'm sure it will be helpful for you.

    Thanks for advice.

Many people were affected and the government said these events will be continued all February. so So Peruvians have been wondering ¿What's going on?.

    Too many years have passed to not understand the this big problem, the global warming. The Earth showed us symptoms around the world, but we didn't pay attention.  now Now it is time to change our minds and execute immediate actions in order to save the Earth.

    The key factor is education.  we  We have to teach people to make efforts in order to save our environment. In addition, we need to create new technology only focusing on natural energy such as solar energy. Apart form that, there are other options, for instance, recycling. There  Few countries which invest on in recycling because people don't know the advantages.  some  Some of them are  material reuse, lower manufacturing cost, and less pollution.

    To sum up, the global warming is a challenge. in In fact, all people around the world have to work together so as to save our planet. Each country needs to improve its laws and make efforts to drive this change. Humans have to accept the consequences of their actions. it It isn't too late,. we  We can do it.
