I am a student from Australia and have a great passion for languages. I love the challenge and find it really interesting that different languages make me think in different perspectives. I am hoping to improve my German (have been learning for a while), and to learn Swedish, Norwegian and AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language) from the beginning.

    My Master's Degree

    Hello, I'm Salma.
    I am from Egypt.
    I'm a veterinarian. When I got (into?) a master's degree and tried writing (writting) essays (assey), I had (get a) problems in writing (writting ) my essay (assey ). It was so difficult. Also when I did my presentation I have problems with speech (speek). Please help (hlep) me to improve my work to be the best .
    Thanks

    Hi Salma,

    Good try! Just make sure that you stick to the tense that you would like to use. For example, either use:

    "When I did my presentation I had a problem with speech" (happened once) or  "When I do presentations I have a problem with speech"(happens regularly)

    Also feel free to connect your sentences a bit more.

    Here is how I would write it:

    Hello, I'm Salma and I am a veterinarian from Egypt. I found essay writing difficult when I did my master's degree. Also, when I did presentations I had problems with my speech. Please help me to improve my work to be the best.

    Thanks.

    Notice that in each sentence I stick to the same tense

    I hope this helps and good luck in learning!


    Scott

    language exchange

    Hi, I'm Marco and I'm Italian. I'm here since a couple of days (I have been here for a couple of days) and I consider this community (to be) very interesting. I'm a doctor and in my profession a fluent English is essential (it is essential to be fluent in English), thus (not wrong but "thus" is quite formal - Instead, I would say this in conversational speech: so, I'm here....) I'm here to meet new friends and improve my bad English; i could exchange in Italian or in Spanish. Moreover (also quite formal - I would simply say "also") I'd like to meet native Spanish speakers too ("moreover"/ "also" already says this), and I would also (like to) improve my Spanish (or just: ... to improve my Spanish). Usually I'm busy (during the day?) until the evening, but after the dinner I'm generally free for planned skype lessons.
    Thank you!

    Fantastic spelling - the main issue is using formal vocabulary in an informal situation. If you were writing something like an essay, novel or article those words (such as thus and moreover) would be much more appropriate. These mistakes are only quite minor - I would encourage watching English movies or TV shows just to improve this. Hope this helps!
