My study
I think ninth grade is a lot harder than eigth grade. For this reason, I've become more careful in studying. In the past I never listened in class at all, but now a big change took place in me over the last several months.
I’m more focused in class and always communicate with the teacher. After class I always review the lesson. I feel really good about my changes and I think it’s positive for me. I used to talk with classmates and interupt the teacher during class but now I focus on the blackboard and write down notes every time. It’s really nice.
Not only does this change make me more confident, but also helps improve my scores. I’m proud of myself. As far as I’m concerned I think I get more and more attention from the teacher and surly feel happier than I used to be.----
Just made some minor changes to help the flow of the sentence's. Your spelling is very good though! Great job in improving your studies I am sure your teacher's are very proud of you =^_^=

From donkeys to cars, from cars to ...?
Cars play an important role in our lives. We are able to travel anywhere just by using these facilities. Some think we will be using them in twenty years as much as we do now; I definitely think that we are going to replace them with new inventions, for two reasons.
First, by learning from the past we can conclude cars will be replaced by new inventions. For example; years ago horses played a crutial role in daily life and served as the only mode of long-distance travel. Whereas in modern time's the use of horse's has given way to more stable convient technology. I think this will continue again in the future. I belive that in the future mankind will find new ways for travelling and all that cars are capable of today.
Second, mankind will have to replace them. Today not only are big cites are polluted, but also small towns. We won't be able to live here for a long time if we don't reduce using cars. Pollution makes the earth unlivable, so if we want to live on the earth forever we have to replace cars with new environmentally friendly transportation.When I was at university in Tehran I had trouble breathing and became ill. When I visted a doctor he said I would no longer be able to live in Tehran, because my illness was the result of air pollution in the city. Because there are many cars in Tehran I can say the biggest part of the pollution was caused by car polutants. This experience taught me if we want the earth to be livable forever we need to replace cars with sustainable transportation.
Some may think we would be able to live on the earth forever, even if we don't replace cars with new inventions; I definitely think we wouldn't be able to do so if we use cars for many years. Not only by learning from the past we can conclude cars will be replaced by new inventions, but also mankind will have to replace them. Governments should invest more money in finding the best replacement of cars in order to...0 votedOctober 17, 20151- I've always been a very shy person, especially with public speaking! But I've gotten much better over the year's so that even though I FEEL nervous it doesn't show that I am nervous and people think I am confident :D You can practice speaking in front of a mirror, or even recording yourself on your cellphone to listen to when you're finished. Try to do it without writing down what you want to say first, just pick a subject and start speaking about it. Keep going as long as you can even if you mess up or fumble your words. The idea is to help get rid of the fear of messing up in front of an audience. The more you do it the less afraid you will be. If you live with family or friend's you can practice in front of them as well. Just start talking about a subject you like (science, art, a video game or movie you really like) as if you where giving a speech to a big audience. One way I get ready for public speaking is to pretend I am a more confident version of myself. Imagine a character you look up to, someone who isn't afraid of anything and you pretend that while you're speaking your that person. You become more confident just by imagining yourself as being that way. The more you tell yourself that you're strong and not afraid the more you actually become that way.0 votedOctober 13, 20150
Five sentences in English
I'm reading a book and when I find a word I don't know I create a sentence. Please correct my mistakes
1) These group dance classes are only for young adult's/teenagers, we don't accept children or adults who are older than 25 years old. ( the word is youth)2) Such a ridiculous situation! The best students didn't do their homework. (the word is ridiculous)
3) I like this film but the plotline is not like the book.(the word is plotline)
4) I'm grateful you came to help me in this difficult situation ( the word is grateful)
5) She is utterly lost when her parents argue. (the word is utterly)
Thank you!----
Blue is where I changed a sentence around to make it sound a bit smoother and green is where I fixed spelling errors.
In English '<em>youth</em>' can be used to describe very young children as well as teenager's/young adult's, so the sentence didn't sound quite right as it was. If you'd like to use the word '<em>youth</em>' with this sentence you could try something like:
<em>"These are youth dance classes, we don't accept adult's over 25 year's old or children under 10"</em><em>

If someone know's English they'll be able to navigate an English speaking country, but there are some differences such as: Idioms Pronunciation Spelling (famously color vs colour) Phrasing and even some vocabulary and punctuation! Here's some examples: American English Color Dialog Aging Center Trunk Cookie British English Colour Dialogue Ageing Centre Boot Biscuit Those are just some of the more well known examples on how our language can differ from spelling to vocabulary. The easiest way to tell the difference is to listen to native speakers, like you are through television and film. If you're into comedy I recommend Are You Being Served or Fawlty Tower's for something to watch, both are British tv series from around the 70's and earlier. There's also the super famous Doctor Who which has been running since dinosaurs walked the Earth. I am not a huge fan of Doctor Who myself but my favorite season is with the 4th Doctor (Tom Baker). I was a big fan of Katherine Tate, a famous British comedian who had a season with the 10th Doctor (David Tennant).0 votedOctober 13, 20151
My first time
Today I learned about italki from Facebook, it is wonderful because I am planing to travel with my family for a visit to Orlando but only I speak English.I wanna practice more.
---
Green is where I adjusted thing's in the sentence to flow smoother, bolded text is where I changed the capitalization of words and blue is where I fixed the spelling of a word.
I hope you have a great vacation in Orlando!
