A little bit of heaven

But one day one of her friends notices that she has been losing weight and she encourages Marley to visit a doctor. After some medical tests, Marley has to face the truth, she has colon cancer. There is no possible surgery, because the cancer is in an advanced stage, and chemotherapy doesn't work, <font style="background-color: yellow;">and </font><font style="background-color: yellow;">the</font> cancer goes on spreading.

Today I went with my roommate to buy some<font style="background-color: yellow;"> </font>things that we needed. First we went from <font style="background-color: yellow;">the</font> university to the city by <strike>a</strike> bus, it was really <strike><font style="background-color: rgb(0, 255, 0);">problematic</font></strike><font style="background-color: rgb(0, 255, 0);"> difficult</font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">because</font> as students we need to have wit<font style="background-color: yellow;">h</font> us our residency documents and student card<strike>,</strike><font style="background-color: yellow;">.</font> I forgot the document<font style="background-color: yellow;">s</font> so I had to return to my room to <font style="background-color: yellow;">get them</font> <strike>take that</strike>.
Well, after that we went to the mall and walk<font style="background-color: yellow;">ed</font><strike>ing</strike> for <strike>many</strike> a <font style="background-color: yellow;">long time</font> looking for school<strike>ar</strike> materials, a pair of shoes for my roommate and finally we <strike>buy</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">bought</font> a nice <strike>furniture for shoes</strike> <font style="background-color: rgb(0, 255, 0);">shoe rack</font>, now we have a <strike>furniture</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">place</font> to put our shoes.
It was a long day but we were able to find all the things that we need.<font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> </font><font style="background-color: inherit;"> My corrections</font>
<font style="background-color: rgb(0, 255, 0);"> </font><font style="background-color: inherit;"> My suggestions -- English does not have a specific word for this, but "shoe rack" is a close expression. Furniture is not the right word -- that word is used for couches, chairs, tables, dressers, etc. -- larger items.
</font><font style="background-color: inherit;">Muy bien! Keep practicing!
</font>0 votedJuly 17, 20160- Ayer en el parque Ayer, fui a un parque aquí en Los Angeles con mi esposa. Vimos un perrito que era muy pequeño y bonita. Ella me dije que quiere otro perro. Respondí que ya tenemos dos perros y un gato, y no necesitamos otra mascota. Tuvimos dos plantas también, pero ellos se murieron porque nunca recordaba a darles agua. Es bueno que estoy más responsable con animales que con las plantas, porque siempre recuerdo dar comida a mis mascotas, claro. Tenemos un chihuahua y un “Yorkie”. Por seguro, la Yorkie es el jefe de la casa. Hoy en la mañana, ella me despertó a las cinco y media porque ella tuvo hambre y quiso comida, aun hoy es sábado. Ahora estoy tan cansado. Todo de esta entrada es ficción – simplemente quería practicar el pretérito y el imperfecto. Pues, todo excepto la Yorkie, que verdaderamente es el jefe de mi casa.July 17, 201640
Summer time
I don't know what to write today. I'm exhausted <strike>due to</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">from</font> the summer weather. I'm from the south of Spain and here the weather is usually warm. However, these days are extremely hot <strike>and warm</strike>. I wish I had a swimming pool in my garden but I <strike>haven't</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">don't</font>. The fact is that <font style="background-color: yellow;">in the summer</font> the air conditioner is the best friend of people from the south of Spain <strike>in summer</strike>.Great post. Just some thoughts: Saying "due to the summer weather" is fine, but a more common and less formal way is to say "from the summer weather." In the United States we would say "backyard" instead of "garden." Maybe that is the proper usage in British English, I don't know.

Pero estoy muy alegro que he encontrado este sitio web porque yo sé que necesito hablar español, y hablar más, y luego hablar más en español, si quiero aprender el idioma en realidad. Me parece que es mucho más fácil verdaderamente aprender los idiomas hoy que en años pasado porque hay sitios web como esté y tecnología como Skype. Gracias por leer esta entrada.July 14, 201620
