    You could use it like this, "You are going to do great on your test tomorrow. Don't stress out!" Or "All of these bills I have to pay are really starting to stress me out!"

    I want to improve my English.

    I have been learning studying English for a long time, But it does not work isn't working. My English is still very poor. Sometime Sometimes, I doubt wether whether or not I have the talent for it. I thought I should stop learning and that it was a waste of time. However, I like English and wish I can could communicate fluently with English. I am looking forward to finding a native English native speaker to help me practice it.

    I would say "There isn't a mirror over the washbasin." but really both sound fine. In English you would be more likely to say "There isn't a mirror over the sink."

    5 sentences in English ( part 2)

    6) That girl is not sensible so she rarely use her uses good judgment to make disitions decisions. (the word is judgment)
    7) The sky is clouded cloudy so I think it will be raining rain. (the word is cloud as verb) You needed "cloudy" here because you were using it as an adjective (describing the sky). To use it as a verb you could say "The building was on fire! Smoke clouded the room" or "Don't let your anger cloud your judgement."
    8) I have some insect stings after our trip. I think I need to go th to the doctor. ( the word is sting)
    9) My dog run ran away and nobody know knows where is he he is. I don't know how will I live I will survive after this loss. ( tge the word is loss)
    10) The monster crashed into the buiding building and ate some people (the phase word is crash into)

    Day 1

    Hi, how a I need to improve my English, so I will try to write something here every day. I hope you will help me by correcting my writing, and if you are learning Spanish and I can help you whit with anything please let me know.

    Well, yesterday I felt sick. I had headache and a little of low fever, so I went to the doctor and him he gave me same medicines some medicine. I already feel better today, but still I had a little of fever early in the morning. I hope tomorrow I will be completely fine  back to normal, because I want to return to train work, and I can't do it if I am feeling not good don't feel well.

     

    train I'm not sure what you're trying to say in this sentence. Train means like "work out" or "a vehicle on the railroad". Maybe you mean that you want to return to "work"? 

    completely fine  This makes sense and is correct English, but it doesn't SOUND natural. We would say either "I hope I'll be back to normal tomorrow" or "I hope I'll feel 100% tomorrow" or "I hope I will feel better tomorrow"

    Five sentences in English

    I'm reading a book and when I find a word I don't know I criate create a sentence. Please correct my mistakes
    1) These group dance classes are only for youth, we don't accept children and adult people who elder than 25 years old. ( the word is youth)  These group dance classes are only for youth. We don't accept children or adults older than 25. That is how you would write it, but it doesn't SOUND natural for an English speaker. Youth is better used in a sentence like "The youth of today are obsessed with their cell phones!" or "I am old and out of shape, but in my youth I could run very fast!"
    2) Such ridiculous situation! The best students didn't do their homework. (the word is ridiculous) What a ridiculous situation. The best students didn't even do their homework!
    3)I like this film, but the plotline is not like in the book.(the word is plotline)
    4) I'm grateful that you came to help me out in this difficult situation ( the word is grateful)
    5) She is utterly lost when her parents arrgue argue. (the word is utterly)

    Thank you!

     

    Great job! I hope you're enjoying your book!

    Yes. Pretty sure means that you definitely think you're right, but there is a reasonable possibility that you're wrong, and Quite sure means that you're pretty much positive that you're right. It's basically a difference in confidence. Both indicate confidence, but quite indicates even more confidence
