    Car review

    Last week, I had to take my car in for to its 97.000 km tune up ("to" is grammatically correct, but sounds a little odd). I had to change the air filter, oil filter, pollen filter, oil, diesel filter and brake fluid. I paid 220 euros. The last revision service was in June, 2016.

    I have not changed the timing belt yet. I have thought about changing the timing belt in September. It’s an expensive change.

    My work is very far of my house, around 50 km. I have to take care of the car. I make drive (or go) up to about 110 km every day.



    Good job Rubén.  I hope the traffic isn't too bad.

    ¿"Estuviste dos años", o "Tenías dos años"? Acabo de ver un video en YouTube que dijo "Ten en cuenta que estuviste dos años escuchando tu propio idioma antes de pronunciar tus primeras palabras". Pensé que no se utiliza "estuviste dos años" en español. Sino, se dice "tenías dos años". ¿Cual es correcto, y por qué? Gracias a todos!

    Four sentences about memory. Can you.please correct. Many thanks in advance

    Researchers from a Canadian university have found that saying words about aloud to another person helps language learners to memorize words better. In other words, saying if you say aloud words aloud to yourself it is a less effective way of learning new words than saying them to a breathing person. Thus, the more you engage yourself with other human beings while learning a foreign language, the more fruitful your studying will be and it will increase hugely your language memory.


    Interesting idea!

    Paragraph (1)

    Students in their seats and the teacher in front of the class, is the classical image that comes to our minds when we think of the classical school day. That image has remained the same throughout the years and there is no sign of any change in the near future. Many have raised their voices in opposition to this system; since it does not allow students to be creative; obstructing completely the creative thinking by modeling their minds according to what the teacher and consequently the government wants the children to learn.


    Hi Bárbara.  This is well written, and I only had three suggestions.  First, instead of "comes to our minds", I'd suggest "comes to mind".  Second, instead of the semicolons ";" replace those with commas ",".  Finally, "completely obstructing" sounds more natural than "obstructing completely".

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Trying to learn italian Italian.

    I´ve always thought that the italian Italian language is was a wonderful thing. I think that it´s a strong language, not because the other ones are week weak. Rather, it´s for its the way of being it's spoken. The iItalian expressions are happy and iItalian people seem like they would like that the feelings they´re experimenting experiencing in that exact moment can be felt for by other persons people by just the sound of their voice. And, of course, with all corporal body language, they are always moving their hands.


    I´am I'm (or) I am trying to learn italian, it´s not easy. I´ve never gone to a an iItalian class and by at the moment I´m not sure I want to. I would like to learn by my self myself. mMaybe it´s going to be harder and longer but Wwhy not trying?



    Just a few corrections, and suggestions to make it sound more natural.  Let me know if you have any questions.

    Good luck with learning Italian!  I've heard that the Argentinian accent sounded like Spanish being spoken with an Italian accent.  Maybe that's totally incorrect.

    I baked three cakes

    I was busy today. I waked woke up early and did houseworks then I went to school and when I returned in the afternoon I made these three cakes.
    I want to decorate them with banana cream and coconut. I am not certain if I will succeed to decorate in decorating them nicely.
    Wish me good luck.


    That sounds great Nada.  Just a few minor corrections. Also, note that there is no space before the period at the end of a sentence.

    Good luck with decorating the cakes!

    Her 14-point review of systems examination reveals that there are no pertinent positives.

    Alternatively: "None of the tests in her 14-point examination were positive."



    Her past medical history and 14-point review of systems examination are recorded in the chart and reviewed by me.

    Alternatively: "I have reviewed her past medical history and the results of her 14-point examination, which are recorded in the chart."


    Hi Cinavi.  Good job.  I had just a few suggestions to make the sentences seem more natural in English.

    Great job Bárbara. It was very clear. Just two minor suggestions: 1) the "k" in "to make way" was too soft, and needs a stronger pronunciation; and 2) the stress in the word "decades" is on the first "e" (more pronounced like "décades").
