    126 - One of my favorite Italian idioms (6)

    One of my favorite Italian idioms is "buono come il pane" ("good as bread") which is said when you want to emphasize that someone is a really good person. If you know someone who has a gold heart and never speaks badly of others, then he or she is a good candidate to be labelled as "good as bread". This is a very common Italian idiom, and perhaps one of the most famous and well known. It is so common that it is used even in my dialect, which is not such a common fact, since provincial dialects are usually very different from Italian, especially for this kind of thing. Hence, if you want to sound like an Italian native speaker, now you know what to say.

    Have you ever heard about this Italian idiom? Do you like it?


    I'm not sure what this phrase means, is the dialect not common? Or is it because your dialect doesn't share much cultural similarities with Italian?

    excellent grammar and expression!

    I love that idiom. To me it means omeone who is good and wholesome all the way through to the core.

    Essay. Could you pleade chek it? It is the task from my advanced student's book.

    This essay is based on a recent discussion about how important it is to give children the opportunity to take care of animals and it aims to highlight two main concerns.
    First, looking after an animal can give children lots of information about its habits, behaviour and other aspects of natural life which are studied in theory at school. It provides children with a great opportunity to implement knowledge they gain by reading books and watching films about wild life. Therefore it will enable children to memorise well everything they learn about nature because knowledge being used in real life is captured bettter. Beyond that play (play with pets in our case) is a vital part of the childrens life and using it as an educational tool is a good method to teach something in a fun and effective way. Children will get a valuable insight into the life of animals, unobtrusively.
    Second, the significance of taking care of animals can hardly be overestimated in regard to the influence it has on character building. When communicating with animals, feeding them, walking with them and cleaning everything after them, children learn how to be more responsible, thoughtful and caring. This can have a positive effect both in personal and in public aspects. A Considerate, well-organised and patient person is likely to become a good family member, better worker and a more environmentally friendly and responsible society member.
    In conclusion I would like to mention that, in my opinion, personal reasons are<s style="background-color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"> </s><s>is</s> more important than the educational one, because features of the character provide a base for <s>the</s> a happy and successful life. People with highly developed emotional intelligence and kind hearts are capable<s> to form </s>of forming the society we all want to live in.

    Disco

    I like Disco very much. Recently I saw a video about forgotten music genres and Disco was on the top of the list. I've never known knew that there was a real campaign against Disco. I watched the video and thought "How can  someone can hate this perfect music?" I always thought that everyone loves Disco. There was a period of my life, when I couldn't enter a university and I was very depressed. Disco became the only painkiller in the moment. Previously I listened only to rock and heavy metal, but after my exam failure I couldn't listen to them anymore.
    Honeslty, Disco is the only music I can listen to with a woman's vocal. I like man's high voices, like in the song "Tradegy" by Bee Gees, (It is the reason of for my love to ofJudas Priest and Iron Maiden). I like Italian Disco. I don't know about the situation with European bands in USA, but they were very popular in Russia: ABBA, Dschinghis Khan, Modern Talking, Ottawan, Savage, and etc. It is a the music of my parents' childhood. I also like American Disco bands and singers, for example Village People, Laura Branigan, Gloria Gaynor.

    Really Funny TV Program

    Last Saturday, I watched a funny TV program on YouTube for a couple of minutes. I had nothing to do, so and I felt like watching something on YouTube. I don't have TV, so I use YouTube when I want to see something. The TV program is really funny. We usually watch it at the end of every year. In the program, some TV personalities go to a school where they can't laugh in the school even though some funny things happen in front of them. The TV show is famous in Japan. I really enjoy watching it on the last day.


    Great!

    oraciones sencillos, gracias! Los llamas le quebran a mi cara. Me arrojan en la piscina. El me golpe en el costado. Tú nos otorgas las llaves. Los colores de pintura son afines. He vuelto a molestarte. El vuelo del pajaro está espasmódico. Las palabras que escrito en la pierda me dan temor. Yo te aviso al silencio. Tú tienes un trozo de paja en tu pelo. Los prendemos en el acto. ⸘Qúe él quiere por su recompensa? Lo dejo en casa mí telefono cuando voy a caminar. Tengo un disfraz para la fiesta el viernes por la noche. La leyenda dice que no puede morir. Los días de nevar me pongo triste. Crecemos frambuesas en nuestro campo. Él acarrea y da las pegatinas que dice “tú eres un ganador” a la gente que conoce. Quiero cocinar sobre la leña que está afuera a veces. Mi camiseta es hecho de algodón. Está muy fresco hoy. Yo se venzo a mi adversario.

    Ads for kids!!!!!!!

    There are many advertisements on TV. These A ads might choose children, between two to five, to be their target customers. In my own opinion, kids in that age will not understand the Ads so the industries might lose their money. In addition, if babies did understand the Ads, they would annoy their parents by asking them day and night to buy the game they saw on TV. Therefore, I disagree with having that kind of marketing for offspring.

    First, because children under six year old cannot grasp the meaning of Ads, they will not ask their parents to buy them the dolls in the Ads. As a result, the companies will not have the benefit of that kind of marketing. Moreover, the Ads costs a lot of money. If the companies did not have more profits, they would breakdown don't show a profit, they will fail. That is why it is better to use another way of appealing to little children.

    Second, some children are very consisting (do you mean "persistent"?). Once they see something, they want it right away. And not all parents can afford the price of new games. Nowadays, games are very expensive, especially the ones with programs. So, it is bad to attract young children who do not know the meaning of money. They might think that everything is for free. For example, my friend's daughter took a game and escaped from the store because she thought that it is for was free. Children learn a bit about spending money in preschool but those who are younger than five do not go to preschool at least in my country.

    To sum up, I can clearly state that children under five should not have advertisements. They are too young to know what they should buy and what they should not buy.

    I wrote this as a TOEFL essay.

    What do you think?


    Very good!
