    Essay about an English-language film club in my college

    In my college an English-language film club wants to <strike><font style="background-color: yellow;">be</font></strike> open and I will help to carry out its organization. So, first of all, I will make some suggestions about it on the road to <font style="background-color: yellow;">achieving</font> a great club.

    The English-language club has to be a club where we can watch many different types of films, such as <font style="background-color: yellow;">comedic</font> films, funny films, action films, drama films… but we <font style="background-color: yellow;">especially</font> have to watch films that <font style="background-color: yellow;">independent</font> of their genre <strike>they</strike> are helpful to learn English.

    In terms of meeting days, I think we should meet one day during the week at least, to discuss <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>about</strike></font> the films we want to watch, and <font style="background-color: yellow;">another</font> day during the weekend to watch the film <strike><font style="background-color: yellow;">all</font></strike> together.

    Finally, and the most important part, I think we should promote the club <font style="background-color: yellow;">by</font> putting posters around the college, where people could <font style="background-color: yellow;">see</font> them and decide to sign up <font style="background-color: yellow;">for</font> the club.

    I am sure that with these ideas we will be able to arrange a great English-language film club. It will really succeed.

    I don't think that "ain't" is commonly used in everyday speech, and it is definitely not used formally. I rarely hear the word "ain't" where I am from (Western Canada) unless it is in a movie or on TV. I think that some areas (like the southern USA) might use it more often. I would avoid using it at all if I were you, unless you plan on living in a place where it is commonly used.

    Yes, that is a good description. It is probably the best description in this case and is a common thing to say in English.

    I don't think 'determining' makes sense in this sentence. It does not sound right. If I understand the meaning of the sentence correctly I would use 'needed' or 'required.' I would also suggest using a word like 'achieve' or 'gain' instead of 'get.' To 'get' happiness does not sound natural. It is more common to say that you would 'achieve' or 'gain' happiness. Colours affect our lives but I don't think they are (required or needed) to (achieve or gain) happiness.

    In this sentence 'of' is incorrect. Try using 'about.' "I always try to notice as many interesting things about my country as possible."

    1.

    "You said to me you'd travel abroad during a whole month."

    To sound more informal I would suggest this: "You told me you'd travel abroad for a whole month." 

     

    2.

    I'd like to know if "really" sounds more informal than "in truth".

    I would need to see the context of the sentence to answer this.

     

    3.
    "I couldn't believe my eyes when he took my number out of the box! I was feeling absolutely delighted!"

    I would avoid using the word 'delighted.'  It is not wrong, but it is not commonly used in everyday speech. I would suggest something like: "I was so excited!" or "I felt so excited!" 


    4.

    "Besides, I think that taking this trip is a good way to improve our English."

    'Besides' might not be the best choice here depending on the context and the previous sentence. Are you trying to say 'In addtion...' or 'Also..." The use of 'taking' is fine.

    Depending on this I would suggest something like:

    "Also, I think that taking this trip is a good way to improve my English."


    Looks good!

    Does this make sense? "Yo todavia he un largo manera a ir." "I still have a long way to go." I am practicing Spanish by creating sentences using the vocabulary I have learned so far. Here is an example: "Yo todavia he un largo manera a ir." I was trying to make the sentence "I still have a long way to go." I know it probably sounds weird, but I am wondering if this sentence would be understood by a native Spanish speaker. Would they understand my meaning?
