My City
I Love my city, Bogota. It's is the biggest city in Colombia and it is known as tourist and business destination,** which makes an interesting city to live in. and is intereting and important turistic destination and is a businnes center, you can find different thingkhing that yoy can do all days, You can always find something to do in Bogata but my city has two terrible problems the traffic and the water.
In fact, in this moment, is it's raining very hard and this usually complicates traffic*. all trafic in the principal streets, It's terrible because if you need arrive anyplace/anywhere, you have to be will be paciente tient because you will be stuck in traffic for a long time. stuck in the trafic.
But my city is very beautifulHi Johanna!
I would love to come to Colombia!! You guys make the best empanadas! You didn't need to add "all traffic in the principal streets"*. In english, complicates traffic is fine. At least in the US, we use the word "principal" in a different way...main streets. Good job! I hope this helps.

Boring Boring Boring
When will the does weekend arrive? come to me!? Where is my free time? Making money is hard work and it's boring. Money makes me work hard. It's boring.
Anyway, why does the word Wednesday has the word 'd' in it alphabet 'd' ? It's useless*. I always miss d when I write Wednesday.
English has many silent syllables and And the grammar** is more difficult to learn than German***. It really is!Hi Leslie,
Good job
*You are right, English has a lot of words with silent letters that confuses people who are learning English as a second language.
** You begin the sentence with the word English. Because you have decided to use the word "grammar", I need to see the article("the"). The, let's me know as a person who speaks English, that you are referring to English Grammar. Remember, "the" is a definite article. (The) It is specifically used to describe/ write a concrete, specific noun. If you wrote" and grammer", I would not know what grammar you are referring to. For example, I like the brick house that is located on Park street. I wish I could buy the house- You see that I don't have to repeat the word "brick" because you already know what kind of house I'm talking about.
OR: The last sentence could have been: English has too many silent syllables and difficult grammar rules! It's even more difficult to learn than German grammar/ it's worse than German....now this can be used informally...
Good Job

The first training in of the season* was hard. We were out of shape and could not run long distance, but I was worried about another problem.We hadn't the decent condition to run so long distance. But I was worried by another problem. Only four days left until the first game at of the season, we only had five players; the other members of the team hadn't returned from the vacation yet. The n Next day, captain prepared the training with a ball for us.
"Well, guys! One more dickhead has been back to the Motherland." Said cap.
"I returned FROM my Motherland" Paul said.
"Shut up, barfly!" Tommy said.
"Look who is talking!" Paul said.
"Crappy commy! Have you danced with your drunken bears?" Tom barked.
I didn't want listeninig to these two clowns who liked to booze more than any other one else on the in our team. We could fail the start of the season, but they were be abble to joke all day long(I don't understand.. Here's what I think: The start of the season could be bad, but they were able to joke all day).
"Close your mugs! Both!" Cap said. "Today we'll try to train get the playing training if you have not drunken your mind away"Hi
*In the US, we write/say of the instead of In. In the US, the preposition in is used to describe, location, direction, and movement. For example, In the US or In the closet, Inside the house, in that room, in that direction, etc . This is also for the preposition "at"... It's a difference between US and UK English
However,
Excellent Job

I think it is a difficult task to write about the future, because no-one can really know what the future will be like. Some people try: especially scientists, politicians, economists and all kinds of fortune-tellers for very different reasons. As far it concerns me, I see the future neither optimistic nor pessimistic. Every pro has a con, doesn't hasn't it? For example, technological progress had and still does have(preference) has a big influence to in our lives. Although, the lives of the privileged have become more and more convenient, not everyone profits from technical achievements. In particular, people who live don't in the third world.*Great Job
*: Since you are writing about difference for this sentence, the sentence before this one is the a person who speaks English, will/ can understand easily. Now, if you wanted to emphasis that people who live in less industrialized countries, don't benefit from advances in technology, you could write industrialized nations/ 1st world countries.you could " In particular, people who don't live in 1st world/ industrialized nations.
