Resolutions
Hello to everyone who's reading this !I've just made a new resolution! I know it's late. I should have made it in the beginning of January but let's say that it's my...19-years-old resolution since I turned 19 ten days ago
I will try to write a text twice a week in English and once a week in Spanish. I'm afraid it won't be interesting, or I my have nothing to say but, I think it could be useful to practice.
I think my English is quite good, but there are still a lot of mistakes since I'm not a good friend of grammar. Also, sometimes when I don't know how to say a sentence, I tend to translate directly and literally from French to English so it doesn't sound "English."
So sometimes I will talk about a movie I have seen, a book I have read, or an event. Sometimes, if I don't have anything to say, I'll try to write about what I've done during the week :)
I promise I will TRY to hold to this resolution!
I have other resolutions such as watching an English/German/Spanish video each day and learning new vocabulary words each day but I'm not sure I'll be able to hold to those !

I like to compare a good book to a delicious dessert. I always want to make the fun last longer and read very slowly.Today is a bad day for me as I finished a book that I really love. The book's title is "Pride and Prejudice." I think all people in the UK know this book and have read it.
The book is great. The language of the author is pleasant and cheerful, but at the same time genteel. I cannot say that this novel is old or outmoded. No, I think the novel is timeless and always interesting for people. I think, Jane Austin is a notable writer. I am really happy that I know about her and her books.
I borrowed this book from the library and could not leave it. I carried it everywhere - to work, to a cafe, and to the hairdresser!
I read this book and had great fun!I suppose I shall read this novel again. When more time passes, I may buy it!
Do you like the novel "Pride & Prejudice"?0 votedFebruary 15, 201602016/02/15
On February 15th, 2013, a fireball fell near a Russian city named Chelyabinsk, leaving nearly 1,500 injured and a lot of damage. Three years afterwards, it is still unknown where it came from. Although more than 200 scientific studies have been published on this subject, none of them has come up with a satisfactory solution to this problem. It seems that the meteorite exploded when it was 20 kilometers above the ground and released an amount of energy 30 times as much as the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Many meteorite fragments were found after the explosion, including a 650 kilogram one which landed on a lake. According to some experts, happenings like this may occur once every 10,000 years. What all scientists agree on is the impossibility of predicting where and when the next fireball will fall.0 votedFebruary 15, 20162miss something
As a "modern" student, I have my own problems. Just like everyone has, I guess!
I am writing the same way that i used to speak. Somehow, that is a bad point for me because I'd like to apply for a prestigious French business school. I'm not really addicted to social media but it goes without saying that I'm impacted by it!Can someone help me to improve my writing?
It's like a physiological need!

I'm very happy because the Brazilian animated film Boy and the World was nomined for an Oscar for best animated film!
This is great! Usually Brazilians aren't nominated for Oscars but we make great films here.
The big favorite to win this Oscar is Pixar's film Inside Out. It is a brilliant film too, but I believe that Boy and the World has a chance.
I will root for it!0 votedJanuary 15, 20161Friends Finder

Dear Sir/Madam:
I recently spent five days at your hotel and I am not satisfied. I booked a double bed yet the bed in my room was a single. I slept uncomfortably. The air conditioning didn't work so it was very hot in my room. I asked the receptionist to send someone to check it and no one came. I had dirty towels in my room. The food in your hotel was cold and tasteless but your advertisement says that the hotel is clean and modern. My room was dirty and I had to clean it myself.I never been in such a horrible place as your hotel. I paid for a double bed so I would like a refund costs for sleeping in a single bed.
Your unhappy client
