A little story
Today I want to talk about a little part of Mr. X’s life. When Mr. X was 18 (eighteen) years old, and passed the last high-school exam, he could check in at University of Almería, but he wanted to study abroad, for example in the UK or Poland.
On his first day at university he was a little shy because he doesn’t know anyone. However, he thought he should be relaxed and work hard because he will know new people over time. Now, he has some very good friends and he get on with them, they even eat out together every weekend. But these friends smoked and Mr. X did not, so he began to smoke too. Smoking is quite bad because it hurts your lungs principally and you cannot do a lot of sport because you feel very tired.
After a few months, Mr. X decided to give up smoking and do some sports like “crossfit” or spinning because he had put on some kilograms. Now, he feels very good, healthier and stronger and he has more energy to do a lot of activities. In fact, he has decided to prepare and practice for a triathlon in a near future.0 votedFebruary 1, 20161A New Attempt
Every time I start to write a new entry in Italki I hope I will be able to do it well. Avoiding making grammar mistakes as well as using tense verbs property are both priority tasks for me. I try not only to include those new words that I have recently learned but I also test new ways to express my ideas . However, at the time I am writing the new entry, I usually look up a Dictionary or a Thesaurus as little as possible, writing it without any help instead. Perhaps you can think that behaviour is very unpolite from me, because if I did it (to look up one), you wouldn't correct most mistakes you find throughout my entry. Firstly, I apologize for making you to spend your time correcting those bugs, although let me to explain you why I do it, so I hope you could excuse me. In my opinion, writing entries is not much like academic work. Whereas when writing a scholarly entry one need to be extremely careful to achieve the best result. Writing an Italki entry is a useful approach to express as naturally as possible, as a result of previous knowledges acquired. In this way, I am confident I am doing my best based on what I really know. Then, once I find unexpected mistakes, which are displayed by corrections made by other Italki users, I really take advantages of them. It let me figure out what I have to review or what to focus on. In fact, I realize I learn more English writing entries in a natural way, despite making mistakes, than checking a number of lessons in a typical English Grammar book. So, this a new attempt to get my goal of writing well. But, in case it were a failure, I ask you to correct me if you do not mind. Thanks in advance.0 votedFebruary 1, 20161Other ways to learn english: TV Shows
I've recently joined the iTalk community as I would like to improve my english skills. Up until now, I haven't done a Skype lesson; I used to have face to face training, following grammar books (boring!) and it took me too long to discover that this method was not as effective as expected. I don't expect to take the 'fast lane' to improve as I know I've to work hard so I'm working in my english immersion. I'm watching TV programs in original version and recently I found several series to follow up. I've just ended Miranda show, which is about a 40-year-old girl a bit awkward and her mum, who has made finding a husband for her daughter the target of her life. It's hilarious! I also like some other kind of series but that one is ok for the lunch time as it last about 20 minutes per episode.0 votedFebruary 1, 20161Sunday
Yesterday Sunday I ate in a restaurant and I liked so much the food. The restaurant was Oriental cuisine of noodle and vegetarian dishes and I ordered rice noodles with chicken, carrot, soya, mushroom and prawns. For drink a beer and finally the dessert was a white chocolate cake. Every plate was delicious! I will go another day to taste different plates.
Also the waiters were very polite and they served all the food in time. On the other hand the ambiance was comfortable and nice.0 votedFebruary 1, 20160Can you help me?
Hi all, the company I work for, has been sold to foreign investors. So that, it becomes necessary that all the staff know how to speak in English, given that international travel will be made regularly. Also I see the opportunity to help my coworkers with their english. Thanks a lot for your corrections0 votedFebruary 1, 20160
