Today we did a full run-through of the test. You did well in all parts and were particularly good at using the functions of the grade during the conversation phase.

Today, we practised the listening phase and the interactive phase. The lesson was challenging, but I hope that the difficulty of the task has helped to raise awareness about the possible tactics to use when the prompts are complicated. Remember to stay in control by asking the examiner questions to lead her around to your argument!

In this lesson, you gave your topic presentation, which was really good. You structured it very well and used intonation to highlight contrasts and new points. We also practised the listening phase.

    my new wareable device I have been recently given a smartwatch as a birthday present. It is totally black, the strap is made from rubber and it has built in a gps and a heart optical rate sensor. This model is designed for sporty people. The watch seems to be a little bit bigger than a normal one but once is in your wrist looks pretty good. It has two buttons and a touchable square screen which is the main way to interact with it. During your daily routine this werable device works like a normal watch but also provide you some extra information about the distance you have walked, the floors you have gone up and down and you heart rate. All these features are really helpful to keep your motivation about exercise and a healthy style of life. Furthermore, the watch offers another way of using it. In this so called sport mode you can track and monitoring your sport activity. For instance, if you want to go swimming then you have to activate the swimming mode which allows you to have a lot of specific information about your activity in the pool such a distance, time, strokes and more. This kind of information is useful to improve your fitness. The watch allow you to track a lot of difference sports such a running, golf, cycling and more. I do not know how much my girlfriend paid for it but it seems to me that this watch is around 100 and 200€. It is expensive if you compare it with a normal basic watch made in China but it has a very reasonable price if you take into consideration what this watch is capable to do. So in my opinion whether you are a sporty person who wants to be update of your improvements or a normal person who wants to get fitter and motivated at the same time this watch is made for you and it is definitively worth it.

    Introducción de perfil en español

    Hola a todos! Soy una Americana de 26 años de un pueblito cerca de Washington, D.C. Actualmente, vivo en Mérida, México en el estado de Yucatán (donde hay hace un calor insano (insano no suera muy natural, yo diría increíble por ejemplo)!). Mientras  enseño el inglés, voy aprendiendo el español. Así que, sé que aprender un idioma foráneo es un gran compromiso y lograrlo requiere mucha persistencia lograr. Sin embargo, la experiencia de aprender una forma nueva de comunicarme seguramente puede ser muy divertido y gratificante también.

    Si tienes interés en estudiar conmigo, prueba una lección de 45 minutos a un buen precio! Vamos a platicar sobre muchos temas, te voy a corregir la gramática, la pronunciación y te daré recomendaciones personalizadas para hablar más como un hablante ( para sonar más natural yo no añadiría hablante a esta frase, no es necesario y es redundante, pero no está mal ) nativo. Ya tengo más de un año de experiencia dando clases a profesionales, adolescentes  y niños, y me han dicho que soy muy paciente y comprensiva. Estaría muy encantada de conocerte. Nos vemos!


    Buen trabajo. Errores menores de fácil solución.

    fifth try Last December my girlfriend and me decided to spend our winter holidays in Lapland. After Reading some reviews on the internet we booked a cottage next to the line of the polar circle. The house was really beautiful and welcoming. It was completely made of wood and perfectly decorated with christmas ornaments. The furniture was also wooden and ceilings really high with beams. It had two bedrooms, one of them had an extremely comfortable double bed. There were two well equipped bathrooms an one huge living room with a fireplace. The house had also two barns outside, the biggest one was a wood store and was shared with two other cottages, the other one was a private smoke sauna. When we booked the cottage the recepcionist ask us if we preferred a house with traditional smoke sauna for and extra charge. We both love sauna so we decided to try the traditional kind. Although we found out this sort of sauna was harder to set off, it was definetly worth it. In spite of the house was advertised as being 10 minutes from the ski resort, we had to rent a snow-mobile to do it in such a short time. At first, we were dissapointed because the renting was quiet expensive, however after the first ride we found it really thrill. If you like snow and winter sports do not miss the opportunity to spend a holidays in a wooden cottage in Lapland. Despite fees are high, living in such welcoming house with a fireplace and private sauna is an amazing experience.

    Fourth try Watching and listening a good concert at home is definitely much better than attending to the same concert. First of all, watching the concert at home is easier, you do not have to travel or queuing for a long time to get a good place or a seat (if seats are offered). However, you can be more confortable at home, laying in your favorite sofa or eating your home-made food. Secondly, concerts are ususally crowed and people are really excited there, which means that sometimes they do not behave properly. The most common behaviors you can find in a concert are yelling or whistling loudly and of course being pushed. In my opion, all this behaviors are strongly unpolite and create a bad atmosphere. Last but not least, it is very dificult to listen clearly in a concert, because the facilities are not usually built to offer a perfect sound in every seat. On the other hand, nowadays you can enjoy an amazing quality sound at home for a reasonable price sound system. Paying for attending a concert it is not really worth, instead, you can acquire a dvd for less money and you will have the concert forever.

    third try In my opion keeping animals at zoos is not a bad idea, as long as they are treated according with animals rights and common sense. To begin with the topic I have to recognice that I really love animals and I also love zoos. I have visited several zoos and a couple of game reserves and I have learnt a lot from animals thanks to both experiencies. Having the opportunity to be close to animals has enriched myself. Secondly, I have to recognice that not all the zoos I have visited are an example of management. I have not seen any violation of animal right but I have seen an enormous hippo living on an enclosure with a tiny pool where the animal could barely take a bath. Last but not least, some people who complain about zoos are not aware about some bad habits in farms where animals are bred and then slaughtered in a bad way. So, taking care of animals is not a problem of zoos, it is a problem of people who run the facilities where the animals live. On balance, a zoo is a good oportunity to learn about animals as long as it has been run properly.

    helpful tricks I have learnt a lot of useful things over my life, but the one which makes my life easier nowadays is what I call “Google tricks”. As everybody knows Google is a big business which offers a lot of product, but the most important is its well-known searcher. I do not remember when was the first time I tried to find out some information on the internet but I do remember when a fabulous teacher of mine taught me how to do it properly by using Google. I was in secondary school, aged 16, we were trying to find out some information on the internet but we could not get it, so our teacher taught us how to use Google in a proper way. He told us, for instance, that Google did not recognice prepositions or articles so better not to use them, “just focus on nouns and verbs” he said. Another useful searching comand was how to use quotation marks to look for group of words in a specific order. One of the most useful tricks was how to use the minus sign (-) to exclude words from the request. I use Google every single day and all of these simple tricks make my life easier by saving me a lot of time.

    My first trial essay (formal way) The most of industrialized countries in the world are unjustifiably damaging the environment. This is a fact which concerns all countries but not all of them are handling it properly. Some years ago countries reached treatments about environment protection. Despite the fact that there is an international law about water pollution, not all countries that signed the protocol are now respecting it. The industrial sector, which is the main responsible of rivers and sea pollution, has a lot of influence in politics, which means that they get some protection of breaking the rules. We have also issues with transport pollution. Most crowed countries are producing a lot of CO2 beacuse of transport. There are big problems to breath healthy air on big cities, which means that people get sick beacuse of this. Governments are taking it into consideration but still we have a lot of things to do. Though the pesimist reality, I am really sure we can change it. We are all getting aware about this huge problems and despite we have not solved the most of them we are on the road to do it.

    It is a beautiful afternoon I have recentely been borrowed a road bicycle. I am really keen on mountainbiking but I have never tried before road biking. The temperature outside is going down so it seems that now it is the time to try the road bike. I am going to wear my cliclying clothes and prepare all the stuffs (water bottle, tools and gps), after that I am going to ride around and checking out what is it. I hope dont fall, not just because my safety but also because it is an expensive bike and I don´t want to break it down. Actually the person who lent me the bike, my brother, would be more worry about my safety than about the bike If I fell down. Nevertheless, I can not avoid to worry about the bike more than about me. Well, here I go, desire luck to me!! Thanks for reading Italki community. :)

    La Tormenta

    Vivo en las llanuras de Colorado en los Estados Unidos. Tengo gallinas, y un conejo y un jardín muy excelente con plantas de tomate, y pimiento y judías verdes. Al menos, tenía un buen jardín.
    Ayer por la tarde hubo una tormenta terrible. El viento era feroz. Cortinas de lluvia golpeó  golpearon la tierra con gran fuerza. El granizo rompió en pedazos mi jardín. Mis gallinas estaban mojadas y enojado enojadas. El conejo estaba mojado y asustado.
    No voy a tener ningún ningunos tomates o pimientos frescos este año, pero me alegro de que mis animales están bien.


    Te expresas bien. Solo has tenido algún error al tener en cuenta género y número, es muy normal.

    Vigila no repetir "Y", puedes usar comas hasta llegar al ultimo item que estés enumerando donde si es correcto usar "Y"


    Buen trabajo!!  :)
