    I'm a super beginner in Spanish, so I'm just reading children's books. But I find it best to read all the way through and then go back to look up specific vocabulary. Allowing myself to enjoy the book, even if I don't understand everything, helps me maintain my joy in reading.

    This is a somewhat common phrase in the US. It just means you're tired. You are like a car that is out of gas and will stop at any moment. It's usually said when you are tired but still have to keep working or studying or doing some other activity.

    I think engines used to smoke / fume when they were low on fuel. That's where the phrase comes from.

    When you "don't make the cut," you don't meet the standards or requirements.

    1) Out of a pool of twenty applicants, only 3 met the requirements. ( What meaning??)

    2) <em style="color: rgb(44, 53, 60);">Some say if </em><a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pluto" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(19, 79, 230); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><em>Pluto</em></a><em style="color: rgb(44, 53, 60);"> were discovered today instead of 75 years ago,</em><em> it wouldn't meet the standards for a planet.</em>

    <em style="color: rgb(44, 53, 60);">3) The young player did not </em><em>meet the requirements</em><em style="color: rgb(44, 53, 60);"> and was unable to join the team that year.</em>

    please, could you correct my mistakes in these sentences, thank you!

    I've recently practiced my English grammar, please, let me know if there are any mistakes.

    charity:
    The charity received many clothes from students.
    They organized a charity activity <s>for</s> to raise money to help poor people.

    attendee:
    Tomorrow's conference <s>every</s> attendees must be punctual.

    complimentary shuttle bus:
    All the <s>complimentary </s>shuttle buses are free. You can take them to anywhere if you like.
    ("Complimentary" and "free" are synonyms. You only need one. Both phrases had a unique noun and verb, so they are better as two sentences. The first sentence is in present tense. So the second sentence should be in present tense.)

    participant:
    Most participants are from Philippines.

    accommodation:
    Many accommodation are provided to homeless in the town.
    ("the homeless" or "homeless people" is correct. however advocates feel "people experiencing homelessness" is a nicer way of saying it)

    pursue:
    I am pursuing my dream.

    consume:
    The delivery company consumes <s>a </s>large amounts of plastic every year.

    vomit:
    After drinking alcohol, I vomited up all that I had eaten for dinner.

    diarrhea:
    I had diarrhea yesterday.

    asthma:
    My friend's son has asthma.

    rip off:
    That's so expensive. I'm afraid that you're getting ripped off.

    gullible:
    You're so gullible - don't always trust others so easily!
    Your sentence is technically fine as is but sounds a bit awkward. Adding a "so" helps.

    patio:
    Let's go for a walk on the patio.
    My mother likes spending time on the backyard patio<s> which is in back of my house</s>.

    Todas las palabras aprendo hoy Hoy leo un libro para niños se llama "Adentro." Es sobre un mona en muchas cosas. Yo sabía "baño", pero hoy aprendo la palabra "bañadera." Mi apartamento no tiene una bañadera, solo una ducha. También aprendo la palabra "lodo." Vivo en una ciudad grande, no hay mucho lodo. Hay mucho cemento. Aprendo la palabra "hiebra." Me gusta la hiebra. Cuando miro el perro de mi padres, caminamos al parque. El parque tiene mucha hiebra, pero no está cerca a mi apartamento. Finalmente, aprendo la palabra "barco." Mi ciudad está cerca un lago. El lago tiene muchos barcos. En un clase con mi maestra de español, aprendo las palabras "ocupada," "abierto," y "patrioticas." Las personas de Nueva York son muy ocupadas. Las personas de California son muy abiertas. Y las personas del sur de Estados Unidos son muy patrioticas. Con tarjetas de vocabulario, aprendo las palabras "empezar," "largo," "allí," "medio," y "lado." Los lados del campo de fútbol son muy largos. Si empezo en el medio de campo y termino allí al gol estaria muy cansada.

    Control Z Este año, en junio, yo ví un programa de televisión llamado Control Z. Yo lo vi en inglés porque mi español es terrible, pero quiero ver temporada dos en español. Me encanta un misterio bueno. Normalmente, no me gusta programas o películas sobre jóvenes en escuela. Pero, la trama sobre secretos en Control Z es muy bueno. Quiería conocer todos los secretos en el programa. Mis personajes favoritos son Sofía y Raúl, pero no creo que Raúl debe regresar en temporada dos. Él es un asesino. Sabes algunos programa de televisión similar a Control Z?

    Despite these threatening conditions to Colombian democracy, social movements, activists, and minority groups have explored different forms of criticism, historical memory, and social complaint, <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">in order</s> to unveil (expose may be a better word) their place in society, and enhance (increase, intensify, or magnify may be better words) our dissidence (Archila, et al, 2013) (Gomez, 2019). This has led to an increase in protests and strikes. However, as Iris Marion Young (1990) and Medina (2019;2013) have pointed out, the history of oppression affects the processes of deliberation and many people cannot participate in the same terms in the political arena. They have to fight against insensitivity to their statements and the disregard of the structural oppression inflicted upon them.

    Cryptocurrencies

    In the world of cryptocurrency, there are so many different coins and tokens that trying to research them all can make any person interested in the hobby of investing in cryptocurrency lose interest. In this blog post, you will learn about the top 10 cryptocurrency coins by market cap (the total valuation of the coin or token derived from multiplying the number of coins or tokens by each number of coins or tokens in circulation). There will be more posts attempting to describe in the simplest terms the different projects (wrong word? do you mean products?) that exist in the cryptocurrency world.

    The first cryptocurrency that has been a household name since it burst out to its all time high of 19K is Bitcoin. (19K what? if it's $19K, the dollar sign is necessary. also "burst out is usually used when a product is first launch, but I'm assuming Bitcoin reached 19K at a later date. In 2018, the price skyrocketed to new levels that would change the way cryptocurrency would be looked at. Cryptocurrency obtained the attention of mass media as well as most individuals as they began to see the value of Bitcoin or at least the speculated value of the item. (we would probably not call Bitcoin an item. It'd be better to say "the coin" or "cryptocurrency") Bitcoin would then drop to a new normal of 9K ($9K?) Regardless of <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">the</s> price, Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">that was</s> created back in 2012 and <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">had the ability to</s> allowed individuals <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">the liberty</s> to have their own store of value in these digital coins.

    Bitcoin allowed <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">the</s> individuals <s>the ability </s>to learn about how to store their own cryptocurrency in a specified wallet. There are multiple forms of storing Bitcoin such as a digital wallet or off-line wallet.

The following is an example of a passcode for Bitcoin.

    action, judgment, completion, victory
