We say it often here in the States. It’s like being a stand up person and following through on on obligation or a favor. “He’s a solid dude.” You’ll also hear: “Do me a solid...” which means do me a favor.

Balance.

MESSAGES

For any internet user it is not uncommon to get strange messages ranging from marriage proposals to somebody asking for a greeting for her girlfriend on her birthday once in a while. Luckily for me, living in a third world country spares me from getting all those pesky scam messages about a box stuck in Niger with a luxurious piece of jewelry inside.
Anyhow, my favorite PM so far is "I hate your country, and your people and I wish an earthquake wiped it out from the face of the earth".
Nonetheless, to top it all, today I got one from some guy offering to serve me and send me money. "Use me as a human ATM" he asked. Of course, I couldn't help but laugh. Then, after a quick research on the web, I came to realize that there's a fetish named "findom" in which men get aroused by sending money to strange women.
In fact, there're thousands of websites intended to connect people with this interest, I mean, men willing to give money and women willing to accept it. However, this is more complex than it seems. First of all, because those men lured by this idea have a clear fantasy in mind wanting to fulfill, and secondly because the woman in charge of fulfilling that fantasy needs to have some manipulation skills, especially to get into the heads of these guys, and those skills require time to be honed. 

To sum up, those who are into this fetish should resort to a professional domina and no to a random woman on the net.

Report in English

I had to write a short report in English today, but I don't know if it's well written.

Ivonne is able to use familiar everyday expressions and basic phrases. She has been able to introduce herself and she can also answer questions about personal details such as where she lives and what she does at work. She is able to interact in a simple way since her use of grammar structures are very limited as she has only used simple present structures during the interview.
She has been able to understand 79% of the listened words including complex structures and intermediate vocabulary, which is notable; it means that she understands different verb tenses but she hasn't been trained to make them part of her regular speech.
She must improve her speaking skills and increase her knowledge of grammar in order to interact at a satisfactory level.
