- About my country: Argentina and Buenos AiresArgentina is a beautiful country that is MADE UP OF twenty- three provinces. I only know Buenos Aires. I grew up there and I can say, without any DOUBTS, that IT is a perfect place for tourists.The other day, I went to the Bosques de Palermo (Palermo Forest) where I saw the rose garden. Many engineers collaborated ON the creation of this amazing place. [, very useful at the moment of taking photos. <—I am not sure what you mean here]Palermo Forest has a bridge that APPEARS ON many POSTCARDS . I saw many BRITISH touristS THERE.Thank you for reading this. I AWAIT your correction.(Nice, Sofia !)0 votedDecember 19, 20193
Description of a movie
Last week I watched a movie called Collateral Beauty.
It’s a drama about a man who lost his daughter, starring Will Smith. I like the soundtrack and I’ve added those songs to my playlist.
The main character (Will Smith) is Howard. At the beginning of the movie, he is giving a motivational lecture to his employees. He is a successful, strong, and confident man who leads his own company. He is surrounded by friends and other good people.
After that, we see events from two years later.
Howard is depressed. He doesn’t want to work, lead people, or live. He feels so bad because his daughter has died.
So, his best friends decide to help him because he can’t handle loneliness and depression. They found actors to play three roles for Howard. These were Death, Time and Love. These actors performed very well; they played their roles and help to solve some of the problems with Howard’s friends.
After that Howard joins a group where people discuss their children who have died. He talks with a woman who has lost her daughter too, but he doesn’t talk about himself he just listens to her story.
At the end of the movie Howard signs documents to save his company (earlier he refused to do that) and went to the woman's house and we discover that she was his wife and they had told us about their daughter earlier…
It was a good movie.Very good, Nikolai! In describing an event or movie, keep it either in past tense or present (present is very common). I kept your writing in the present tense, except where you described the creation of the movie (the actors Death, Time and Love).
0 votedJuly 26, 20171- This is a highly debated topic. :-) Excerpted from The Guide to Grammar and Writing: "Some writers will say that the -s after Charles' is not necessary and that adding only the apostrophe (Charles' car) will suffice to show possession. Consistency is the key here: if you choose not to add the -s after a noun that already ends in s, do so consistently throughout your text. William Strunk's Elements of Style recommends adding the 's. (In fact, oddly enough, it's Rule Number One in Strunk's "Elementary Rules of Usage.") You will find that some nouns, especially proper nouns, especially when there are other -s and -z sounds involved, turn into clumsy beasts when you add another s: "That's old Mrs. Chambers's estate." In that case, you're better off with "Mrs. Chambers' estate.""0 votedJuly 26, 20172
- Languages don't always have an answer to why things are done the way they are. This is from the online Cambridge dictionary: "When we ask for permission politely, we can use "would you mind if I + past" or "do you mind if I + present": Would you mind if I turned on this light? Do you mind if I sit here?"0 votedJuly 26, 20171
The only person not sleeping
In Brazil it is about 2 a.m. and I am at my uncle's house for a short visit. I arrived today and I go back tomorrow.
Here everyone is asleep right now, but I cannot sleep. I have not slept. Maybe I want to drink some water or read a book...
So I am listening to music on a cell phone and writing on italki, although I want to sleep.
Thank you for reading my text.0 votedJuly 23, 20171
