    In my opinion, the greatest invention in history is electricity. Also, the greatest inventor in history is Nicola Tesla. Notes: 'Electricity' was spelt incorrectly. If we start a sentence with 'also', we need a comma afterwards. The verb 'is' was missing from your second sentence.

    My first impressions of the itaki service.

    I reach found this site while looking for some additional resources for to learn English language.

    I was wondering about this platform and also about writing using the personal notes function. I think it is a great idea, because it can be really helpfull helpful for many people who have decided to learn a foreign language. While they are writing a an essay they get practice* practise in grammar and they get to use their vocabulary. But most important importantly what the italki community can get feedback for on it. Native-speakers can advise you to on how to use their language in the right way.

    I hope what that if i** I still write a an essay a couple of times a week i I will improve my grammar skills and take down the language barrier in my mind.

    Hello Alex,

    The highlighted areas are my changes.  If a highlighted word also has a strikethrough, it means you should remove it.  The asterisks * are for extra notes shown below.

    * practise with an 's' is the British way of spelling this verb.  Practice with a 'c' is the noun, for example, GP practice.

    ** We tend to capitalise 'i' when using the personal pronoun, so 'i like cake' should be 'I like cake'.

    Hope this helps.

    Day two practice

    Seeing a doctor

    I accompanied <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>with</strike></font> my sister to see a doctor. She <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>got</strike></font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">had had </font>a fever for <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>these</strike></font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">a number of </font>days. The doctor had so many appointments that we <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>waited</strike></font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">had to wait </font>there for almost two hours. He is a Korean doctor, who can speak Chinese very fluently. He is one of our <font style="background-color: yellow;">favorite*</font> doctors, although we <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>won't</strike></font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">don't </font>want to meet him <font style="background-color: yellow;">too</font> often <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>in</strike></font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">at </font>the clinic.
    Once I came across him when I <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>bought</strike></font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">was buying </font>some fried chickens as <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>night's snacks</strike></font><font style="background-color: yellow;"> a nighttime snack</font>. Knowing that doctors are just people <font style="background-color: yellow;">and love junk food</font> like us<font style="background-color: yellow;"> is reassuring and interesting at the same time.</font> <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>I still felt interesting when I found that he just loves these junk foods like me</strike></font>.

    Thanks for your corrections and patience!

    Hello Josephine,

    *The spelling of 'favourite' depends on whether you're using British or American spelling (with 'u' is British).

    Hope this helps!

    My name is Berenice

    I am <strike>a student to Engineering</strike> <font style="background-color: yellow;">an engineering student </font>and I <font style="background-color: yellow;">would</font> like to learn English because <font style="background-color: yellow;">it </font>is important for my future<strike>,</strike><font style="background-color: yellow;">.</font> I like <font style="background-color: yellow;">to</font> meet new people.

    Hello Berenice,

    We use 'would like to' to talk about what we want to do in the future.  Consider these two sentences:

    I like learning English.

    I would like to learn English.

    In the first sentence the person is talking in general about what they like, whereas the second sentence is about their goals for the future.

    I hope this helps!

    My first time<font style="background-color: yellow;">.</font>

    Today <font style="background-color: yellow;">is </font>my first day <font style="background-color: yellow;">writing in my </font>English diary . In fact, I have had this idea for a long time<font style="background-color: yellow;">, </font><font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">but</font> because of my <font style="background-color: yellow;">hesitancy </font>I<font style="background-color: yellow;">'ve</font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">only </font>start<font style="background-color: yellow;">ed</font> this today. I hope I can keep <font style="background-color: yellow;">writing in it consistently</font>.
    These days, the weather is bad. <font style="background-color: yellow;">It rains </font>all the time, <font style="background-color: yellow;">so </font>I’m always at home <font style="background-color: yellow;">watching </font>some video<font style="background-color: yellow;">s</font> about language learning <font style="background-color: yellow;">on </font><font style="background-color: yellow;">YouTube </font>or do<font style="background-color: yellow;">ing</font> my assignment<font style="background-color: yellow;">s</font>. Like today, I <font style="background-color: yellow;">watched </font>some channel<font style="background-color: yellow;">s</font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">covering </font>basic Korean to prepare <font style="background-color: yellow;">for </font>my lesson. <font style="background-color: yellow;">I did this</font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">because </font>I <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">didn't </font>have <font style="background-color: yellow;">a good </font>enough <font style="background-color: yellow;">grade</font> this semester.  I <font style="background-color: yellow;">chose </font>Korean lesson<font style="background-color: yellow;">s</font> <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">at </font>school<font style="background-color: yellow;">, even though </font>I <font style="background-color: yellow;">don't know much</font> <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>have</strike></font> <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>no idea</strike></font> about <font style="background-color: yellow;">it </font><font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>this</strike></font>. I don’t know whether this <font style="background-color: yellow;">wa</font><font style="background-color: yellow;">s a good or bad </font>decision.

    I want to <font style="background-color: yellow;">improve</font> my English level, so I <font style="background-color: yellow;">am </font>try<font style="background-color: yellow;">ing</font> different <font style="background-color: yellow;">methods</font>. For example, I <font style="background-color: yellow;">have </font>adjust<font style="background-color: yellow;">ed</font> my cellphone mode from Chinese to English or <font style="background-color: yellow;">I </font>try to use <font style="background-color: yellow;">an</font> English dictionary to <font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">look up new </font>vocabulary.  I have gradually adapted to this. Recently , <font style="background-color: yellow;">I have booked</font> a TOEIC test to examine my English in December . Another reason is that I want to study <font style="background-color: yellow;">at a</font> graduate school <font style="background-color: yellow;">abroad </font>after graduating<font style="background-color: yellow;">,</font><font style="background-color: yellow;"> but </font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">I</font> still have a big weakness in speaking and listening<font style="background-color: yellow;"> in English</font>. I’m always worried about that. I hope I can overcome this problem and <font style="background-color: yellow;">achieve</font> my goal step by step.

Please</strike></font> <font style="background-color: yellow;">please </font>correct <font style="background-color: yellow;"><strike>this</strike></font><font style="background-color: yellow;"> it</font>.

    Hello Damian,

    We don't need a preposition with the expression 'every day'.  'Going to + infinitive' is a slightly better way of expressing future plans here instead of 'will'.  We tend to use 'will' to express a decision made in the moment or when we're not certain about the future, for example 'I hope I will write something in English every day'.  'A' is only used with singular nouns and not the plural.

    Hope this helps.
