Coffee shops

Can someone help me to revise my text? Thank you.

Coffee shops are have become very popular in Taiwan in recent years. Café owners provide free WiFi and if customers order a cup of coffee, they can stay there all day. People do different things there such as writing, reading, chatting or watching the blockbuster movies.
Today's Ccafés are totally different from the previous Café how they were in the 17th century. The first coffee shop has was set up in London, in 1650. It was originally a meeting place for lively debate. P and people paid a penny to get in.They allowed access to newspapers and have a participated in stimulating conversation there. Compared with the previous coffee shops, today's coffee shops are quieter. People normally sit on their own, -tapping away on their laptops. I reckon that free-WiFi should be turned off in a coffee shop. because there are too many people who like to hog a comfy chair there and stay there all day. They are too many 'squatters' in cafés. like to squat in Café. I bet that coffee shop owners are definitely can't find it difficult to make any profits. Eespecially when some of them don't even buy a coffee.

Do you speak usually? (Better: Are you usually the speaker, or the listener?)

Try to remember what do you tell your friends every day? Are these themes important for you? Or you just talk about the "weather"? Or you usually don't talk?

When I ask myself these questions I find that more most othoften I ask my friends about anything and very rarely tell something. It is really interesting for me to ask. I can find interesting for me a lot of themes. I'm interested in many topics. Sometimes I think it is the reason why I get along with new people well. I just ask them about what I'm interestinged in and they answer me and we're both happy.

How do you think can we figure out what about person usually think if we every day listen to what does he speak about? (? Perhaps: Do you think that what a person speaks  about most is a reflection of what they're thinking?)  Is it possible most part of every day to think about one thing and speak with your friends about something completely different another thing?

I think it is possible. It can happen due to different reason but it isn't good anyway. I think that we need to check yourselfourselves, and to check our thinking. I believe that it is easy to make a mistake and don't not catch it in time. It isn't funny to build yourself and through time to realize that for example a year ago you were thinking the wrong way got wrong in your thinking and all year you'd been doing something wrong. But on the one hand it is a happy ending becoause you realized it. Worse if you continue to live with it your whole life. It is dangerous to think you know more than others thinking that you know better than other. You need to share your thinking and listen to yourself in this moment. It is strange but it will sound differently then inside your head when you just think about it. It is strange effect for me.) I don't understand why it is happen. this happens.

Ratschläge:

- Wenn wir über das Thema des Gesprächs sprechen, nennen wir das häufiger auf Englisch 'topic' statt 'theme'.

- Normalerweise fangen wir ein Satz nicht mit 'But' an.

"Whitegirl" by Kate Manning

Hey, in the following text I tried to summarize an excerpt of Kate Manning's book "Whitegirl". One month to go until I have to pass my final exams. Would be glad if you could give me any advice. Thank you:)


The excerpt "Whitegirl" by Kate Manning, published in 2001 (can I also say: appeared in 2001? No, I would just say "which was published in 2001"). The excerpt deals with a couple - of black and white skin color. who come from different racial backgrounds.

After an attack on Charlotte, she is unsure whom to believe - her husband or the police

The main character, Charlotte Halsey, fell in love with a man named Milo Robicheaux. He is was the first black athlete and she was is a beautiful white model. He was just later became her husband. As a result of their relationship, Charlotte was attacked. After she has been attacked with a piece of broken glass everything is different. The police can allegedly prove that her husband attacked her, however Milo claims that he saved her life. Due to her injuries, her voice might inevitably be gone.
Her husband is still in jail and sends her letters in which he begs her to come and visit him. She doesn't know what to do. One the one hand she is unsure whether there is something new to find out, on the other hand, Milo (allegedly?) resisted custody and even punched a police officer.
Charlotte and Milo both can both be jealous and there remains the question as to if he once or still (the excerpt is not specific regarding this point) he had another woman.

Spirited Away

Many years ago, I watched the Japanese animation Spirited Away. Bby that time, I was very confused about the story,. I even thought the content of the story was totally absurd, but it was is maybe due to the poor translation or the culturale difference.

Yesterday, I googled the story online, and I got some understanding senses of the story.

Chihiro was a spoiled and innocent 10 year-old s girl, who she was studying in the Grade 4. One day, her parents and she and her parents got lost in a spirited town., when As they were walking in the town, they encountered some lavish food., hHer parents couldn't resist the temptations and started to gobble the food, but Chihiro refused. Finally her parents were punished got their penalty and became two pigs.

In During the adventures and as a result of for saving her parents, Chihiro gradually grew up into a mature and sophisticated girl.

I am fascinated by the last part, as/ because it is a journey full of a girl’s expectations.

In accordance with the rules from the magic wold, Chihiro had to find out her parents from the 20 pigs who had the same appearance as one another. But when Chihiro searched carefully, with the high expectations that her parents had have become more tender and sympathetic by experiencing so many difficulties, Chihiro found there was no one like her parents, then she said they were not there.

Since then the magic rules had been dissolved. The white dragon escorted her to the magic world and told her to keep walking, and never looked back. Chihiro asked:” Tthen how about you?” Tthe white dragon said:”I have retrieved my name and I certainly will come back”.”sShould we meet in that world?” Chihiro asked. ”yes, we will”. The white dragon reassured her. Chihiro hold held her tears and didn’t look back. She catched up her parents, to much of her dismay (? You could say: She eventually found her parents, and found that unfortunately xxx), her parents were still as cold and selfish as before. But now Chihiro was a totally different girl, she knew how to live her life.

It was time that she could look back, she retrospected her past for a long time, every details started to emerge in her mind. (Possible sentence here: It was a time in which she was able to look back and reflect on her past. As she did so, tiny details re-emerged) The main point for her is whether the withe dragon could come back the world and meet her again, tThis is a longing expectation from a girl, only an innocent girl could know how precious the friendship and desires are.
