Practice

It's been a while since I last wrote in English, so I decided to give it a try. I don't want to forget the little I learnt and, at the same time, I would like to write about my country. In case you are wondering Spain has no president since December 2015. I don't think there is a nation in the whole world where there is a situation like this. After two general elections, politicians have not seen fit to come to an agreement on how to rule the country. About a week ago it seemed that the agreement was closer than ever, but right now word has it that new elections may take place again next December.If this proves to be true, there is a date for such elections: December 25th. When I first heard the date I supposed that it was some kind of joke, but it wasn't. The president said that if new elections are necessary all politicians will be making a fool of themselves. However, this is not a new situation for them, as they have been doing it since December 2015. I suppose that for things like this everybody says that Spain is different.

There wasn't much to correct!

Childhood!

Childhood is a special time. When we were children, we could believe in Santa Claus, or in fluffy unicorns or in fairies. And how disappointed we were, when we knew, that Santa Claus it is only fiction.
But, everyone's childhood was different. Some people didn't have parents. They didn't stop believing in their dreams, but they became stronger.
Each of us has our own history of childhood that shapes our life.

Witness who stopped Stanford sexual assault speaks out - Transcript

I have tried to transcribe a 1 minute length video from The Guardian. I would be glad if you could listen to the video and correct my transcription. Thank you in advance!

MY ATTEMPT OF TRANSCRIPTION:
Brock Turner's six months jail sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious and intoxicated woman in outside of a fraternity party It is still stirring outrage from critics who say it is not enough.

Witness Karl Frederik Arndt  says he was riding his bike when he saw Turner on top of the victim behind the dumpster. "So we call him out and the guy ran away. I heard Peter chase after him and I ran after as well then we detained him until the police came essentially."

"She was unconscious?"

"She was unconscious, entirely"

In his son’s defense, Brock's father’s wrote a letter saying the sentence was a quote “Steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action”. But Standford law professor Michele Dauber disagrees. "This sentence is making all women in Standford less safe because it’s sending the message to women students 'if this happens to you, you are on your own'.

And the protests are far from over. US senator Barbara Boxer is one of more than one four hundred thousand people who signed a petition demanding that the judge would be removed for imposing what they say is a too lenient sentence for an indefensible crime.

Great job! The witness was hard to understand, so I'm impressed by how much you got right. I took some liberties with formatting to help distinguish when someone other than the narrator is speaking.

What Can I Do

There are just 5 days left, I will attend school and face the exam. I am really afraid that i can not pass it and that I will feel very upset. I really want to learn or review,but I am always distracted by the phone, I watch movies on my phone and I check websites on my phone. I buy things on my phone. I do everything on my phone. I waste a lot of time on my phone. My phone is evil. I live in the fictitious world for too long. I really want to turn back to reality now. What can I do?

Your statement makes sense. Your sentence structure needs work. Do not combine too many statements into one sentence. Use a period to end each sentence. When you use the word "I" use uppercase.

Masters and

While I am writing this entry I am listening the Franz Listz`s Concert #1 in Flat Major,performed by Lang Lang. This is a record recording of the BBC promps session, which took place on in 2011. You do not need to be a classical music fan to enjoy this play composition beacuse its because it is inherit inherently beautiful. Neither do you need to be able to play piano to apreciate appreciate Lang´s work. In fact, you easily realize that both musicians are masters themselves in their own areas, one as compositor composer and the other as concert pianist. Being a frustrated amateur musician, I wonder what makes this these kind of people so unique. It is not a matter of hard work or a lot of training. Many people spend hundreds of hours studying piano for a long time however, there aren´t they aren't able to play a few chords of that play composition. Something equal comes out regarding There is something similar regarding sports. I can reach (not?) understand how a human being (or perhaps not) is able to do what Phelps, Bolt and others else do. Are their bodies, brains or willing will made up of other another Kind of cells than mine? Although I (or most of us) had have trained round around the clock since I was a child so that master(?) I wouldn't have achieved their goals. I know what I say may seems a seem to be a truism. I understand there are people really out of the crowd, but it is so big the gap so out of the crowd that I quite cannot hardly understand it. At least, we can not only enjoy what they are able to do but also dream that we (unlikely) will be able to do too the same, in the next life.
