    Lección de salsa Vivo en un pequeño pueblo en Inglaterra. No hay ningún cine ni un metro pero hay dos barres de Salsa. He encontrado que la gente de Inglaterra le gusta mucha bailar de salsa. ¿Sabe usted que el Inglaterra es la capital de la Salsa en Europa? No lo supe, también. El lunes pasado, tuve mi primera lección de salsa. Eran las ocho y media de la noche. Fui con mi marido a pesar de que no le gusta bailar. Estuvimos cansados porque venimos del trabajo. El lugar estuvo oscuro y mal estado, el clima estuvo frío. Casi fuimos a casa. El clase tuvo sobre veinte estudiantes, jóvenes y viejos. El profesor estuvo muy amable y nos enseñó unos pocos pasos como el paso básico y el mambo. La música y baile nos hizo calentar y era muy divertido. Además, Salsa es un buen ejercicio. Seguro vamos a volver el lunes que viene.

    Que hice hoy. Esta mañana, hice la compra y fui a la manicura. Entonces, conocí a mi amiga en un restaurante y tuvimos algo comida. Comimos patatas y carne de vaca con verdura. Eso es comida típica de Inglaterra. Bebimos unas tazas de té y charlé durante más de una hora. Después de comida, fui a mi casa. Tuve que limpiar la casa, no me gusta porque soy la única persona que limpia el baño, Los otros lo usan pero no lo limpian. También hice una pizza de pepperoni para mi familia. Lo compré al supermercado. Fue muy fácil de hacer pero estaba delicioso. Ahora, he terminado mis trabajos para hoy, así que voy a ver una película en la tele con mi familia. Sin embargo, está tan tarde, es diez y media de la noche. Creo que voy a dormir. De hecho, mi hijo ya está durmiendo. ¡Buenas noches todos!

    Thinking in front of my silly table.

    I was sat in front of at my silly table, thinking about what to do ("what I could do" sounds better) with my life when a shiny thought did appeared in my mind.! ("popped into my head" sounds better.) "I would like to build a nanobot cloak!" But as I am so too lazzy to built this kind of things, so another thought did appear appeared in my mind "I would like to build a motorised broomstick!" How I would love to fly with it! But it is would be  too difficult to build, and I am so very lazy. So, yet another thought did appeared in my mind. "I want to become in a magician and I would like to do away the laptops of ordinary people." But it that could be so very dangerous. So, I  put on my (old?) wore with my grumpy  shoes and walked to walk around the park, and to reckon thinking about what to do with my life.


    Nice little story, just a few corrections. The phrase "popped into my head" is common in English. Also "grumpy" is used to describe a person's mood, it's not used for describing inanimate objects.

    Well done!

    History of Mazagan (Mazagão) – Connection among with Portugal, Morocco and Brazil.

    Mazagan was a fortified town on the coast of Morocco that is today known as El Jadida City. It was founded by the Portuguese in 1502 during a time of war with the Moors. during the Portuguese settlement. It happened wars with and Moors. 

    Christians, Jews and Muslims lived peacefully together inside the town  and it became an an important route to go to India.
    In 1769, the sultan Mohammad Ben Abdallah conquested conquered Mazagan, and the Portuguese citizens were forced to  get out the town and  leave so they were moved to the Amazon Region in Brazil.

    In Brazil, Tthey founded a new village called New Mazagan, which is today, the only Mazagan site in Amapá State. The Pombal Marquess brought an Italian architect called Domingo Sambucetti to built build a the new settlement.

    The Brazilian Mazagan is divided in two parts, The Old Mazagan (the original settlement) and the New Mazagan (the modern one part). El Jadida which has the original Portuguese Ffortification and Portuguese cistern are now UNESCO heritage sites.

    Thank you, that was very interesting. Good effort! 

    Just a few minor corrections:

    "during the Portuguese settlement..." - A "settlement" is a place so the sentence is not clear - you could say "During the period of Portuguese were settling there were wars with the Moors" OR "At the time the Portuguese were building the settlement there were wars with the Moors"

    "Christians, Jews and Muslims lived peacefully together" (or harmoniously) The sentence seems to need an adverb to emphasise the significance of the Christians, Jews and Muslims living together. Likewise "has the original Portuguese Ffortification and Portuguese cistern are UNESCO heritage." for emphasis.

    Also remember to useful word  "which" and watch the capitalisation!

    Sentences - "earth-shattering" and "get off the ground"

    "Earth-shattering - something that has a profound (great) impact. 

    The death of my grandfather was an earth-shattering news - Good example though it sounds a bit awkward. I would just say "The death of my grandfather was earth-shattering." or "When I received the earth-shattering news that my grandfather had died....."

    It is difficult to explain but using the word "news" in your sentence seems to move the focus away from your grandfather's death and put it on the news itself. This implies that the news is actually more earth-shattering than the death of your grandfather.

    Some other examples: 

    What an earth-shattering election result.

    He looked so serious I thought he had something earth-shattering to say.

    My team won with an earth-shattering goal!

    She is sad because she received some earth-shattering news.

    "Off the ground" to get started - normally used in a business context, your example is perfect. 

    I think my career will get off the ground in the next year.  

    Some other examples:

    I need £2500 to get my business off the ground.

    We need a marketing company to get our product off the ground.

    I'll only get my blog off the ground if I advertise it.

    Hope this helps!

Algunos días no tuve comida ¡no es bueno cuando se trabaja hasta las ocho en punto! Sin embargo, mañana es el sábado así que voy a despertar tarde. En realidad, hoy no ha estado malo, tuve comida con mis compañeros de trabajo, incluso conocí a una persona nueva, un visitante de España. Él vive cerca de Alicante y está visitando por negocios. Se llama Luis y es muy agradable. Me dijo que mi acento español está muy bien (por una inglesa) que me hizo sonreír. Para ser honesto, lo habla inglés mucho mejor que hablo español. Ahora, el día ha termido y me siento mejor. Estoy en mi cama y voy a dormir pronto así tengo que decir ¡buenas noches, qué tengas un buen fin de semana!

    Diary Entry for December 3rd

    It is in the depth of winter and the temperature is getting lower and lower. In order to defend against the cold snap, preparing your winter gear is  necessary  essential. 
    Firstly we you can wear a thermal underwear，it clings to our bodies the body tightly and keeps it warm.
    Then we you can wear add a wool jumper or turtleneck. Moreover and if you are totally  really afraid of cold，a wool vest is necessary too.
    Finally, is the coat. There are many kinds of coats made by from different materials，for example，down coats，fur coats，leather jackets and trench coats. You could choose your preferable one. Take your pick!
    P.S. A lot of accessories are also available to keep warm，such as，shawls，scarves，beanies，boots and gloves or mittens.


    Good effort!  Just one suggestion -  you started off referring to the second-person plural (i.e. you, as in "preparing your winter gear) but switched to first-person plural (we - "we can wear") you should be consistent, basically decide which you want to use and stick with it as it reads better.

    Racial equality rather than gender equality should be the main priority for a country leader.

    It is undoubtedly true that every country leader should fight racial inequality, so that all the people, whatever race they are or whatever language they speak, have the same rights, such as education or health care. But it is also known that gender equality should be guaranteed, so that our countries are as developed are they are supposed to be.
    In Spain, the number of women killed due to gender violence is frighteningly increasing every year. And what is more, nowadays teenagers are thought to be more sexist than they were twenty years ago. Therefore, we ought to wonder if our society is evolving in a the correct way. Laws state that women have the same rights and opportunities as men, with regard to education, job and other issues. However, in practice, people realise that this is not true. For some women, for instance, it is still difficult to find a job in business, especially if they are expected to have children.
    As for racial inequality, it is a well known fact that immigrants don't have the same opportunities for example, as Spanish people to find a job. They are sometimes rejected just because of their race. Moreover when they find one, it will probably be a bad job.
    So governments should make a huge effort to control and punish all these kinds of inequalities, if we want our country to be really developed. We should value people for what they are, not for their appearance.
    To sum up, as far as I am concerned, no country leader should choose between one of these issues, but both of them ought to be achieved.


    Very well done! Very sophisticated, I look forward to speaking Spanish at the same level!!! I enjoyed your writing.

    Here are some suggestions for you,  grammatically you are correct but as a native English speaker I would say the following, as they sound a lot more natural.

    "a correct way" I would say "the right way"

    " with regard to education, job and other issues. " I would say "with regards to education, employment and so on"

    "they are expected to have children" I would say "if they decide to have children" it's the women who decide to have children, the employer does not expect this of them.

    " it will probably be a bad job"  - bad is very vague (and relative) I would say " it would probably be a menial job". 

    "So governments should " I would say "So governments must." "Must" emphasises the seriousness of the issue and implies the governments do not have a choice in the matter.

    "every country leader" - "every world leader"

    Another point, you conclude that "no country leader should choose between one of these issues, but both of them ought to be achieved." but your title suggests "Racial Equality" should be prioritised so you might want to change the title.

    Hope this helps!
