    Entry Number 24

    Currently, I can`t find an exact subject which I want to write (about, at the moment) here now.
    But (However,) I need to write a few sentence for (to) supporting my writing skills. So, here I go.
    I want (to) write down some thoughts about my dog!
    I have got a small dog. This (She) is a sort of York (Yorkshire?) Terrier (I hope that it a proper title for this is the right name of the breed/ breed name).
    The Name of my dog is Carol. My family very love(s) her very much. We don`t (can't) imagines our life without that small dog.
    I think that existing any kind of animals (living) in (a) home giving (has) a good positive effect (affect/impact) for (on the) owners this animals.
    Thank you if you have read and fix(ed) this text, no matter who you are!


    Well done! Affect(verb)/effect(noun) confuses a lot of people so as a general rule if something changes something else it affects it but the result from the change, is an effect. Good luck in your studies!

    Please make them natural and more influence :
    Speaking 1 : An ideal place for studying in
    well, I'd definitely go with my bedroom. There are many reasons why I always pick this place for studying. First, the room is bright, I can say it's kind of well-lit with 2 lamps and 2 large windows (through) which sunlight <strike style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">past</strike> (passes) <strike>through them</strike> and make(s) it more airy. (S)econd, it's quiet and spacious (enough) to <strike>put</strike> (place) all <strike>stuff</strike> (of the things) I need. Besides, there is a small bed, sofa, TV, chair, bookcase, mirror and (a) big poster on the wall.The TV is opposite of the sofa so I can watch it or play video game(s) when I sit on the sofa. I also have a big desk for my laptop and notes which is located under the one of the windows. This is where I actually sit down and study. I love this room very much and I have made it comfy for my needs. It's a warm(,) cozy place where I can relax and catch up on my studies.

    Speaking two: A famous person you admire:
    Well, there is a notable number of people who have made major difference in the world. The person I would like to talk about is a popular American boxer and a loving father who brought hope and courage to his country. This inspirational man goes by the name of James J. Braddock. I have chosen this man because I think he is a true hero in my eyes and many others. He is someone who overcame several amazing <strike>thresholds</strike> (challenges) in life and who can be an inspiration to his country and to the world. I think this man fits my definition perfectly. All in all, my personal connection to James J. Braddock is in his inspiration for what I dream to grow up to be. I hope to maybe someday be a hero myself, maybe not in the same way as this inspirational man, but to inspire the people of this world. (T)his wonderful man <strike>showed</strike> (taught) us to fight for <strike>your</strike> (our) dreams like he did. He was a great boxer who boxed his way out of darkness and defeat <strike>into the stuff of immortality</strike> (and became a legend).

    This was very naturally written! Good job! Everything in () is what I added. There were a couple if words that needed capital letters, but overall it sounded very conversational. Let me know if you have any questions regarding my corrections. I hope you have fun learning english!

    Start to Learning (Starting to learn) English

    Recently, I start(ed) to practicing (practice) my speaking about English.

    Because I think my English (is) still not good (because) I can write a lot(,) but I can’t speak fluently.
    These problems make me feel sad and (I) don’t have (the) courage to speak English. And the most terrible thing is I have a serious accent(.) I can’t tell (speak) English clearly or fluently. Sometimes my friends also can’t understand what I said.

    Then, I have some foreign penpals; we always write letter(s) (to) each other. And one of them, my American friend(,) once told me she want(s) to visit my country in the future. Then she hopes I can be her guide. I feel so happy but (I) still think that I can’t do it well by myself. As a result, I start(ed) to learning how to speaking clearly and change my serious accent. I hope I can speak well when she visit(s)! I don't want to give up even if it's too difficult to (for) me.

    Finally, I decide(d) to post a text here everyday. and thank for these people (Thank you, everyone) who help(s) me to find mistakes in the text.
    Have a nice day!

    Best wishes,Esther


    First of all, great job on your entry! There are very few mistakes and most of them are minor! 

    I corrected the entry to sound natural when speaking. I don't think you should worry about writing perfect grammatically correct entries since you are still learning to speak fluent english. However, a few points on formal writing: generally don't start a sentence with "and" or "because". "Because" can start a sentence but only if it is explaining the reason for something. Example: "Because I work too much, I am tired." (This is okay) (If you are answering, in formal writing, a question "why are you tired?" You can't write "Because I am tired." You have to write out "I am tired because I work too much." But in everyday conversation it is perfectly alright to say "Because I am tired".)

    I hope this makes sense to you. If not, feel free to contact me and I'll try to explain as best as I can. I wish you the best of luck in your studies!
