Hi everyone, how are things going?
In At the end of last year, my co-workers decided to play Secret Santa (or Kriss Kringle... I don't know which one people are used to saying). So I bought a watch for my secret santa, and I asked for a book.
The problem is that the book would takes around 1 or 2 months to arrive (I knew that), but I asked it anyway.
The name of the book is "The Ultimate Phrasal Verb Book", it's written by Carl Hart.
This book called captured my attention because there are a lot of exercises, and you know... "Only practice makes perfect". I do believe that it's gonna ("gonna" is a terrible word...!) help me to improve my English.
So... yeah, this wait is killing me.
That's it guys :)
See ya, and feel free to comment or correct my English mistakes ('cause I know there are lots hahaha).

Hi everybody,
Here is the introduction of an essay. What do you think about it ? Thank you for your suggestions and corrections !
Governments plays a major role in a nation. They are responsible for the well-being of each citizens and the proper functioning of the country. As so, some countryies think they are responsible for the health and the well-being of each citizens, and that it's their role to iensure medical care and a good health care system for people who need medical cares. However, in other countries, the role of the state in the health of the citizens is contested. Some countryies just cannot think about guaranteeing the health of their citizens. Their position is to say that each personople must guarantee his healthcare ; the society is not responsible for the medical cares of the neighbors. But as the years passed, the healthcare and medical system, in countries who refused to endorse the health of the citizens, is deteriorating. Some people just cannot go to the dentist or to a physician any more. So we can really ask "is it the role of governments to guarantee the health of their citizens" ?0 votedJanuary 17, 20171One of my usuall days
