Describing Objects
Today I'll try to describe some objects, for which I don't know the equivalent word in English. I could check the translation at linguee.com, for example, but I rather try to express myself by explaining how is the object itself or what it does.
The first one you connect or plug in the outlet so you can turn on more than one electrical device at the same time. For instance, if you use this object, you don't have to worry about having only one outlet in on a certain wall of your living room because it allows you to turn on your TV, Home Theather, and Blue-Ray Player altogether.
The second one you normally have in your kitchen. It's made of steel - I think - and it's used for opening bottles, like beer bottles. It has a circle or something like that. You attach screw ( I don't know the right verb that would describe the action here ) this circle into the part of the bottle you want to remove - and for which I also don't know the name. That is so it's the third thing I want to know what to call how is it called in English - and then you pull this object out ( the second one ), and by doing so you remove the third object from the bottle. I hope someone understands all this...The first one is a power strip or surge protector. The second one is a corkscrew and the third is a cork :). Nice work!
0 votedMay 5, 20171The Pursuit of Happyness
The film that I'd would like to review is The Pursuit of Happyness. This film is based on a the true story of Chris Gardner, a salesman struggling to build a better future for yourself himself and his son of 5 years old son.
The main theme of the film is to never give up of yours dreams. Although a lot of many difficulties may can appear, if you hard work and have with focus and determination, you'll eliminate these difficulties and achieve your goal.
It's one of the best films that I've ever seen and I'd certainly I'd recommend it as one of the most uplifting films of all times.Nice work on this one :)

We oftens receive our salary in on the 10th every month, but in this month they didn't pay our salary on time. My boss said "Most clients did not pay, so they we don't have enough money to pay salary. Please wait some a few days". Some people in my company need money to buy rice, foods and medicines for their family. If they don't have money, they can take a loan from other people, but the interest rate is very high. Although I didn't not get my salary on time, but I am living with my parents so I don"t worry about that it too much. The company is actually this is a small company one, there are only 20 employees. Half of them are from another town and they rent rooms in this town.
Let's see what happens.Nice work :) If this is a true story, I hope things change for the better soon!
0 votedApril 13, 20171The word "get"..there is nothing similar in my mattern mother language
The word "get" is used in many differents expressions. For example, it can express e.g. an action that is happening right now: "I'm getting dressed", or "I'm getting used to the laptop". It can also express something that happened in the past: "My friend got hit in the leg".
Additionally, it can signify Or something to that will happen very soon: "I will get home soon". Besides, if we you also add the phrasal verbs, (get out, get up....) !the list is huge!
Particularly The above topic is very misleading for non-native person speaker!Thanks for your perspective, it never occurred to me that we use "get" to mean so many different things!
0 votedApril 13, 20171The Best Learning Approach
To improve my English I thought about doing to do a conversation class simulating various situations: to be in a restaurant, to be in the at school, to be in the airport or even inside the airplane, to be in a park, among other situations.
That way I believed that I would be forced to use diverse words inside in accordance with the scope of the place/situation that we imagined to be we were in.
In the initial classes I didn't tell my teacher what I thought. I thought: "I'm going to wait and see which approach she's going to adopt in your her teaching."
The last class I did with my Italki teacher was very so good, because we talked about a lot different of situations, and the talk conversation flowed so well that one hour flied flew by quickly.
So I've concluded that the bad part of my initial approach was that the talk conversation couldn't flow naturally by us pretending to be in situations that we aren't in.0 votedApril 1, 20171- El Subjuntivo Desde finales de Febrero, he empezado a estudiar español de nuevo. He encontrado maestros buenos aquí en italki que me han ayudado mejorar mi español. Un aspecto del idioma que estudio por la primera vez es el subjuntivo. Esto es algo que no estudié mucho en el pasado. Ahora, no es fácil para mi a incluir el subjuntivo en mis frases (escrito o hablado), pero estoy segura que esto cambiaré pronto, con más práctica.April 1, 201730
Girl Died Dead Over From Searching for the Legendary Pope Lick Monster
This monster is known as a half-human, half-goat creature who can hypnotize people and let make them step on the Pope Lick Trestle to be killed by the train.
A girl named Bain heard this story and decided to hang out with her boyfriend that Saturday night to look for the legendary monster on the trestle.
They failed to notice the oncoming train until it was too late. Her boyfriend survived by hanging over the side of the trestle but Bain did not make it. She was hit and fell from the trestle, and she died at the scene.
Just imagine it, in on such a quiet night, how could they did not even detect the running train? The only explanation that makes sense is that had really been hypnotized. Jesus, that's fucking creepy! Maybe it was her boyfriend that killed her and placed the blame on the Goatman had to take the blame?Nice work!
