- What Are You Optimistic About?The coursebook I use for learning English proposed that I write a paragraph answering the question 'What are you optimistic about?'. There were several topics to choose and I chose the first one as the most relevant for me right now. So, I'm going to tell you that I'm optimistic about my career.It really bothers me these days because of the situation in the world economy. As a consequence of the lockdowns, many companies have to be closed or at least review their budgets and resources. Although I'm still a part of my company, I'm without paid work at this moment.Despite that, I think this time gives us a good opportunity to overview our skills and the situation in our profession. No doubt, only those who are flexible and ready to evaluate the new situation quickly and find an appropriate position will continue to work in our, almost certainly, new world. I'm a bit apprehensive about starting to work on a new project after a long period of not working on tasks. However, now I'm trying to do my best to improve my skills in order to be ready for new job requirements. And although the end of pandemic is still a long way off, I firmly believe that my company will find new partners and things will be better in the near future.0 votedApril 29, 20201
- MeditationsA few months ago, when I was hanging out with my friends, I listened to some guys saying that they wanted to make sure that tonight they were going to hook up with some girl. That made me remember several years ago thinking that it’s a mistake to propose a goal for yourself that isn't up to you. Go out with your friends and meet people because you enjoy it, but do it without a goal in mind, because otherwise you can think that you have failed and that affects your self-steem.In the tv series westworld, one of the characters reaches the conclusion that consciousness isn’t the top of a pyramid, consciousness is self-introspection in the shape of a maze, with conciousness in the middle.So, I reached the conclusion that the seduction, isn’t like try ing to catch a butterfly, it isn’t straight line to an objective. It’s about building an atmosphere, like creating a garden where the butterfly wants come in. It's a circle that spreads outwards.Good job- most of my edits were changing little words- (by for, to) and the order of words. I love Westworld too!0 votedApril 29, 20201
- Healthcare - 2What is the difference between private and public healthcare in your country?Good question! Some of my friends prefer to make appointments only with private doctors. I personally have the benefit of having an extra insurance policy paid by my employer that allows me to visit private clinics without paying. I would say the service is better in private clinics, as well as the interior. That`s why you may think that treatment is better in private clinic, but in my opinion that mostly depends on the personality of the doctor.What are your views on alternative options to modern medicine? Have you ever tried acupuncture, aromatherapy, chiropractic, or reflexology?When I hear "alternative medicine", the first thing which comes to my mind is traditional medicine which uses no medicine but uses herbs, and patients which visit faithhealers instead of GPs. Well, I don`t know anything about homeopathy or chiropractic and I would not call acupuncture a medicine.I have tried thai massage which might be not just a massage but "energy work" as some masters call it. My belief in alternative medicine is unclear. On one side I believe stories of being healed instead of having injections or having an operation as all the illnesses are caused by the way we think. On another side, in case a patient needs an operation, it may be too late for alternative medicine. So in my opinion alternative medicine such as aromatherapy can help us stay healthy in the case that there is no illness, but is not efficient in case of disease.0 votedApril 29, 20200

- 5) "Your" filty room... 6) The air "conditioning" is acting up, "and" I "am" about to freeze to death if you don't repair it. other that these two the sentences are totally correct- as a native speaker I assumed they were just typing mistakes, but I corrected them anyway just in case.0 votedApril 29, 20201
- There is no difference Explanation: normally "implementing" would be a continuous action, so it means they aren't flipping a switch, the implementation is a process that they are going through over time. But, "start to" already means that something is a continuous process with a beginning, middle, and end. (By the way, it should be "Do you know when we start implementing "the" new feature"0 votedApril 29, 20200
- How much time do you need to fall in love? (translated from article)A person can fall in love very quickly. According to British scientists, a person needs 8.2 seconds to fall in love with someone. Scientists explain that a look of 4 seconds is proof that a man is impressed and interested. But one interesting thing is that this rule doesn’t work for women. A similar look doesn’t mean anything for them. They can look at a man even longer without falling in love.British scientists decided to study it and invited more than one hundred students for an experiment. Then they hid cameras to observe the movements of students’ eyes. The students were asked to fill out a form.Eventually, they got the result that 8.2 seconds is more than enough for falling in love. Honestly, this experiment seems unserious. To actually collect the right statistics data needed, several thousand cases should be studied and analyzed. It seems that this question, as before, remains in the jurisdiction of (I think you mean: God) and the answer is impossible to predict in advance.0 votedApril 29, 20201
- ''it was an unfounded sanction ''''it was an unfounded sanction ''Does this sound natural?What could I say instead ?It depends what exactly you mean - "sanction" can mean permission to do something, but also means a punishment for doing something that was not allowed.If you mean the second definition, this is totally accurate, but a little awkward. A more natural sentence would be: "it was an unfounded punishment"0 votedApril 29, 20201
- "Élite"- mis pensamientos de la programma sobre Netflix Miraba la programa "Élite sobre Netflix," y estaba tan confundo lo que necesito terminarla. El género de la programma es complicado, un mezcla de una programma dramática para muchachos y una de la sistema legal. En una programa dramática, la pieza más importante es el red de los relaciones entre los personajes. Entonces, por qué no hay nada un motivo por los acciones de las personajes? En el episodio primero, una chica y su novio asistí una fiesta, y con conocimiento total entre los dos, ella fajó un otro alumno de sus colegió! Incluso el novio los miró- (con placer)?! Pués, pensé que ellos jugaban algún tipo de juego en sus relación, pero en la escena final, se parecío angustiado y la seguío fuera la casa. miró el episodio de nuevo (en ingles, en caso que no había comprendido el español), y todovía no lo comprende por qué.April 29, 202010
