    Acostumbrados a la violencia (La película Tony Manero) La película Tony Manero, dirigida por Pablo Larraín, revela una vida en Argentina donde la violencia aparece que es una parte de la vida cotidiana. Los espectadores ven que los persona en la película crean o aguantan la violencia que quizás es tolerable socialmente debido a la dictadura de Pinochet. En la película muchas veces el protagonista, Raúl crea violencia para obtener lo que quiere. Él mató la mujer vieja para su televisión, el persona del cine para la carrete de película y el vendedor para los ladrillos de vidrio. Él no importa las vidas de estas personas y solamente quiere crear su visión de Tony Manero. También, su violencia contra estas personas se muestra como normal - Raúl no tiene emoción después de sus crímenes. Es como la violencia que él crea se normaliza porque la violencia frecuente de la sociedad de Pinochet. Quizá, las personas en la película, como Raúl, no piensan mucho de cometer un crimen porque es tolerable socialmente. Sin embargo, muchas personas son forzados a aguantar la violencia en sus vidas cotidianas. En el comienzo de la película, la mujer vieja es golpeado y robado pero ella no actúa que es inusual, tal vez esta es parte de la vida cotidiana y ella piensa que ella debe ser tolerable de la violencia. Adicionalmente, la película muestra un hombre que es asesinado porque tiene unos papeles contra Pinochet y esta escena también muestra violencia que aparece normal. Los espectadores solamente ven los policías secretos encuentran el hombre y después el tiro, no hay cualquier emoción o impacto con la violencia. La escena quiere presentar que el muerto de este hombre es normal y es tolerable en la vida cotidiana de la sociedad, porque están acostumbrados a violencia de Pinochet.

    La Primavera La primavera es mi estación favorita. Hay hojas en los arboles, flores en todas partes y el clima es mejor. Me encanta la primavera porque hay más colores afuera y él sol siempre está brillando. Yo estoy más feliz con esta estación. En el invierno, me sentí deprimida y me extrañé el sol. También, yo siempre tuve frío afuera y las plantas parecían muertos. Entonces, yo estoy muy agradecida por la primavera.

    Do you believe what art critics say?

    No, I don't not all of them, but I just refer it. When I was in university, I had many chances to read those reviews*. There are many ways to read those, such as collected works, exhibitions, and their internet blogs. Sometimes it's really helpful, because if you don't know about the meaning of artworks, critics' writings let you know. So I sometimes read those by myself, sometimes because of the assignments. In my experience, some critics' writings were useful but the others were useless. Because I couldn't understand**. Usually critics use really difficult words and they use many adjectives and that make sentences too theoretical. As a result, the sentences become unclear and I couldn't understand the topics. I hope critics will use easy words, so many people who don't even study art can understand the reviews. 

    * Throughout this paragraph you use the word "those" but I wasn't quite sure what you were referring to. I put the word "reviews" in the first "those" as I thought it would make more sense.

    **Not sure what you can not understand - please clarify. Maybe join the sentences together "I my experience, some critics' writings were useful, but others were useless because I couldn't understand their ideas" (or language? ) Or honestly, that sentence could be removed. Whatever you think is best! :)

    My school and my future...

    Hi Everyone! I'm an Italian engineering student and I'm undecided in which way to conclude my studies. First of all a clarification: In my school, the first year is identical for all students. Between the first and the second year, I'll need to make a choice. There are many courses and I'm not sure which is best for me and my future. I like "Biomedical Engineering" and "Mathematical engineering" both but  I cannot make a decision. Medical engineering is so attractive because I am always fascinated by medical instrumentations and prosthesis both. Mathematical engineering fascinates me because I think math is like a form of art and is incredible how it can be used for solving huge problems in an incredible number of cases. I'm sure on one thing, I'd like to work in Italy at the finish of my studies but at the moment I don't know if there's a reason for preferring one or the other. Maybe it's a bad idea to choose thinking about the jobs I'll find after but life isn't a fairytale and maybe it is the correct way to choose. I don't know and maybe I won't know until a day before the deadline.
    (: Thanks a lot to anyone who helps me! :)

    Note: choose is the present tense but chose is the past tense

    Ex: I want to choose my classes today. 

    Yesterday, I chose my classes.

    Practicing phrasal verbs - Are these sentences correct ? Thank you!

    Hello everybody. I am using phrasal verbs from different countries but I also would like to know how you say the same thing in your country with your own phrasal verbs.

    1. chat up

    2. creep round

    3. fit in

    4. join in

    5. lounge around

    1. My friend was trying to chat up a waitress in the bar. 

    2. She is always creeping around the boss and I hate it. ("creeping around" would be the colloquially phrase)

    3. I hope my little son fits in at his new school. 

    4. I am very shy and won't join in any sport activities.

    5. He will lounge around by the swimming pool when he will take holidays.

    These look great! Just a few minor errors

    I started a new job!

    PLEASE CORRECT MY DIARY AND TEACH ME USEFUL EXPRESSIONS!

    Last Monday, I started a new job related to internet technology. On the first day of work, I was about to die because I was so nervous. But my boss and colleagues are so kind and taught me everything that I need to know! I really appreciate them. But now I have a lot of work to do, so I have to put it away on the weekend as much as I can. That's too much trouble.

    *I'm not quite sure what "it" is referring to in the second to last sentence "... so I have to put it away on the weekend"

    Biography

    Could you correct my mistakes please?

    Graduated from Minsk State College, named after Glebov, and Saint Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design as a painter and a painter of monumental art. K.T realizes herself mostly through painting. Her art is based on her personal inner experiences and reflections about human nature, sense of life, personal path, and self development. She aims to convey inexpressible feelings, subtle emotions, hardly to explain by usual language.

    Her art is destined to make the viewer feel a shared experience. She explores the ways of interacting emotionally and metaphorically using symbolic, emotional language that helps to be comprehended* the more capacitively**.


    *The phrase "helps to be comprehended" is grammatically incorrect since a noun is missing. A noun should be in the place of the blank: "that helps _________ to be comprehended" 

    **The word "capacitively" relates to electrical reactions (the ratio of charge to potential on an electrically charged, isolated conductor) not sure if this is the word you meant to use, but it reads strangely in this context

    The content of their studies:

    ‎One of the reasons why I eventually left Jehovah's witnesses is because the content of their studies was often times extremely inappropriate and immoral.

    I tried to overlook this content but the organization was circulating those topics over and over.

    (By circulating, do you mean talking or discussing? The word circulating seems odd here) 

    When I spoke to them that those things are down right completely inappropriate, let alone being anything Christian like or spiritual, they insisted that Jehovah's witnesses organization knows better what is good for us to learn and study.
    They were aggressively angry at me and told me "Who are you to doubt and judge Jehovah's truth?''
    ---------
    Is this grammatically correct?

    Just a couple of grammatical things, but overall pretty grammatically correct!

    Tardiness

    To be honest, I am late most of the times unless it's a very important meeting or an appointment. This might sound strange, but, I believe being 30/40 minutes late to a wedding or an informal gathering is acceptable. I think arriving later than the time appointed is the way of Southeast Asians. However, in more formal situations such as business meetings or medical appointments, tardiness is intolerable*.

    *Intolerable is colloquially used for things that are unbearable or are extreme hardship. I think unacceptable would be a better word choice, but intolerable could work

    Introducing myself

    Hi everyone!
    My name is Leonardo, I'm from Jalisco México and I just joined this site because I want to learn English and other languages.

    My level in English is beginner.  When I read something in English I can understand about 80%, but when I try to speak or write in English it is very difficult for me because I can't find the right words.  

    Notes: 

    - everyone is one word and English is always capitalized

    - in the phrase "when I try to speak or write in English it is very difficult" -- the use of the word "it" would mean that trying to speak is difficult (so basically the phrase is: when I try to speak or write in English trying is very difficult) but using the word "it" makes everything more simple 

    - the phrase "to me" would mean expressing towards something ("for me" also sounds more colloquially correct) 

    - lastly, the phrase "I don't find the words to do it" is grammatically strange, "I can't" would be better to use here as it means "I am unable"

    Best of luck learning!!
