Russel ist ein super motivierter und auch ein sehr tiefgründiger Schüler. Es ist kein Wunder, denn sein Deutsch ist auf einem sehr guten Niveau. Jedesmal gehen wir tiefer in die Sprache. Wir nehmen regelrecht Wörter auseinander! Es hat wie immer Spaß gemacht. Bis bald! Danke.

    A fun exercise! I think they are all grammatically correct and I'm a native speaker. Certainly I would easily understand what was meant. Some seem awkward and might need a specific context. (5) Could be written "She revised the poem in two weeks." "for" emphasizes that she worked steadily or exclusively on the poem. (6) could also be written "She spent two weeks revising the poem." (11) seems a little on the edge. Not sure how I'd change it. Perhaps "Two weeks were taken by her to revise the poem."

    Depending on who I'm reading to, I may pronounce it "that is". As someone else has pointed out, not many english speakers know what "i.e." (or e.g.) stand for.

    Ein kindischer, entmutigter Schrei Kürzlich bin ich mutlos und ich denke dass ich mich Deutsch aufgeben muss. Es ist klar dass die Deutsche Sprache macht Spaß, aber sie ist auch sehr schwierig für mich. Ich höre meines Gesprach zu und ich höre dass meine Grammatik zufällig ist, meine Wortstellung komisch ist und die einfachste Wörter vergesse ich. Zwar kann ich ein Artikel von einem Zeitschrifft lesen oder ein Video angucken aber eine flüssige Unterhaltung scheint unmöglich aus. Ich lese und ich frage mich warum der Autor "Überlassen Sie das mir" anstatt "Lassen Sie das mir". Ich bin sogar nicht sicher wenn es wichtig ist! [schwerer Seufzer]. Vielleicht werde ich morgen glücklicher sein.

    Bridget Jones's Diary (part 1). Please correct my writing)))

    Bridget Jones's Diary (part 2). Please correct my writing)))

    The first day of New Year had been abominable. Bridget took the wrong road on the way to the Alconburys' so she got lost and arrived very late. Geoffrey Alconbury met Bridget wondering about her love—life, he asked Bridget if she was still without  hadn't got a boyfriend. Then Geoffrey added that if Bridget didn't hurry up and got get married soon, she would be too old to have children.
    Next Una Alconbury offered Bridget to introduce meet Bridget to Mark Darcy. Una said that he was rich and divorced.
    Mark was standing with his back to them. He was tall and was looking at the books on the bookshelves. When Mark turned around, Bridget saw that he was wearing a jumper with a pattern of yellow and blue diamonds on the front. It was awful.
    For a moment neither of them spoke. And  Some minute later Bridget started talking very quickly and couldn't stop. Mark Darcy was looking at her with a look of horror on his face. He told Bridget that maybe she should get something to eat and he went away immediately.
    Everyone was staring at Bridget and she knew they were thinking that's why she wasn't married, she talked too much and was very unattractive to men.

    Essay #394 "School Education" 15.02.19

    Education is one of the most crucial parts of people’s lives and that is why many parents believe that it should could be improved in order to ensure the future lives of their children. Despite the fact that in many cases this is true and our education system is not perfect, many people think that a the stronger inclination towards practical skills would be highly beneficial for pupils. In my opinion, this is faulty thinking a faulty thought and this would only have a negative effect on their academic knowledge.

    The main purpose of school education is not to prepare professionally skilled workers, but to provide children with the basis for further education. People need to just should understand that in many cases school is the first step in a long term education and that is why this education should be as broad as possible. Only by creating the basis with a foundation of academic knowledge will it be possible for children to succeed in their further education.

    Another point is that teaching children about home managements and other things is the responsibility of their parents. They should not shift all the responsibility of the education of their children to on schools and heavily participate in this, especially at first steps. That is why when parents believe that their children are lacking some kind of education or skills they should solve this issue by themselves.

    Finally, by concentrating on these skills children would have fewer less opportunities in their future lives as this would provide them with more narrow job choices. In most cases practical skills are more important for professions with lower salaries. ,Wwhereas academic education would allow children to get much better jobs with more opportunities to grow and develop.

    To conclude, in spite of the fact that every parent wants their children to succeed, sometimes they can be mistaken come to a quite faulty thought about how this can be achieved. The prevalence of Prioritizing practical skill over academic knowledge is one such mistake of them. Parents should understand that the main goal of school education is to provide children with the basis for further development and education, rather than creating professional workers.

    Addict, could someone check ?

    I think it is a noun and it can describe a person who is addicted to something.
    Addicted people usually don’t see a problem. If we see that somebody seems to be addicted to something we should tell this person that the/that particular activity or habit is not good for their health or influences their lives lifes. Then this person might then agree or disagree. We can keep informing them about side effects but the most important thing is for the person who is addicted to realize by the person who is addicted that there is a problem. After somebody has decided to stop doing something but can not overcome it then he or she should go to doctor and start therapy. Sometimes pills or hospitalization is needed.


    [Yes, Addict is a noun that denotes someone who is addicted to something.  Well done!]
