Andere talen leren als Engelse Ik ben zo jaloers op mensen die andere talen sinds kindheid goed kunnen spreken. Ik voel me in dit verband in het nadeel omdat ik In Engeland opgegroeid ben. Het lesgeven van talen in dit land is heel slecht. Ik heb Frans zeven jaare lang op school gestudeert, maar op einde konde ik geen gesprek met een Franse mens hebben. Maar alle Nederlandse kinde lijken Bijna perfekt Engels te kunnen spreken. Ik weet dat het is gedeektelijk door omstandigheden, dat ze kijken bij voorbeld veel Engelse tv , maar zeker kunnen we toch wat van hun manier te lesgeven leren.

Advantages and disadvantages of the use of bikes in the city.
Nowadays in our societies the use of the bicycle to move around the city is very common. [this is correct but rather formal] Every type of people use this means of transport, since business people to children and students, it is a suitable option for everybody. [this sentence doesn't really make sense - see below]
Nowadays in our societies cycling is a very popular way of getting around in the city. All kinds of people use this means of transport, from business people to children and students, since anybody can ride a bike.
Also, it is true that the use of the bicycle has advantages and disadvantages.
First, It is cheaper than to have a car, and also is healthier because you can do exercise while you are going to your destination. [this would sound very formal] In addition, it is easier to park in the city center, and many times is faster even, <strike>most</strike> especially [you can't say 'most especially', because 'especially' is already superlative] at rush hour when big jams form. [form not forms is correct for plural, but see below for more idiomatic version].
It's true that cycling has both advantages and disadvantages. Firstly, it's cheaper than having a car, and also healthier, because you can exercise at the same time as getting to wherever you need to go. In addition, you can leave your bike anywhere, so you don't have to find somewhere to park the car in the city centre. Also, it's often quicker to cycle than drive, especially at rush hour when there are big traffic jams/when there is a lot of traffic.
On the other hand, there are also <strike>other</strike> [only use 'other' if you have already mentioned some disadvantages]disadvantages. For example, in summer when we have high temperatures is so tired moves [doesn't really make sense] with this vehicle [we don't really use vehicle to refer to a bicycle except in very formal language]2. Unfortunately, another enormous disadvantage is the security, the last days ['recently' is the correct way to say this] there have been a lot of accidents involving cyclists with fatal consequences.
On the other hand, there are also disadvantages. For example, when it is very hot in summer cycling is very tiring. Unfortunately, another big disadvantage is safety, as recently there have been a lot of fatal accidents involving cyclists.

In conclusion, the bicycle is a good option to move around the cities but we should exercise caution with this vehicle. [very formal]
In conclusion, cycling is a good way to get around the city, but we should take care when using this means of transport.

Introduction Ik ben een student uit Engeland. Ik heb mijn Bachelor in Klassieke Talen in Engeland gedaan, en volgende maand verhuis ik naar Leiden om een Masters op de universiteit te studeren. Daarom wil ik het Nederlands leren - ik sou het betreuren, als ik een jaar in Nederland woon en nooit leer het Nederlands te spreken. Ik weet al helemaal goed Duits, dus hoop ik dat ik het Nederlands niet te moielijk vinden zal. Op mijn vrije tijd hou ik erg van fietsen, en op dit moment train ik voor een honderd mijl rit. Ik speel ook klavier graag en mijn favoriete componisten te spelen zijn Bach, Chopin en Rachmaninoff.

My wife's coffee
My wife makes coffee every morning. She frequently asks me to mill coffee beans. There is a hand powered coffee grinder in my house. It takes a little time to complete milling (The milling takes a while.) However I don’t feel so long it doesn't feel like a long time to me, because I like the touch of stirring the grinder’s handle (I like the feel of turning the grinder's handle) and the sound that (the) milled beans make. After I hand (the) milled beans out (After I have given the milled beans) to my wife, she sets them on the paper filter and pours down hot water, of which (whose) temperature is controlled. After a while, she gives me (the) coffee. It always tastes good. Drinking coffee made by her is one of my pleasure times on my daily life (one of the pleasurable moments in my daily life).
This would be correct and very good. However, something like this would be even more idiomatic.

Drinking her coffee is one of the most enjoyable parts of my day.
