- 1) The hallway in his apartment wasn't that big, so we crowded there to say how glad we were to meet such a great artist in our community. [Also: "so we crowded in there".]2) He always has a new gimmick for his online business and it seems that <s>the</s> his stock of them is inexhaustible.3) What would you do to set people free in Belarus? Is there any good solution for that tough situation they live in?4) She came right at the moment as we were leaving the house.

TOPIC OF MY STUDY IN AGRICULTURE FACULTY IS ANOTHER CULTURE IN SPRING WHEAT
Wheat is the greatest crop in world. It has a big importance for people's food and animal feed.
It grows in all conditions and in every country. Wheat production in the world increases annually, however we need more production to match the increase in world demand. so we need more work to replenish the world demand.0 votedApril 26, 20190Driving
Some research smashed a cliché that men are better drivers than women. The cliché is that women can't park a car properly. A surveillance of a big car park has revealed that while the women took more time to get into a space they did it more skillfully. On the other hand, the men did it more quickly and tended to have more accidents. In general, the women use a car to go from A to B and they don't value the driving like the men do. The latter wants to show that they can drive fast and better than anyone else.[Articles in English (the and a/an) are difficult to get right for English learners. For groups in general we don't use "the". However, if we indicate a specific subset of the group then we use "the", as in: The average man. When you wrote "the men did it" and "the women took more time" the "the" is appropriate because you are talking about a specific group of men and women, the ones who were in the study. See?]

The additive system is based on red, green, and blue - RGB for short. Furthermore, the subtractive system is based on cyan, magenta, and yellow, plus black. It is called CMYK.
The additive colours works with everything that emits light. Coloured light adds together and for this reason this system is additive. The more light you add, the brighter and lighter the colour becomes. Consequently, white is the complete combination of the three colours, whereas black is the absence of light. If we turn off the light, we get darkness.
On the other hand, the subtractive colour system is produced when we paint or print a surface with ink. It is called subtractive because we subtract the colour of the base, which is usually white due to paper. However, in subtractive colour, white is the absence of colour, while black is the combination of all colours, but it’s an imperfect system. Why?
The ‘K’ in CMYK stands for ‘key’, nor for black, which is the fourth colour. Black is used because the combination of the three primary colours doesn’t produce a fully saturated black.
When you choose one or another colour model you should be guided by the final product. Use RGB for projects that the audience will view only on a screen, while you should use CMYK for print, brochures, posters, magazines, books, newspapers, etc.0 votedApril 26, 20191Should We Be Saddened by the Notre-Dame Fire? [In titles always capitalize the first, last, and all important words. Here is a website that will properly capitalize a title you paste in: 'https://capitalizemytitle.com'.]
Sadness, as all feelings, cannot be controlled, either are we sad or we aren’t. There is no room in between where we have the opportunity of choosing whether it is approximate or not to feel in such a way.* It is because of this fact it isn’t fair to open a debate about how people should be sad or not. People feel attached to historical patrimony because it reminds them of the legacy they have inherited from the ones who were here before them. Moreover, their reaction to a particular event tells a lot about their identity, because we react with depth with something to which we feel close to. People from all over the world have shared their support and their concerns about the cathedral in the name of common humanity but also as a sign of empathy toward the French people whose cultural patrimony were put at risk. In this same regard, Christians felt hurt because Notre-Dame is a symbol of their religion and their community. We shouldn’t blame people for being indifferent to this fire, even though I deplore it. This indifference should make us question ourselves about if we share an equal concern toward the calamities of others. Do we manifest empathy, love and compassion toward all the suffering of the world equally? Probably not. The indifference some have shown should spark our empathy to all living beings so we cannot be judged in return for such a lack of compassion.[* To me this sentence contains too many ideas, so I divided it up to make it clearer.]

Firstly, It’s really hard to stick to your diet plan as it requires determination and passion. Most of the people who tried a diet plan quit after a few weeks. Due to a/our hectic busy life we are all suffering when we eat* junk food. We don’t have the patience or the time to prepare our own meals. It’s a sad story, isn’t it?
Recent studies have proven that a person who eats healthy lives longer** than others. At the same time they feel more active and mentally focused. Media should be part of the solution and raise the awareness about the importance of eating healthy. Government needs to participate as well by generating campaigns for a health check up.
Everyone should have a training plan of at least 30 minutes a day. Unfortunately some people can’t afford*** to go to the gym or have a personal trainer, however a lot of YouTube videos indicate people who were able to be in a good physical shape only by training at home, therefore there is no excuse.
One of my brothers has this passion to become a fitness model so not only has he stopped ordering any kind of food but learned to cook his own dishes.
In conclusion we all need to exercise and eat healthy to have a better and happy life.[* Or: "suffering by eating junk food".
** The phrase "lives more than others" is a little awkward. A better phrase is "lives a more healthy, fulfilling life than others."
*** If you actually meant to use the word "effort" the phrase would be: "some people can't make the effort to".
Remember to not have a space before the ending period of a sentence.]

I am a forensic photographer. My work is very important, because a well-documented crime scene can be the main evidence in a court.
I usually work 5 days a week, but I have to be on call 7 days a week. I get information about an incident which I need to cover from Police Communication centre*. At the crime scene I communicate with the officer-in-charge. My mission is to aid investigators by taking detailed photos of a/the crime scene in general and every individual detail.**
In my work I use different methods (illuminating the scene with flash) and equipment (different lenses) to do photos where every detail must be clearly visible.
This job matches my personality because I am a responsible and pedantic person and I am able to work with different equipment in chaotic, challenging, and emotionally distressing situations.[* If the word "centre" is part of the official name then it should be capitalized. Otherwise, you need to write "from the Police Communication centre."
** You have already said the photos are in detail so the last part of this sentence is redundant. You could end the sentence with alternative phrasing, for example, "... and all possible information must be recorded." ]

Hi everybody, Today I'm gonna be talking about my first experience with tinder. Well, those who don't know what tinder is... basically it is one of the dating apps which is kind of popular among lonely and single people out there. A couple months ago, my friend introduced me that app since he knew I love travelling a lot. He told me that I could probably meet and make new friends while travelling. So when I was in Thailand I got some Tinder matches but there was only one girl who caught my attention. Her name is Abby. Abby is 20 years old and she loves making new friends. So do I. I've seen some of her pictures and she looks so freaking hot. I found her sexually attractive to be honest. Haha. We continued talking on tinder for a week and then I decided to get her number. Surprisingly, she gave me her number right away even though I didn't expect she would give it to me because you know... she just knew me on internet. I had a lot of fun talking to her, she was funny but she never answered my video call... not even with sending me an audio message until one day I invited her to meet up and she said yes. So we decided to meet up at a restaurant and I was kinda nervous but excited at the same time because it was be my first Tinder date. As I arrived at the restaurant, she hadn't arrived yet, so I waited for her for almost one hour and then suddenly someone from behind covered my eyes with hands.
"Guess who?" She whispered in my ear.
I smiled and said "Abby?"
"Yeah you got it"
And then as I turned around, I was shocked.. "Wait.. are you Abby?"
"Yes I am. Your babe from tinder"
And then she hugged me. I was speechless and confused because she doesn't really look the same girl I was talking to on tinder. She's totally different. She looks a bit chubby and her eyebrows look so weird. I didn't wanna make her feel bad or try to be mean, so I stayed and we took our seats.
"Nice to meet you Abby"
"Nice to meet you too. Why dont you call me babe like you called me on tinder" she asked.
"Oh yeah babe" – kinda awkward.
I didn't feel happy with that meet up. She talked too much and sat too close to me. Sometimes she leaned her head on my shoulder. That made me feel uncomfortable because her breath didn't really smell good. I wonder... did she forget to brush her teeth in the morning? "It smells like a dead rat," I thought. Hmm, I couldn't stand to be her around anymore though, so I got up and said
"I am sorry I have to go now, I don't feel so well today."
I paid the bill and walked away for good.0 votedMarch 24, 20190
