To dwell on something does not necessarily have a negative connotation.

Since the industrial revolution, humans have come to rely heavily on technology.  

Overcoming climate changes, solving complex problems, and even creating more new technologies are all important tasks that we expect technology to perform for us.

With all that technology does for us, one cannot help but wonder if it adversely affects our ability to think?

My opinion is that rather than lessening our thinking abilities, technology enhances them greatly.

(This is only a model.  Obviously, your own way of speaking would make this paragraph sample more authentically yours.)

This quote is from a book review, and it's the last sentence of the review. For these two reasons it's more of summary of the previous sentences than a stand-alone statement. What the review is saying is that, yes, the character, Darius, is a complicated, sensitive, and intellectual person. He is an aesthete. And as a character he is realistically enough developed by the author that we can believe that such a person exists...he is believable. By saying he is consumed by status, the reviewer is saying that Darius places a huge importance on what people think of him. He cares mostly for money, admiration, and status. The gnawing power of the past refers to the painful memories of Emma, a woman from his past by whom he is obsessed. His erotic obsession with Emma is affecting his life in the present.

Here's a suggestion: Every week or so we have a paperwork class in our kindergarten. (What is a paperwork class?)

Facing phrasal verbs

The moment has come to for me to face English phrasal verbs.

I am tired about don’t of not understanding so many of them when seeing or hearing them.

I suppose I have avoided the issue for a long time, thinking that I would learn them in a natural way throughout the natural practice of English,

but that doesn’t didn't happen, and I now realize that I need to study them specifically if I really want dominate  master them.

Ok, so now, how shall I do it?

The method is the key, the method is always very important. If I do it in a boring and tedious way it will take me much longer than if I chose the right method. 

If you want to memorize better anything anything better you have to be constant persistent and practice it.

The brain remembers those things that it uses often, and forgets that he it doesn’t use a lot.

So, the best method would be to practice each days,

even just a few minutes is better than trying to study more once per week.

The brain likes fun and emotional things, so if I just repeat and repeat the meaning of each phrasal verb trying to take in the information like a robot it won´t be effective.

I need try to learn each verb with phrases, and never try to learn each verb alone, that’s bored boring and unnatural.

I need to read sentences with the phrasal verbs and then do it by myself, writing another phrases and examples.

Hope this partial correction helps.

As much emotional impact has the sentence that I am creating as example in order to learn the verb, the more effective it will be. As much relation has the example I am creating with me, my life, my world, or things I know or interest me, the more effective again it will be. An impersonal, common, and boring example is useless because the brain doesn’t put his attention on it. The brain attends what is new, uncommon, strange, impact or ridiculous. Then, another key is try to generalize the context where you are learning the verb as much as you can. If you learn a word by heart, and just use it in one context, or only in the context of the study, the brain doesn’t get the habit to use it fluidly in other different contexts. So, I need to read examples of phrasal verbs in different internet pages, watch different videos of them, write different phrases by myself on a notebook, use them when I am writing or talking in English for anything different about just studying, and do it trying don’t be scared about commit mistakes. The last key is motivation, and to know this is not as difficult. So, let´s see how much I can advance with these tips and if I am able to do it well.

Thanks for reading and for corrections.
