고마워요, 토마스! It's exciting to have a student who has an enthusiastic attitude to know a new thing in Korean. 열심히 하는 태도를 가지고 있는 학생이여서 신나게 수업하게 되서 기뻐요. Thanks again for that!. If you don't mind that I give you any advice, I hope you feel ok to make mistakes when speaking Korean. But focus on expanding more vocabularies. Hope to see you soon!

    Could someone correct my short essay please?

    Modern technology plays a huge role in our everyday lives. For many of us, it is hard to imagine a day without computers, smartphones, Internet and other contemporary amenities. In this essay, I will present advantages as well as disadvantages of technological development.

    The main reason why modern technology has a positive impact is that it simply facilitates our lives. Thanks to the Internet, we have created swift communication. Computers and other advanced machines have decreased the amount of workload, and the automotive industry has increased mobility. Technology assists us in almost everything.

    On the other hand, technological development stands in opposition with nature. It is not uncommon for its production to pollute the environment, destroy natural habitat, and exploit people. Thus, it gradually separates mankind from nature.

    All things considered, manufacturers should strive to find a happy medium as we aim to improve our lives, but not at the expense of our planet Earth.


    ***

    Nice job Michal! Three comments:

    - Be careful for your third person singular to add the -s on those verbs. 

    - We don't need the indefinite article 'a' for general concepts, such as 'swift communication'

    - For your final sentence,  I had to add the word 'not' (at the expense of our planet Earth), because it is your final opinion and belief (using the word 'should'). In other words, you combined two sentences 1. Manufacturers should strive to find a happy medium 2. It should not be at the expense of the environment.  

    Keep it up!

    Ayoub,

    I have a few questions and suggestions for you:

    Questions:

    1. Where are you studying? Are you in a university with mostly English speakers, or many languages?

    2. Is there writing support offered at your school?

    Suggestions:

    1. If your professor has experience working with English language learners, then it is good to talk with him or her about expectations. If you need perfect written English, then you definitely will need a few bilingual people to help you make corrections.

    2. I suggest trying to find several other theses written by non-native English speakers, to see how they are.

    3. Finally, organization and logical flow is very important for the thesis. You should work hard to make good connections between every section and paragraph of your thesis.  So, I do suggest taking time to analyze and reflect about organization in other papers and theses.

    4. Academic writing styles can be somewhat different between different cultures. That is why I am curious where you are located.

    5. I also just finished my thesis. It's a lot of work!  Be sure to make a schedule, and try to keep your schedule so that you can complete everything on time!

    I don't yet know any good books to help English Academic Writing. Maybe someone else can make some recommendation?

    Good luck!

    The things that I do in the morning

    I usually get up before 7 o'clock, mainly especially if it's sunny. So I go to the bathroom to brush my teeth and then I eat my breakfast. At 8 o'clock I go to the gym and when I come back I have a shower. Then, I wear put on clean clothes and I go to college (1). I don't have a car and I don't like to take the bus (2), so I go to college by bike. After getting there I read a little in the library until the lunch's times (3). After lunch I go to class.


    Nice writing! 

    (1) No need to repeat the subject 'I' in this sentence. Also, 'put on' is the action of changing into new clothes, but using 'wear' here can be an all-day general description.

    (2) When we use 'like' + a verb, we should use the infinitive: to take, to wear, etc. For example: "I like to wear tennis shoes' and 'I don't like to drive a car'. You could also use an -ing verb, e.g. "I like wearing tennis shoes' or "I don't like taking the bus"

    (3) 'lunch time' is singular. No need to say 'times.' In fact, breakfast, lunch, and dinner almost never use an article 'the' 'an' or 'a.' We just say "When is lunch?" "I love breakfast" "When is dinner time?"

    Good luck!
