My Concern

My concern about studying English is whether I have improved my skills.

I have stayed  in Australia for around ten months to study English. However, I don’t feel satisfied because I think my English skills are not good enough to speak to someone even if we have a simple conversation like just greetings.

Before I came here, I already knew that it was not easy to learn English. However, it is much harder than I expected.

If I want to speak English fluently, I have to try more, but I have no idea when I can reach my goal.

What's your opinion of marriage?

When I saw this topic I felt so pressured. A girl needs to marry when she is young in our culture - from around my age to thirty years old . I have been in a lot of fights with my parents on this topic. When I graduated from university I had no idea about what kind of job I needed (wanted?) do. I am (was?) confused with life. Most of my friends got married after graduation. They always complained about their marriage. Suddenly, I feel so scared of getting married. In my spare time I would like to go and watch movies alone. I don't want to spend time on dating a guy. When I discussed the reason why my idea is so different, I realized that it's too difficult if you want to find the right person. It seems like everyone is busy with work. No one cares if you are happy or not . I insist on being single in my life.

Notes:

Hello! Be careful with tenses - past simple, present simple, present perfect etc. I wasn't sure about which time period you were speaking about in some of your sentences. Also, you should revise prepositions - from, for, to, with, on etc. If you want, I can give you lessons on these subjects. 

Good work, keep it up! 

About me

Hello, my name is Nicolas and I'm from Argentina. I'm a new student on Italki and I hope to learn English. I am 36 years old and I am an  engineer.
What can you tell me about Italki? Is it a good place to learn another language?

Regards!
Thank you!

Letter to Santa Claus

Dear Santa Claus, I really want it to snow a lot on Christmas Eve. I want all the lights on the Christmas tree to shine brightly, for my mother and father to be happy, my brothers and sisters to come to agreement and... I also wish to see the real Christmas magic.
