- How would you explain the meaning of 'cognitive dissonance' in Spanish? I'm learning Spanish and dabbling in explaining more difficult terminologies. I am wondering how you would explain the meaning of cognitive dissonance in Spanish to a Spanish speaker? This is in terms of human conflict/psychology.May 6, 201810
DailyTalki #6 and #7 - About ride a bicycle and public libraries
I just tweaked a few words, sentence structures and a couple of tenses.
I like to read. I read always (or you could say "I am always reading".) E-books, newspaper, articles on the internet, all of them.
In my city, there is a library with many books on different subjects. It's hard to choose which to read. I study Digital Marketing, so I frequently take out books on the subject.
But I'll read any how-to books, for example, Medical Science, Engineer, Advertising, Management, and the list goes on. Not to mention the wifi. Recently they added two computers to research, but nobody's used them. It is a little library, but it is a special place for me to study.
For to take a road or maybe you could say "To travel around I use my bicycle.
Even though it seems cool to ride, I don't like it, because it is very uncomfortable. I walk about 12, or13 km to get there.
Along the way I like to look at the landscape, the fauna and flora, and nature in general. I look at how the social system works and the people's behavior. Sometimes these people only want to live their life, without compulsory hours in a company or obeying meaningless orders.
Finally, the message I leave is: "You can search for your own happiness, but it depends only on you"0 votedApril 13, 20181Re-structured a few sentences to maybe let it be read a little more smoothly and changed a few words;
I'm watching the 2017 biographical drama, "The Darkest Hour" by director Joe Wright. The film casts academy award winner Gary Oldman as Churchill. Oldman portrays him like a naive child fused with a rampant lion. I admire bold decisions like these in acting and directing, however, I was surprised to see Churchill portrayed as such. My surprise was most likely due to the stereotypes regarding Western politicians we have in Russia. Additionally, there is the added surprise of the art itself, It never imitates life and it needn't.

In December 2017, when Ms (need a full stop for mr. mrs. ms.)May and the EU finally found an agreement about the first part of Brexit’s negotiations, many would think that would bode well for the future. Nevertheless, difficulties of both Ms May and the EU keep (changed some of the tenses to past tense)multiplying to reach mutual agreements on almost every detail of Brexit’s consequences.
First, the deal of December 2017 forecasts that the UK is due to pay about 50 billion to the EU to assume the charge it had promised to pay before Brexit happened. Secondly, Ms May announced that the European foreign workers in the UK could continue to live like before Brexit and must not worry. Last, the EU and the UK reaffirmed that it would not have a new material border between Ireland and Eire.
Nevertheless, that first agreement appears quite tinny and not very concrete. More worryingly, Ms May and Europe keep rejecting their mutual proposals and are little ready to make compromises. For instance, Ms May fiercely rejected the deal on 28th February proposed by Michel Barnier in charge of the Brexit’s question for Europe. His main measure suggested that the UK would stay in the European custom Union to solve the problem of the Irish border.
It has also not to be forgot that the negotiations will end in Mars 2019, date of the expected official separation between the UK and the UE. The delay seems to be very short for Ms May to negotiate a satisfying trade-deal for her country. Indeed, all European countries demonstrate an unexpected unity when it comes to negotiate the trade deal and defend strong and solid positions, refusing to grant to the UK any privilege.
Thus, if Ms May keeps saying she wants a “loud and clear” break with the UE after Brexit, the reality could go over her expectations, and puts the UK in danger owing to too hard and fast changes for the country.Corrected with some suggestions of alternate wording:
