I am a primary school teacher in Dublin. I am currently teaching English to newly arrived immigrant children aged between 7 and 13 tears old. I have been studying French on and off for a few years now and would like to make a more serious effort to raise my standard over the next couple of years. I began learning Spanish two years ago and am hoping to take a class in Italian here in Dublin in September 09.

    The Spring ( in the title the article the is optional - you could just call the piece Spring)

    We have It is April and in my counntry but it isn't still isn't very warm.

    In English we use the verb to be rather than to have much more often than in other languages. Other examples of this type of error are -

    I have 27 years. This should be -  I am 27 years old.

    Fortunately we have the calendars tells us that spring arrived since on the 21st of March.

    The trees arent still aren't green but we no longer have temperature belo minuses degrees ;o). The sun shines and the warm wind blows. You can see the first flowers in the allotments in front of the hauses houses. Those The flowers are white snowdrops and violet, oranges and yellow crocuses. I'm looking forward so much for to the green leaves and bloomying trees ;o). My mood will be very good when I will walk between in so such wonderful fresh nature countryside;o) Ow and we are I am looking forward to the arrival of the first white stork ;o) and we hope to hearing the  staggering singing of the lark ;o)

    I know there are a lot of corrections here but , as I said in my comment, take what you want and leave what you don't.

    Gerry :-)

    Transformer 3

    I watched <em>Transformer 3</em> two days ago. I think that movie is just ok average. It is was not as good as I had expected. I guess think that the director is trying to tell a story, but maybe because my english is not that good I am not interested at all in this. What I want is to see fightings between is the robots fighting. I don't even know the name of robots. This is not important however as I only want to see them fighting. If I cared about  the story of one the movie, I would choose another a different one. All I want to see are the fantastic picture effects and feel enjoy the high technology introduced in such a movie.

    To be honest the leading actress sucks has little to offer. she has got nothing except a sexy body.

    I hope this helps.

    Gerry :-)

    iI really don't like doing actual corrections - I prefer to just encourage people to keep trying to write - but if it helps here are a couple of suggested corrections.

    Everyone can fly.

    Everyone can fly.

    As long as you are willing to work hard waving their wings.

    Two possibilities here:
    As long as you are willing to work hard waving* your wings

    As long as they are willing to work hard waving* their wings

    *flapping is possibly better verb to use rather than waving


    When you fly to in or even better through the sky the wind will blow, branches cheers for you on and the sun through the clouds to illuminates the road ahead for of you.

    Just some suggestions, no more than that.

    Cheers

    Gerry
