    Would it be better <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">growing up</s> for children to grow up in cities or in the countryside?

    Good morning <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">to </s>everyone!

    -------

    <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">The </s>Recent years have seen <s>the </s>a resurgence of the debate regarding dualism between cities and countryside, with a special attention <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">for</s> on the issue of where bringing up children could be considered better. This question, in particular, is often approached with an extreme, <s>too</s> ideological position, which does not favour<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"> a</s> rational reflection.

    The Circuit Breaker Tripped

    As the weather <s>i</s><s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">s getting</s> gets hotter, air conditioners have become essential in my home. Last weekend, two of my friends came to visit. Their son and daughter were having a lot of fun with my sons. <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">When</s> As the morning drew on, they started to feel sleepy and they all went to bed at around 12 o’clock.

    Our children all have a skin condition. Their daughter’s situation is the worst and my friends always set their air conditioner to 24 degrees at home to prevent her from scratching; otherwise she would scratch to the extent of digging her nails into the wound. At 2 PM, it was about 38 degrees outside and four of six air conditioners were running at full blast. Suddenly, the circuit breaker tripped. None of us knew how to reset it and our children were breaking into a sweat in their sleep. We decided to shoulder two 18kg and another two 10kg human beings, staggering all the way to the library. All of us were sweating as if it had just rained when we arrived. The library was the <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">roost</s> retreat / safe haven for us that afternoon until an electrician came to our rescue.

    I agree with what you've said. It's not just what we are taught as children at school, but how. The current methods of teaching are so unnatural and everybody learns in different ways. Some people are adept at sitting down and concentrating passively for long periods of time, some are more active learners and need to be up and moving constantly. Some people were born to be outdoors, some people thrive indoors.

    I personally believe that outdoors education is the way forwards, and would like to see schools incorporating outdoors education much more. Children are already spending less time outdoors than before, due to increased crime rates and lack of land. The benefits of outdoors learning are huge for both mental and physical wellbeing. Being outdoors engages students more, allows them more freedom and increases energy levels. I think (and hope) this is the way forward in the future.

    Which do you think is better? to have the same teacher for years or having new teachers each year?

    Having the same teacher for several years is important for those who learn a lot from the teacher's methods. <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">with the way of that teacher teaches</s><s>.</s> On the other hand, there are always students that do not like that teacher and therefore staying with the same teacher for several years would make them frustrated.<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">, for i</s> It is quite common for a pupil who does not like their <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">his</s> professor <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">do</s> to not learn anything. Personally, that is a difficult question for me because I'm used to liking <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">use to like</s> all teachers I've had <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">have</s>, at least those who teach well.
    However, in general, I believe that changing the teacher <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">each</s> every year is the best option for most<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"> of</s> people and for the teacher as well. Despite this, I get attached to a teacher I really like, and <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">to</s> I wish I could be her pupil for plenty of years, only one teacher would not teach<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">es</s> me <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">so</s> as much as five or six teachers would.
    Each teacher has their <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">his</s> personal life experience and when they bring this experience inside the class, the students can learn not only the subject taught but how to face life and to live as a good person.

    Please help ☹

    Are these sentences correct? Do these sentences have the same meaning?

    1. It would be nice if I could get out after lockdown on 4th May <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">lockdown</s>. But I think the date will <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">would</s> be extended.

    2. I wish I could get out after this lockdown on 4th May<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"> lockdown</s>. But I think the date will <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">would</s> be extended.

    <em style="color: rgb(0, 102, 204);">Note: You always use 'will' (future simple) with 'think'. Great English though :)</em>

    Do these sentence sound natural?

    Hey guys.. yesterday I was talking to some friends on discord to practice speaking skills and I decided to write down every sentence I said and I was in doubt if they would sound natural (I mean if a native speaker would express the idea like that). So here they are... and I'd like you guys to comment bel<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">l</s>ow on how you'd express these ideas.
    PS.: If I made any mistakes in this little intro, feel free to correct me as well haha

    =================================================================
    Yeah... I was playing (the guitar) while you were out (he had left to go to the bathroom)

    <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">The three people room is available right now </s>The three person room has just become available... we should move there (there were a room/server with 3 vacancies)

    Everyone was concerned about the possibility of it happening, while watching the movie, I mean ... but in the end the movie went <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">through</s> down another path and everyone kinda felt relieved. Because if that had happend I think they'd have simply screwed up the whole story.

    That was a heavy movie... I mean, with a very deep emotional load.

    Oh really... the movie was released this year?

    he is kinda in the middle. He is not the hero, but not the villan <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">as well </s>either

    Have u ever tried to say smth bad about doctor who for him to see what happens?? (haha he has a friend who only talks about dr. who... he <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">definetely</s> definitely loves it)

    They were <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">too</s> so bored.. so they were kinda<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);"> inventing </s>coming up with new stuff<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">s</s> to do. No matter what it was, they just wanted to <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">move out of borednesss</s> kick themselves out of boredom.

    They say it's kinda confusing watching this tv show, cause <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">it has so many timelines</s> it's set in so many different eras.

    hmm the first song <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">I've </s>I ever learnt.... I'm not sure if I even remember <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">even </s>what song it was haha --> he<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">'s</s> asked me if I still know how to play the first song I<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">'ve</s> ever learnt and I answered it above, but I'd like to know a way of answering it in order to pass the following idea: I can't even remember <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">even</s> which song was it, so the chances of still knowing how to play it would be even less<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">er.</s>

    Is that a <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">big</s> long tv show? I mean are there long episodes with many episodes by seasons.

    I couldn't understand you because your <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">voice was failing</s> sound kept breaking up (The audio was turning on and off quickliy)

    Is that song by Radiohead or not? (I wanted to know if that sound was made by this band)

    Whoa... so long! and <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">how was that</s> how come? I mean, you first went there <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">for </s>to work/study and ended up staying?

    A DAY WITH ONLINE LESSONS

    Today is March 25th, a time that I should have stayed in my college. Due to the coronavirus, I have no choice but <s>at home</s> to continue my studies at home.
    Studying on the internet has advantages as well as disadvantages. One advantage is that you won’t be shy in a way cause you can’t see anyone’s face. However, you are able to watch<s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">ing</s> the online classes? <s>board-cast</s> <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">upon</s> in your bed which may make you go <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">in</s>to sleep quickly....
    I had two lessons today, one in the morning was about my major, another in the afternoon, a german elective. I like to take German lessons, our German teacher’s English has a German accent, it’s unusual for me and funny. But that guy is a little lazy, he usually plays videos which he <s>had</s> looked for on a website rather than teach by himself. By the way, the process of the class is so slow....
    It’s midnight right now, I need to go to bed. AUF WIDERSEHEN!!!
