I’d like to talk with someone native to the Algarve, or at least Portugal, I’ve been told by Brazilian friends that the Brazilian dialect is very different to that of the Portuguese and as I hope one day to live in the Algarve, it is important that I can easily. I have been a Pharmacist in the UK for 36 years, I can therefore support people with clinical, medical, and pharmaceutical technical English language as well as general conversational skills. The requirements of Pharmacists in the UK are different to those of many countries and the required communication skills for over-the-counter consultations are essential for someone wishing to work successfully in the UK. My 36 years of experience, my knowledge and skills will also be relevant and applicable to other medical & healthcare professions, and will be available through the Community Tutor role, if/when I am accepted. Learning is something I really enjoy, and I am eager to get started both teaching and learning. Some of the most satisfying parts of my career have been when I have helped others learn, either through leadership/process training or simple development of “How to” work sheets. I also spent 6 months on a special project interpreting data for a new Pharmacy Service which eventually won awards. I have also helped a number of overseas pharmacists with their English and professional language and indeed - cultural integration skills. Saying all the above, I still can’t count from 1-10 in Portuguese, so I’m hoping that while I learn to do that, I’ll also pick up some more useful tips to help others learn language. I look forward to meeting you Hazel

Homework is given in both morning and afternoon classes, so there is a lot to do. However, I need to secure a normal sleeping time today, but it's already at 7pm.
I had been writing today's events on my blog until now. But, my sister had been studying until a while ago, but she is tired and sleeping now. We are going to have dinner in the restaurant after this and besides that, we need to take a bath. So, the remaining time will be is short, Therefore, I will therefore have to work hard and have to need to finish my homework earlier soon.
Although, we could not stay in a room with a kitchen, we had heard that there is a shared kitchen at the hotel. So earlier*, we went up to the kitchen to check it. It was is on the 11th floor and connected to the rooftop. As there are tables and chairs on the rooftop, It seemed seems a good idea to have dinner there while watching the outside scenes. But that is will be on another day when we have enough time.
* some sort of time frame needed to be inserted, as otherwise this paragraph contradicts your earlier intention to eat in the restaurant.

Hi everyone,
Today, I'm going to talk about my family.
I'm Alessia and I'm 23. I live in Milan with my family which is made by consists of me, my mum and my sister.
I love spent to spend time with my family walking in the park, riding horses, watching Tv or talking about our future projects. I love walking with my dog, Milton; and he is very special for me because I adopted him during a bad time. So I love nature, dogs and any kind of animals.
I frequent attend University and hope to become a geophysicist and after graduation, then I hope to move in England where my fiancè already lives right now.
My mum is my best friend, we're very close and we do all things together. Maybe, It could may sound strange but she is my superhero because she grew me and raised my sister and I, up without the support of our father.
My sister is my little monkey, she is 12 and she's so different than me. She loves painting, creating and she has a lot of imagination (I have a mathematical mind). But like me, she has a passion for animals and nature too.
So this is my little but cute family. We are stronger day after day and nothing could sepate separate us.

Grim means negative and unhappy. In this statement he says he is grim about the mouth, so he is not smiling, not happy and has a negative outlook about his life.

I think you could use both terms, but possibly "torn between" indicates a more emotional concern about the decision.

Learning is a unstoppable process which starts from lasts from cradle and finish to grave - we learn continuously until we die.
But, we need a good environment for learning things perfectly. What we learn, how we learn it, everything depends on environment. I mean What is needed, is a good guider or friend. Italki has also has become one of the best ways to learn languages, which has helped to many to get become connected with people from different countries .
Hello Deepak,
Firstly, an interesting piece of work, which with one exception, I understood.
Where you say "i mean is a good guider or friend". I wasnt absolutely sure of your intended meaning, so I've guessed this bit!
Lastly, to make your writing more easily understood and presented properly, follow these rules:
All puntuation takes place after the last letter, therefore do not put a space before a coma or fullstop.
However, after every puntuation mark, you should then put a space, for example after a coma or full stop. I actually put two spaces after a full-stop, but there is some debate about whether it should be one or two space, so do whichever you feel is right.
All new sentences must start with a capital letter.

My favourite artist is Monet, a French painter, a (should be either: the founder of French Impressionism or one of the founders of french impressionism). I admire his paintings because they are vivid and full of life and colours. They give me the a sense of joy and (needs another word(s) here, maybe "appreciation of the" or "wonder at the") beauty of nature ( however i am guessing at your feelings here). I admire Monet's painting style, his brushstrokes are full of energy and passion. I feel the very quintessence of Impressionism when I look at his art. And his choice of colours always deeply moves my heart.
An excellent piece of work written with obvious passion for the painter. Forgive my lack of knowledge as to whether Monet was the founder of impressionism or not!

In the UK, there are four countries, each with strong accents and different ways of saying things. Then there are different areas of each country with very distinct and sometimes very heavy accents. So, for example, although I am a native English person, I really struggle to understand some people from the northern areas, even though, they too, speak my native language.
Within the UK there is also a high volume of people from overseas that have settled here and their capacity to speak English varies considerably.
The point of my comments above is that quite often the people you will communicate with in the UK, will have a varying grasp of the "King's English" (a funny expression as we have had a Queen on the throne for many years). However, quite often it is not the actual words you speak but how you say them and whether you are polite, that matters.
Understanding and being able to use "Please" and "Thank you" for example, are vital for effective communication here. However, I have learned through travelling abroad and by coaching overseas Pharmacists, that the use of these two expressions to the degree we use them can be quite alien to some cultures.
I would be happy to expand on this is you would like; please add a comment to that effect and I will do so.

Today, is my friend's birthday. We came to visited him with the presents at 8 p.m. There were many people inside his home, and I have known only 2 but I only knew two people persons.
We ate pizza and played in video games. My favorite game is "Adventure Island"- in my childhood, I named it "The Mario with the mustache", haha!
While some of the English words were not in the right order, I could easily understand what you were saying - Well done!

Dear Kristian,
You have had two corrections already, which cover most of the grammar, sentence structure errors. I thought it maybe useful for you to see how re-ordering the paragraphs may enhance this piece of work to tell the story, I think you are trying to tell:
When I was much younger, I used to watch cartoons, I don’t watch them now, but at that time, I was addicted to them.
This picture is showing that now, people are too focused on their TV’s, computers and electronic gadgets. They don’t see their surroundings, they don’t even notice changes in the world, like when the winter starts.
There will be a lot of new technological developments in our homes over the next thirty years. Robots will be launched, that will do everything for you. They will clean house for you or do breakfast.
In thirty years time, what will happen to us?
