    In English "nervous" has a connotation of doubt along with fear. "He felt nervous he would not get the job," or "He was nervous about how he did on the English test." It can also have a connotation of fear along with excitement, such as "The child was nervous about riding the roller coaster for the first time," or "The man felt nervous as he got ready for his date." The example you use of violently hitting the table seem more out of frustration or anger or exasperation. "The questions that the child asked exasperated his parent," or "The woman let out an exasperated sigh when she realized how much she had left to do before she could leave work." The expression, "I have practiced just enough today" suggests that you did the very minimum amount of practice. Practice can be used as a verb: "I practiced this morning," or "I will practice this afternoon". So, you could say, "I practiced today," or "I practiced already" or "I finished my practice for today," or "I have finished practicing." To say that you have finished something, say just "I finished" plus the thing. "I finished my work on the project" or "The project is done". "I finished my chores" or "My chores are done." I hope these answers help.

    Quando usi "cosi`...come" e quando usi "tanto...quanto"? Ho letto in il mio libro di grammatica su il confronto di due cose simili, ma non è chiaro per me. È una regola per quando usi "cosi`...come" e quando usi "tanto...quanto"? È uno per i nomi e l'altro per gli aggettivi? Se sì, che è per i nomi? Mille grazie per le tue riposte.

    Usa "scorso" e "prossimo" solo per descrivere il tempo? La parola italiana "scorso" è come la parola inglese "last", e "prossimo" è come "next". In l'inglese può usare "last" o "next" per descrivere il tempo e anche altre cose. Per esempio, può dire o scrivere, "Posso aiutare la persona prossima"? In l'inglese questo tipo di frase è corretto, ma non so se vero in l'italiano.

    Full Time Job and a Part Time Course!

    Dear Mr. Smith,


    I am writing to ask whether it is possible to postpone my cooking course in the until next month or not. Unfortunately, I am very tired in this period at this time due to working, and the course is becoming more and more advanced too, so it is almost impossible for me to attend at the class with a good profit to profit from your course.

    At work we are delivering our goods in to every part of the world and the request of our I.T. items [I am not sure what you mean here. Does your company sell I.T. items? If so, revise it to "the requests for our products are" if you are talking about the number of orders or to "the demand for our products is" if you are talking about people's desire for your company's product.] is also increasing day after day, therefore at the end of my workday I am very tired. [This part of the sentence isn't necessary because you said you were tired in the first paragraph.]

    Furthermore, our your marvelous course needs more attention than usual in the last weeks. In particular, the topics are very difficult to understand, and the subjects takes [The verb "takes" can refer back to the noun "topics".] more time to be memorized as well.

    I would like to know if your chief department [Do you mean the person in charge of the department? Americans would probably say "department head" or "supervisor".] could would agree to move my timetable allow me to take lessons in the next month, when I would surely have time to take give the lessons my full attention. Moreover, my boss, who understood understands the situation, has already accepted agreed to give me some days off from work during that period then.

    I Thank you in advance, and I look forward to receiving your reply as soon as possible.

    Yours sincerely,
    Peter Parker


    This is very well written, Stefano. I hope my suggestions are helpful. If you have questions about them, ask in the comments or message me and I'll happily respond. Sincerely, Owen

    Alcune regole per il genere dei sostantivi Leggo un libro di grammatica italiana. Questo libro e` stato scritto in inglese. Ho provato scrivere alcune regole in italiano. Poi ho esaminato con un traduttore. Ho scritto correttamente? 1. Il sostantivo per l'albero è spesso maschile, e il sostantivo per la frutta è spesso femminile. 2. Se un sostantivo finisce in -à o -ù è femminile. Se un sostantivo finisce in qualsiasi altra lettera accentata (per esempio -è) è maschile. 3. Se un sostantivo singolare finisce in una lettera accentata, la forma plurale non cambia. 4. Se una parola è greca e finisce in -ema o -amma, è maschile. 5. Se una parola è greca e finisce in -si, è femminile e anche singolare. 6. Se una parola maschile finisce in -tore, la forma femminile finisce spessa in -trice. 7. Se una parola descrive una parte del corpo, spesso la forma singolare è maschile e la forma plurale è femminile. Mille grazie per aver letto questo testo e aver corretto.

    My presentation letter

    hello everyone! I'm writing a presentation letter for an appliance application for an European project. Would anyone be so kind to review it? Thank you in advance.

    Dear xxx,
    My name is Martina and I am an Italian girl of 26 years old. [Add a sentence here: I am interested in the project...] I attended have worked on many volunteer projects in different places and met many people from all around the world. My English is quite good but I would like to refine it for my future working professional life.


    In October I’m going to conclude my experience in Italian voluntary service in a hospital. My role is to help with indications [I am not sure what you mean by "indications". Do you mean "intakes", which is finding out why someone has come to the hospital?] and administrative assistance. I work mainly with elderly or foreigners. In this project I learnt have learned a lot about me myself. I found a very sensitive and empathic empathetic side of my character that I did not know before, and that I love doing something for everyone things for people.


    I am applying to this project because I am a university student and, although being quite near to my graduation, I would like to take a break from my studies, to leave Italy, change my habits, meet new people and make new experiences [In English, you "have new experiences" or you "make new memories"]. At the same time it would be wonderful to do something similar to what I have studied. I attended studied chemistry, mainly because I would like to work at some point of my life in some environmental monitoring association.


    I think to fit perfectly in I would be a perfect fit for this project as because I have already done some similar experiences work. and I could bring to the table something I have done in the past. [Could you be more specific here? What are some of these things that you could bring to the table? What specific skills do you have?] Also it would be perfect to share my studies and my passions, like explaining the importance of environmental sustainability, recycling and pollution.


    Regards,
    Martina


    Hello, Martina,

    You have a good grasp of English. Your sentences are very clear and I am able to follow the flow of your ideas. At the beginning you should add a sentence about what project you're applying for, something like "I am interested in the Administrative Assistant position advertised at Massachusetts General Hospital."

    This letter gives a lot about what the program could offer you -- take a break from your studies, change your habits, meet new people, and have new experiences -- but not as much about what skills and experiences you could offer them. Can you include some more details about the work you've done?

    I hope this is helpful.

    Sincerely,

    Owen Grey

    The first of the angels and the last of the devils

    He was just a poor devil, the last of the hell, in a crowd of lost souls. He was singing and shouting with all the energy of his tired heart, like he wanted to expiate atone for his sins, while an angel made of light approached to him to join the choir. She took his hands to invite him to dance. Was in In that moment, face to face, whatching looking into hers eyes, that he understood how much weak a man could be weak and also how lucky while when he has into his arms the most wonderful of all the angels in his arms.


    the last of the hell - I am not quite sure what you mean here. Do you mean that this devil is the only devil left in hell because the others have left? If yes, then "the last in hell" is how I would say it. Do you mean that this devil is not important or not impressive? If this one, then "the least of hell" is closer to what you mean but it doesn't sound natural. Maybe "the least important in hell" or 

    all the energy of his tired heart - I am not quite sure what you mean here. In English we might say something like, "all the energy he could muster from his tired heart" or "all the energy his tired heart could produce".

    Il mio introduzione Buongiorno, mi chiamo Owen Grey. Sono americano. Abito vicino di Boston in Massachusetts. Sono un professore della lingua e litteratura inglese della scuola superiore, e anche sono una poeta. Insegno me stesso l'italiano. Uso il metodo di Gabriel Wyner. Ha scritto un libro intitolata in inglese "Fluent Forever" e in italiano "Come imparare qualsiasi lingua: Il metodo smart". Lo sa? Ho cominciato per usare questo metodo in giugno, però non è la prima volta ho studiato l'italiano. Per due estate quando sono stato uno studente in università sono stato in Italia per imparare la lingua. La prima volta sono stato in Firenze e la seconda volta sono stato in Roma. Ho domenticato molto, però ritorna rapidamente. Ho cominciato per studiare ancora perchè voglio ritornare a università per studiare come scrivere la poesia. Ho guardato tre università e per ognuna è necessità per conscere come leggere un'altra lingua. Un'altra ragione è perchè voglio ritornare in Italia in futuro. Ho viaggiato in Italia tre tempi e voglio andare ancora. Mille grazie per ha letto questo.

    The first three sentences are good. I would change the fourth sentence to "We are not running a day care here." The expression "day nursery" doesn't sound right in American English. I would change the fifth sentence to, "Wouldn't you expect someone like me to do such a thing?" if the person were surprised about you doing (or planning to do) the thing, or "Didn't you expect me someone like me to do such a thing?" if the person expressed annoyance or aggravation that you did the thing.
