I have wanted to speak and understand Spanish for a long time for no particular reason other than as a life goal to be bilingual. I enjoy hanging out with my family, outdoor activities like running, biking, hiking, fishing, hanging at the beach.

    My D<s>d</s>aily E<s>e</s>nglish 10-29-2019 (In the US we typically capitalize all words in the title with the exception of the, of, and a few others)

    Today is very <s>could</s> cold. Autumn <s>have</s>has come to Asturias.
    I woke up at 8 am but I didn't get up until 8:30 am (In the US we would probably say: I didn't get out of bed until 8:30 am). I had an (if the word following a starts with a vowel, we use an) English class at 9 am. At <s>the</s> first <s>W</s>we were with the teacher but only for the first 15 minutes.
    <s>Teacher at the drop of a hat loss her connection</s> At the drop of a hat, the teacher lost her connection. We <s>have run out of</s> had lost our leader. Luckily, one student with the soul of a captain, <s>it</s> managed the class.

    Now, I will make the most of day to exercise (I'm not sure what you mean to say ---- I think it is: Now I will make the most of the day by exercising) . In the afternoon I <s>would</s> want to study a little and then I would like to hang out <s>hanging</s> out with some friends. (This is kind of tricky but "would want" isn't correct in this usage, it should just be want. )
    They speak English so I think I will be able to practice my <s>e</s>English (we always capitalize language names) a little bit more.

    Jogging is healthy, don't you think so?

    Hello everybody, this time I'm practicing the word "jogging", so<s>,</s> I'll try to make 5 sentences where I use it, the first sentence will <s>be actually</s> actually be a paragraph. I'm very excited to see how many mistakes<s> would I do</s> I make(in the last 4 words, I'm sure there is one! But I don't know yet how to express what I wanted to express correctly (But I don't... This sentence is technically correct but sounds odd, I would say: "I still don't know how to express this idea correctly in English").
    Let's begin:

    - Today I was playing a game around 6 PM, when my girlfriend got motivated<s> to go and practice some exercise</s> to excercise, specifically she wanted to run<s> "running"</s>, she asked me to go with her <s>together</s>! And she was able to <s>motivate</s> convince me, so <s>after all</s> we ended up trying to run from 6 PM to 7.30 PM. And I say trying, because it was the first time we did <s>some</s> any exercise since <s>around</s> about 2 years ago. So I guess jogging is a better word to describe what we did today! What do you think? Is it? I guess we'll jog every day for at least 2 weeks until we <s>really</s> are ready to <s>start to</s> run consistently. When did you jog for the last time? It <s>will</s> would be very nice to know it!

    - My girlfriend and I were jogging after we notice there was a chance of raining. (not sure what idea you are trying to express -- See below for 3 options, first is that the jog is complete and in the past, the second is the jog is in progress, the third assumes you have not yet started to jog)
    My girlfriend and I went jogging after we noticed there was a chance of rain.
    My girlfriend and I are jogging because we noticed there was a chance of rain later.
    My girlfriend and I are going to jog now because we noticed there is a chance of rain later.

    - I remember when the Sports Teacher of high school putted us too run, most of the time I was just jogging I guess.
    I remember when the physical education teach from high school had us run that most of the time I was only jogging.
    - I'm asking myself is jogging is good to relieve stress.
    I wonder if jogging is a good way to relieve stress

    - Is it possible to jog inside of supermarkets? (Possible --- do you mean "allowed to happen" or physically possible? - I assumed allowed to happen)

    Are you allowed to jog inside of supermarkets?

    Can you help me? There a lot of ways to learn languages.

    If you want to improve your fluency, there a lot of ways to increase it. When we get to know a language we will start to become more confident. Most people think that to become fluent one needs to constantly study in school with a teacher. If you want to learn the language by yourself, it would be a good idea to have many friends from other countries in order to be able to communicate in the language that you are wishing to speak. The beginning stage could be complicated at first, you only need to write your advance on a notebook and there are fun ways to improve your skills. Another idea is reading stories in your native language and, then trying to read the same book in the language you are learning. The most important thing is focusing on the four language abilities which are speaking, listening, writing and reading. There is a good website called ted where you can listen to native speakers speaking about different interesting topics. Also the Italki website and Hi native are the best options for writing. If you can afford to hire a private teacher,<s> let me tell you</s> (Let me tell you is something used in speaking, but not often in writing)In my opinion Italki is the best option because it has many professional teachers to help you<s> in your progress</s>progress in your learning. Italki has another helpful tool to help improve your writing and the most impressive thing about Italki is that it is free.

    Letter to the accommodation officer

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am writing to complain about the situation which I have been living with my roommate and request a different type of accommodation in the student residence. (You adequately got your meaning across, but this sentence sounds a little odd and is kind of a "run on". I would suggest: I am writing to complain about my current living situation and to request a different accommodation in the student residence. ---- You are complaining about your roommate in the following paragraph, so it isn't necessary in this sentence. )
    My main problem is that since January my roommate has developed a habit of holding parties, to which he has invariably invited many guests, disturbing me until late in the night. I have tried to reason with him, but to no avail. As a result, I have been suffering from sleep deprivation and fatigue. This condition has adversely affected my ability to concentrate on my studies; some of my teachers have noted this. (I would say: This condition has adversely affected my studies as noted by several of my teachers)
    Therefore, I would be grateful if next year I could book a single room, which I would not need to share with somebody else. If you do not supply the stated kind of room, I will have no choice but to move to another student residence. (My paragraph would be: Next year I would like to book a single person dorm room. If my request can not be met I will request to move to another student residence).

    I am looking forward to your response.

    Yours faithfully,

    Mr Carles Rodríguez

    Methods to Increase Science Students (In the US we typically capitalize the first word of the title, and all remaining words in the title except for prepositions)

    The most recent statistics have proven (proven is a strong word from a statistical study, a better word might be demonstrated) that youngsters are not sufficiently encouraged to study science. Furthermore, they tend to despise subjects related to health and maths (I think in the UK it is maths, but in the US it is math). In this essay, a variety of ideas will be broached to address the topic at hand. (This sentence is correct and the meaning is clear -- however "topic at hand" is an informal saying and in my opinion should not be used in a formal essay, if this were a school essay I would just say topic, speaking to friends or if I am trying to be very verbose I might say topic at hand; broached -- in the US to "broach" a subject usually implies the the subject to be discussed is sensitive or taboo. Another way to say this might be: In this essay a variety of ideas will be proposed to address the issue.)

    There can be no doubt that our youth receive a high influence from tv shows, social media, etc.( There is no doubt that our youth are highly influenced by tv shows, social media, etc. -- would be a more clear sentence in my opinion --- I don't often read or hear the phrase "receive a high influence", but again your point gets across and it is technically correct) The truth of the matter is that the current media does not broadcast enough information about scientific celebrities and their discoveries. However, adverts could vary their content in a way that attracts youngsters’ attention. (The last sentence was fine, but you started discussing the ways that adverts could change without first proposing the use of adverts to encourage students to pursue education in STEM Fields) For instance, advertising advantages of pursuing a career in science could be a feasible idea for students to reflect about it. (not exactly sure of your point with this sentence, but I believe you mean: For instance, advertising the advantages of pursuing a career in science could encourage students to give more consideration to studying STEM fields. )

    No one would dispute the fact that youngsters require different incentives when they do not relish a particular matter. Not only do young adults need encouragement to study science, but they also require to be shown all the upsides of it. Therefore, schools could help students develop an interest in STEM, for instance, by including science programmes from which students could see the appealing side of science, such as singing, dancing, working in teams and so on.

    To conclude, <s>each way</s> all of the proposed ideas could satisfactorily succeed in encouraging young people to study science. However, adverts about science might not properly convey the message they intend, hence they would <s>have to be created meticulously</s> need to be meticulously created in order to reach the young public.<s> Nonetheless (</s>Not really the correct use of nonetheless), A<s>a</s> more workable idea may be the implementation of school programmes that mix fun and science in the same classroom.

    A Bbook (In the US we capitalize The first and Last words of a title, and then any word in the title that is not a preposition)

    Long ago, I read a book about two children who lived during a war. They explained told how their childhood was, and, to tell the truht truth, their lives were not easy. (explained sounds much more natural; truth was a spelling error, and the comma after "and" was not needed: ...., and to tell the truth, ....)
    They couldn't go atto school, in spite of they wanted to go (a few ways to say this: even though they wanted to go; in spite  of the fact that they wanted to go), and this makes me think about the children who live in the so called "first world" which (we don't usually use which to refer to people, better word to use would be who) often don't want go to school., they don't know, obviously, how lucky are they. They obviously don't know how lucky they are.


    I have always read a lot of books , however, since the internet arrived at  in my life, I spend a lot of time reading other things, indeed, I have three or four books half read. ( Since you are still reading, just not books, you need to clarify in the first part of your sentence. Also, most people where I live would add "on the shelf" or something like that to the end of your sentence).

    Healthy lifestyle.

    I think we should drink a litre and a half of mineral water a day, whenever possible we should avoid using elevators lifts and use take stairs instead(*lift is correct, but at least where I live elevator is a much more common word, also use the stairs is correct but most people where I live would say take the stairs). We should avoid eating pastries and try to eat three pieces of fruit every day. Having light dinners and getting enough sleep are also very important to leading a health lifestyle. is very important to lead a healthy lifestyle as well. (How you worded the last sentance was probably technically correct, but it sounded odd.) Ideally we should ride a bike instead of driving as it’s a good way to keep fit.

    5/19/19 Triatlón El Domingo me desperté a las cinco de la mañana para preparar por mi triatlón a las ocho y cinco. Bebí café y comí un banano, geles de energía, y pan. Hubo ciento setenta y cinco personas participaron en la carrera. Mi objetivo era nadar en quince minutos, mandar mi bicicleta en cuarenta minutos, y correr en veintidos minutos. La carrera fue un poco menos de un kilómetro de nadar, veintiuno kilómetros de bicicleta, y cinco kilómetros de correr. La natación era muy difícil para porque el agua era muy frío y la corriente era muy fuerte. Hice la natación en dieciseis minutos. Estuve muy mojado después de la natación y tuve un difícil tiempo me puse la ropa de bicicleta. Hube mucho cerros en el paseo de bicicleta. Terminé en cuarenta y dos minutos. Estuve muy cansado pero corrí en veinticinco minutos. Terminé el triatlón en una hora treinta y uno minutos. Esto fue uno minuto más que mi objetivo pero estaba felice. Fui número cincuento pero número tres en el grupo de edad treinta y cinco a treinta y nueve. Comí pizza y bebí unas cervezas para celebrar. Fui muy cansado por el resto del día. Busqué en el internet para encontrar el próximo triatlón. Espero que puedo practicar más y consigo mi objetivo.
