Hello! I'm Alex, and I'm currently living in the United States. I was living in South East Asia for the last year and a half, and before that I was a health worker for Peace Corps in Ghana for two years. I have been learning Spanish for over a year now, and I plan on visiting Colombia in a few months to study Spanish in Bogota. Before I go I really want to gain some more speaking experience!

    Ink is another way to refer to tattoos because of the situation. Since they are made of ink, it’s just a way to say tattoo when you are talking about the subject. Kind of like when you are in a tattoo parlor and you say “I need to get some work done”. It’s obvious that by work you mean more tattoos. As for the second part, when I read that passage “graven images” to me, refers to tattoos in general. Doesn’t matter what type of image, the speaker obviously doesn’t like them so to that person, all tattoos are “graven images” or in other words terrible images to have on your body forever.

    ------------------------------------------

    Unexpectedely I realized that is time to accept those queer (strange) and wacky feelings and thoughts. Despite the fact of getting ride of them or trying to disguise them would be easier but they amend (change) day by day. So it is useless.

    Once I read a quote from Placebo´s Singer who said:
    - "When people Heard the Word "beatutiful", they expected something to be pretty. And for me that´s not always necessarily the case".
    Why is it so difficult recognise that so (to recognize that)? I completely agree with it. Secluded and intrincated (intricate) thoughts are where the truly (true) beauty takes place.
    Instead of admit (accepting) them we just try to be able to fit within society impose.
    I reckon that if most people would accept that, world relationships would be simplier and less complicated (more simple and less complicated mean the same thing).

    People tend to make up stories most of the time, or even give false opinions just to be included in certain groups. They are not trying to take you in, they are just looking for a mechanism to make the society works. But the fact is that those mechanisms are not literrally (literal), they always contain second meanings, which are not easy to understand.
    To be inmerse (immersed) in a world where everything is like a puzzle can be desvastated (devastating) and tired.
    At least in art some kind of realese (release) can be found, with no questions or asking (need) for explanations.

    ----------------------------------------------------

    Great job, and most of these corrections are just for flow, and to make it sound smoother, but when it is an artistic piece like this, it is difficult to know what to change because I can tell you put a lot of emotion into it.

    They mean that they enjoy teaching everyone from kids, to teenagers, young adults, adults and *people who have retired*. They are expressing that they like to teach a very broad age group.

    I would say... Most smokers continue to insist on smoking, even though they know the disadvantages of it.
