    Notre Dame Cathedral

    For the entire day, my friends, teachers and I have been discussing the horrible accident of the famous cathedral. Frankly speaking, I have nothing to say. The news is shocking. It seems unbelievable to me that the ancient building which lived through wars now is severely damaged, though the president of France says there will be attempts to renovate it. Some my friends from the university feel really intensely about it. What about me, yesterday I was in a rather vexed mood and now I just really wonder about the reasons. Unfortunately, I've never been to Paris because of lack of opportunity. However I yearn to visit and to taking a look at its sites. As a tourist I would definitely like to visit this place in future. I wish I had visited it earlier... But that's the way the cookie crumbles.
    In my city there is also a celebrated building of which Odessa and even Ukraine is proud — the Opera and Ballet Theater. I can imagine the sorrow of Ukrainians if something has happened to it. So my sympathies go out to the French. I know that the cathedral hasn't been entirely burned. The Russian president and some French billionaires have already offered their help. So I hope France won't lose such a valuable structure.

    A popular television program (167 words)

    I don't often watch TV programs, because of recent TV programs aren't fun for me. [I don't watch TV anymore, because modern programs aren't as much fun for me.]  {suggestion: you might also wish to express how either you or the programs have changed, thus becoming incompatible for entertainment}
    When I was a kid, I enjoyed watching TV. I don’t watch anime now, but I watched anime every day when I was a kid. I heard that Japanese anime is very famous and popular in the world. When I was a kid, I watched Dragon Ball and Doraemon {changed titles to italics, quotes are okay, but less common}. Dragon Ball is still very popular in Japan as well as overseas. The reason that Japanese Anime is popular in the world is because the characters of Anime are all very individualistic and the stories have uniqueness, I guess.
    I know “One Piece” is one of the most popular Anime in the world. I don’t watch it on TV, but I had read it in a comic. It was fun for me, but I stopped reading it, because there are a lot of characters in it and the story was complicated for me. But if I have an opportunity, I want to read or watch it again.

    Pokemon Games

    Although I rarely play video games nowadays, I used to be enthusiastic about them as a child, particularly Pokemon games. 


    Pokemon is one of the best-selling video games in Japan. Everyone knows the name and I suppose that most of the Japanese people under 30 have played this addictive game in childhood.

    The anime series and films of Pokemon were also the things that strongly attracted thousands of children. They had brought substantial profits to the animation industry.

    By the way, I hated losing at computer games. It's a little embarrassing, but tears streamed from my eyes whenever I failed to be a winner at Pokemon battles. So, Pokemon reminds me of the old days when I often cried.


    - Great throughout!

    Hi Phil! Thanks so much! I think I understand that part about the incertidumbre, but I am focusing know the phrase alludes to that based on the presence or absence of "a". Maybe it is really obvious, but I am still lost on why the "a" indicates existence, whereas without the "a", (the only difference in the sentences that I see) it indicates the unknown. Thanks again!

    With "a" and without "a" in the indicative and subjective clausal adjectives

    Hola Todos! Hi all. I have a question about  [El indicativo y el subjuntivo en cláusulas adjetivales]  

     

    In the following sentences, I am curious why when the a is present, the verb vivir is in indicative form, and when a is absent, the verb vivir is conjugated in subjunctive form.

    Estoy confuso, en los siguientes frases - que significa el a porque el verbo cambió a subjuntivo ... porque sin el "a" el verbo cambió a subjuntivo?

     

     "Buscan a un médico que vive aquí"

    VS

    "Buscan un médico que viva aquí"

    Verb actors with example phrases. Actores en verbos con ejemplos

    Hola amigos. I have a problem understanding the actor in the verb usage. The answer for 4 : hace, and 5: dependamos. But how do I know that la tecnología is the actor in the underscored verb? And how do I remember that nos is to be carried through for the verb depender?

    Is it possible to also use ellos form of presente de subjuntivo for answer 5? as in dependan

    Es obvio que la tecnología nos ______________ (4.hacer) la vida más fácil, pero muchos tienen miedo de que ______________ (5.depender) demasiado de las computadoras.


    MUCHOS MUCHOS GRACIAS :D :D :D
