Correction:
Il lavoro in America
Gli americani lavorano molto. Non sappiamo come rilassarci. Ho un'esperienza personale in questo(*). Adesso durante la mia vacanza dell'università (**), lavoro 40 ore ogni settimana. Ma l'anno scorzo ho lavorato 60 (e qualche volta 70) ore <strike>per</strike> a settimana. Tutto per pagare <strike>per </strike>l'università. Lavoro <strike>e lavoro e lavoro</strike> continuamente (***) ma non risparmio. Ed io sono solamente studentessa. É normale per una persona che ha una carriera <strike>di</strike> lavorare 70-80 ore ogni settimana. Certo che non é cosí per ogni americano, ma non é una cosa strana.
Ho letto che in Europa tutto é differente, é vero? Potete spiegarmi com'é la vita <strike>del lavoro</strike> lavorativa in Italia o negli altri paesi d'Europa?

Notes (just details):
(*) Though formally correct, we would probably say, for example, “Vi posso raccontare la mia esperienza personale”
(**) Though formally correct it sounds a bit confusing. You could say “dall’università”, but we would probably say something like “durante le vacanze estive, in pausa dall’università”
(***) "Lavoro e lavoro"...grammatically correct but as matter of fact incorrect or at least very strange. It's better if you say "lavoro continuamente".

Congratulations Leandra!
On ypur profile in italki there is written that your Italian is at an elementary level, but I think you are better than that!
I also left some further notes about the expressions in blue, but maybe they are too much: we understand anyway! :-)
Ciao!

0 votedJuly 19, 20100- Question about conditional tense Hi! I often get confused when I have to say sentences like these: 1) I didn't know I would have been asked to pay the taxes when checking-in. 2) I didn't know I would be asked to pay the taxes when checking-in. Are there any differences? Maybe there is a difference on when the check-in took place (in the past or now) ?July 16, 201031
- First notebook entry: Introducing myself Hi, my name is Claudio and I am a young mechanical engineer. In my life I work in a big international company that makes helicopters. I am learning English for two reasons, first because I would like to be able to travel (for pleasure) everywhere without being afraid of comunicating, second because I use English for my job and.... it is always difficult when you speak with mother tongue English speakers!July 12, 201000
