    Is this short text ok? Thanks! Should people bank online? Discuss. New technologies are here to stay. Long queues at the bank are a thing of the past. Nowadays, the development of new technologies and electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets allow people to get into their bank account from their homes. But it wasn’t always like that, in the first stages, this technology was a permanent source of distrust by the general public, especially the elder. However, as the security issues were resolved and the systems were improved, most of the people changed their minds, the idea of online banking was not considered such a daring endeavour anymore. These last years, online banking has become part of our everyday life. It is not a risk-free activity but it is safe enough for most of the people. Considering all these ideas I think people should bank online, the advantages overcome the disadvantages by far. A time will come when people won’t even remember that in the past you had to go to a bank to exchange currency or to cash a check.

    Is this short text alright? Thanks Should developing countries concentrate on improving industrial skills or should they promote education first? In my opinion, countries should concentrate on improving education as their main aim. Education is the necessary foundation from where to develop a sense of nation, common interest and concomitant efforts. The first step should be to develop the required organizational structure and to create the necessary consensus among the different social actors. Secondly, provide the funds needed to build schools and colleges, taking into account the salaries of teachers and professors. Finally, this system has to be free and open for the general public, preventing any kind of discrimination. Once such an educational system is running, the graduates will eventually reach the point in which they possess the optimal skills that the industrial sector requires. Is in this moment when the country will see the results on their efforts, or the return on the investment, as it is called in business argot. Why some goverments decide against these measures when there is a general consensus regarding its advantages? It is a question difficult to answer, every country has its own political agenda and when talking about such a complex subject the political parties are ready to blame their adversaries.

    Una exposición muy interesante

    Hola Helena,

    hace algunos días te envié unos mails. ¿Los recibí? ¿Los recibiste?

    Ayer vi una exposición muy interesante. Es decir, los las pinturas fueron eran preciosas pero también un poco encorsetadas, rígidas. El artista no es muy conocido, por eso quiero aplicarme a ahondar en el conocimiento de su obra.

    Muy bien!

    Application letter. Is this correct? Thanks To whom it may concern, My name is Mark Smith, I have recently seen your advertisement published in the Morning Star and would like to apply for the offered position. I lived in Germany for three years when I was younger therefore I have a good command of that language, I can welcome the German players, introduce them to the facilities and explain all the different aspects regarding the tournament organization. In addition, I can speak Italian fluently in case it is needed. I am an outgoing person who loves team work, friendly, with lots of motivation and willing to accept any challenge. In 2009 I worked doing a volunteer job with refugees in Italy, I had to coordinate with five other workers the food supply to guarantee that the food arrived in time and in a continuous basis. Also I was part of the team who were in charge to raise money for the camp, which at the end resulted in a very succesful task. I hope you consider my previous experience and qualifications for this position. You can find attached my contact information. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Kind regards, Mark Smith

    Andalucia

    El año pasaso mi marido y yo visitamos muchos edificios históricos y educativos en España incluso la alhambra en Granada y las mezquitas en Sevilla y Córdoba.

    En Córdoba estuvimos a cuarenta y siete grados! Era bueno estar dentro porque odio tomar el sol!

    Por lo tanto pasé mucho tiempo descansado en la sombra con una copa de vino.

    Andalucía es un lugar muy bonito y para mí fue una experiencia que no olvidaré nunca.

    El año que viene yo y mi marido estamos preparado it a grande vacaciones nuestro familia. unas grandes vacaciones con nuestra familia.

    Si tuviéramos más dinero nos gustaría pagar por mis padres a visitar Andalucía. poder pagarle a nuestros padres un viaje a Andalucía.

    En mi opinión ellos encuentran la experiencia fenomenal. Espero que mis padres ganen la competición para que pueden experimentar espana España por primera vez.


    Muy bien! Está casi perfecto. Algunas frases tienen algún pequeño error, pero una persona que hable español te hubiera entendido igual.

    Is this email correct? Thanks! To whom it may concern, I am grateful for the opportunity to propose some suggestions regarding the facilities of my old college. I hope my opinion will be useful for this matter. One of the most important issues regarding the socialization of the students is the availability of a space that can meet those needs. What we have now is an old fashioned backyard that needs to be refurbished as soon as possible, however, if we could change the use of that space and tell the students to gather in the new building that would be even more appropriate since it is bigger and closer to the main entrance. The floors and the ceilings in the classrooms need to be repaired as well, the general decay of the building is not inspiring for the students and have a negative impact in their motivation towards study. These academic and social factors are facets of the same problem. I am aware that the budget of the college is limited in this moment but we must consider that this investment will obtain reasonable returns in the future. The parents and teachers of the college agree with these points of view, and of course, the students. I will be glad to present a detailed report to the college council next week when we can further discuss the implications of my proposal. Yours sincerely, Mr. Marshall

    Los muchos países del mundo.

    Hay muchos países en el mundo como américa América, europea, latinoamérica y muchos más. Me gustaría visitar esos países porque son muy divertidos interesantes en mi opinión. Me gusta la cultura, la música, la buena comida y todo lo demás. Para A mí me gusta aprender los idiomas que son de los diferentes países porque es muy importante, en es una forma para de entender a la gente más.


    ¡Muy bien! Se entiende bien lo que quieres decir.

    Algunos detalles: América y Europa son continentes, no países. Ten en cuenta que si te refieres a los Estados Unidos de América o USA, en español decimos "Estados Unidos" o "los Estados Unidos", para nosotros América es todo el continente que comienza en Canadá en el norte y acaba en Argentina en el sur.

    ¡Vas muy bien!

    Apprender español

    Me gustaría escribir sobre mi experiencia con aprender el aprendizaje del español. Aprendo español desde hace 1 año mas más o menos. Aprendía con "duolingo" pero no me guste gusta mucho. Creo que tal vez es muy útil para algo algunas personas pero para me prefirió mí prefiero otra maneras para aprender.
    Ahora uso "ankidroid" y "busuu" y por supuesto italki. Tengo un novio de español y intento practicar con él, pero no es muy fácil! Cuando aprendía holandés, tuve clases dos vez por semana. Ahora empiezo con lecciones con un maestro de italki tres muy amable. Es de España y espero que puedas enseñarme mucho.
    Para me mí, el partes de la parte del español mas más difícil están es hablar y escuchar (y entender lo que escucho!). Creo que el español es un idioma muy rápido! Escribir y leer son es mas más fácil para me mí. Tengo que aprender mas palabras, mas vocabulario, por ejemplo para describir rasgos de personalidad. Ademas Además, tendré que aprender las patrones las conjugaciones de los verbos mejor.
    Diría que me gusta mucho aprender español aunque necesito pasar dedicarle mucho tiempo, y lo me cuesta mucho (en este momento). Pero cuando aprendía holandés, tuve el mismo sentimiento, pero sin embargo ahora puedo hablar en holandés sin dificultad. Entonces voy a seguir aprender español! :-)

    ¡Excelente! Cuando ves tantas correcciones parece que hay muchos errores, pero en general son pequeños errores ortográficos como las tildes en las palabras "mas" o "además" y el uso de algún pronombre o posesivo: mi o mí. La redacción en general es muy buena, ¡con un poco de práctica dominarás muy bien el español!

    Killer tornado- (short email text) Hallo Mark, Do you remember we were talking yesterday about the wheather report for Madrid? Well, I was at home with my family and guess what, suddenly a tornado appeared in the horizon! My mother took the video camera and began filming, it was kind of funny but in less than a minute we had to close all the windows and run to the basement because the tornado was just above our house and the furniture was flying all over the place! Part of the roof just dissapeared in front of our eyes and we were terrorized, we couldn’t stay there so we went to a hotel not far from home. I’m still at shock, it was a traumatic experience. I wish I had listened to my father’s advise, he told me that this was going to happen sooner or later. You won’t believe it but when we thought that everything was over my mother realized she had forgotten to renew the insurance policy for the house! Now we’ll have to spend lots of money repairing all the damages.
