    English writing practice (17 Mar)

    1. The brother of my husband's coworker has a disability <s>on his body.</s>
    Here, if you want to specify, you can say "a leg disability", for example. Or just give the name of the disability: "... has Parkinsons"

    2. Italian government tried to confine the Coronavirus to north Italy, but failed.

    3. The 2020 film 'Mulan' is about the story of a young woman of Chinese myth.
    I would write: The 2020 film 'Mulan' is about a young woman from a Chinese folklore.
    <ul><li>A myth is a made up story like those that the Greeks and Romans used to explain phenomena. This would be like folklore or a story because it isn't about magic or anything that is blatantly unreal. </li></ul>

    Great job and keep up the good work!

    ORIGINAL: Practising the grammar (a little text)

    Sometimes I write fake things here, not because I like lieing, just because I need to practice my grammar and I want to confirm if I use one word or expression in the right way.
    For example: my pool is as long as my garden. I just want to practice “as long as”, I don’t have even pool or garden right now. I’ll have both in my new house, but the pool it is smaller than the garden. But most people think I write about my real life, maybe would be because they write about theirs.

    I need a serie to be addicted to it, most of series in Netflix right now boring me. Do you have any good recommendation to me? Or any good book? I’ll watch/read it as long as the argument would be good.

    The situation today is more calm than previous days. It seem that people have accepted the situation and we just can wait and have care to don’t infect us or/and infect others.
    My cousin is in the south of France and now she is hard-pressed to come to Spain because the land border are closed since yesterday. I hope she would be fine.

    If I use any word or expression old fashioned, please, tell me, I would be grateful to know it.

    Feedback:

    Overall, you did an excellent job! There was only one sentence I didn't full understand, but that's ok!
    Here are some of the most common errors I found so you can look out for them next time:
    <ul><li>Whenever you are saying "it", "she", "he", or any object or name you must have an "s" at the end of the verb. For example, it seems. </li><li>Sometimes word order is a little tricky. You can practice this by reading books and studying word order!</li><li>Your grammar is great for the most part! You got stuck on a few advanced grammar points. I suggest using free resources online to help you learn or purchasing the book "ESL Grammar Intermediate and Advanced" by Mary Ellen Munoz Page. This book has great explanations and exercises! </li></ul>

    I hope this helps! Keep up the good work!

    please review my writing task two

    There are many controversial beliefs on school curriculum. <s>Certain </s> Experts believe history is a crucial subject while others advocate for science and technology. In my perspective, science and technology should be considered as first priority in educational systems <s>because of various</s> for a variety of reasons.

    History has been taught for decades, since history is a valued source of knowledge. Schoolchildren have been awarded <s>about </s> for their national values which hundreds of citizens have sacrificed their <s>own</s> lives to preserve and pass them from generation to generation. As a matter of fact, studying history enhances a sense of responsibility that encourages students to protect local (domestic) values. Besides, <s>certain</s> people have claimed that history is a repetitive process, while the individuals and conditions have been changing, people can learn how to make the best decision in the <s>same</s> similar situations. World war II, for instance, <s>had</s> left thousands injured and homeless <s>people</s>; however, it is now<s>adays</s> proven that negotiation is the best solution to make a better world.

    From another angle, the application of science and technology is essential in the modern era. Today a country will not achieve<s> to a </s>sustainable development unless it achieves the latest technology which depends on doing research in different science fields. Technology and science must be taught to young children for the future of a country. For example, producing food for the growing population <s>by old manners</s> using traditional methods is impossible; however, by the modern technologies and latest scientific innovation and discoveries in farming it is an accessible goal.

    In conclusion, history is a precious treasure of real stories that leads to learn from the past and make better decisions for future, <s>although</s> but developing a country depends on applying technology and science and students must be taught about them.

    “This video shows what Chelsea’s and Liverpool’s year was like” or “This video shows what Chelsea’s and Liverpool’s year were like” or “This video shows what Chelsea’s and Liverpool’s years were like”?


    I would say "This video shows what Chelsea's and Liverpool's years were like".

    When you have 2 possessive nouns that do not share ownership, you add the apostrophe + s after both nouns and the verb is plural.

    When the nouns share ownership, you add the apostrophe + s after the last noun and the verb is singular. For example: Mary and John's restaurant is booming.

    I hope this helps!

    It is argued that music is as important as other academic subjects in promoting acquisition in children's lives. In my opinion, this is true.

    In my view, competitive activities such as music programs can be a plus in children’s lives. In most music programs, students compete for certain positions and chairs. Therefore, such programs in school can promote competition among peers which can be brilliant for building children’s confidence. In addition, no matter how great a child is at music, at some point he or she will experience loss .Thus, he or she can learn to cope with his or her failures which can be essential in his or her later life, from missing academic goals to not getting a job interview.

    However, some people believe that music is a time-consuming activity and can be stressful. They claim that students can experience extreme physical pressures when their focus shifts from learning a subject to winning a competition. As a result, the pressure to play well can increase stress and make children feel less confident. Moreover, critics argue that students will spend too much time practicing, as they may find learning music more interesting than other subjects. Consequently, music will affect their ability to do their homework and study.

    In conclusion, whereas some claim that music can build pressure and be time-consuming, I believe such programs can promote learning in a child's life by building confidence and learning how to cope with their failures.

Some of my favorites are: quizlet.com (there is an app) Gimkit.com (no app, but a lot of fun) Kahoot.com (there is an app) Quizizz.com (there is an app These are all websites/apps that I have used both for myself learning language and in classes with students. You may look up PET exam vocabulary or make your own sets of vocabulary words, or both! I found this vocabulary PET Exam set on Quizlet as an example if you want to check it out (https://quizlet.com/_51llzf?x=1jqt&i=2ilbhr) Another fun website if you'd like to tune your listening skills with music is lyricstraining.com.
