    Summary of Gossip girl

    Recently I watch Gossip Girl on Netflix because I have to understand when people talk in English.
    So , I decide to write a summary. Gossip Girl is a story about rich young guys on the upper east side in Manhattan.
    Basically each episod says the same story: one girl slept with a friend of this best friend, they were a fight together, they said 'I have true feelings for him' and finally they broke up.
    It 's very cliché , and even know but I can't stoping to watch. Probably because I want to know how it will end.

    Recently, I’ve been watching ‘Gossip Girl’ on Netflix in order to practise listening to spoken English and improve my comprehension. So, I’ve decided to write a summary.

    ‘Gossip Girl’ is a series about rich, young people on the Upper East Side. Basically, each episode has the same plot: one girl sleeps with a friend of her best friend, they fight, they said things like 'I have true feelings for him' and, finally, they break up. It’s very cliché, I know, but nevertheless, I just can't stop watching. Probably because I need to see how it all will end!

    Q: What is your hideout?
    A: A small mountain at behind my house. I usually go for a walk in the morning and there are full of fresh air. Leaves turn collar by a season that makes me feel change the season.

    Q: Where do you go to reflect, rest and recharge?
    A: The hills behind my house. I usually go for a walk in the morning and enjoy the fresh air. The leaves turn colour <em>(or ‘color’ if you prefer the US spelling)</em> in autumn which makes me aware of the change in season.

    Une tentante malbouffe que j’ai banni de ma vie J'ai essayé de manger sainement ces derniers temps. J'ai considérablement réduit la quantité d'aliments sucrés ou grassieux que je mange. Je ne bois que très sporadiquement de l'alcool. Bien que la plupart des aliments malsains aient simplement été réduits, je suis même allé jusqu'à interdire totalement une gâterie salée particulièrement tentante de ma vie: les croustilles. C'est vrai! Je suis actuellement engagé à ne jamais manger des croustilles. Pour la plupart, je suis heureux de la décision d'être plus conscient de mon régime alimentaire et je suis généralement capable de résister à la tentation de manger la malbouffe. Cependant, de temps en temps, je ressens le désir de manger des croustilles, puis je me souviens de ma promesse envers moi-même (jamais de chips) et je me dis: "Mon Dieu, qu'est-ce que j'ai fait?"

    Un Halloween effrayant! La nuit d'Halloween, il y avait une grosse tempête. Le vent a tellement soufflé que plusieurs arbres sont tombés dans notre bas-cour. Une grande branche d'arbre a détruit la ligne électrique et a même mis à feu l'un des poteaux de téléphone! Nous n'avons eu aucun pouvoir pendant deux jours. Aujourd'hui, je suis reconnaissant d'être de retour à la normale, mais je suis conscient du fait que beaucoup d'autres personnes en Ontario et au Québec n'ont toujours pas le pouvoir après des pannes de courant similaires. C'était vraiment un Halloween effrayant!

    Pas grand-chose Quelquefois, je me dis que n’ai pas le têmps pour écrire un éntré dans le calepin d’italki. Mais, je réalise que il ne doit pas être un grand-chose. Même des quelques lignes seront suffisant. Voici les miennes pour le soir. J’espère que vous allez bien partout où vous êtes dans le monde en ce moment. À plus tard!

    That works. It’s not slang, and you could see that sentence in any of the contexts you mention. It’s inspired me to come up with a tongue twister, though: ‘The pimped out pickup picked up the pace’. Elements of that sentence ARE slang, and it’s not to be used in formal conversation.

    Hi, I’m Asuka. I’m studying English at university. I try to speak English every day, but so far I’m not very good. I also study English phonetics. I believe that in order to speak English perfectly it’s necessary to focus on pronunciation. Am I wrong? Please give me advice and help me to improve my English.

    <em>Very good. I could definitely definitely understand your intention in every sentence and the grammar is mostly good as well. I just adjusted for better flow. If you’re actually asking for advice, and not just looking for a correction, I’d say you’re not wrong at all to focus on phonetics. I’m trying to think about pronunciation a lot in my target language too (French); I believe it provides a solid foundation for all four of the things we’d eventually like to be able to do at some point: read, listen, write and speak. If it feels slow or frustrating at times, don’t give up, just keep going! You can do it. </em>

    Well, you would never say, “Here is a poetry I wrote”, but you would say, “Here is some poetry I wrote”. The poetry you’re talking about there is simply a sample of the larger thing: all poetry. And if you say, “Here is poetry I wrote” you could be talking about one poem, or several poems, but the ‘some’ is implied. You’re talking about it as a sample of something bigger. It’s like ‘water’. If you said, “There’s water on the floor”, you would mean “There’s some water on the floor”, some of all the water there is. Poetry is like water, and a poem is like a puddle.

    It’s possible to say it either way, but there’s a subtle difference between the two. ‘His eyes rolled toward me’ places emphasis on the eyes and may even (but not necessarily) imply an involuntary action. ‘He rolled his eyes toward me’ places emphasis on the character to whom the eyes belong and the action that he has deliberately performed. It’s just a matter of literary effect. Neither is wrong.

    I would say there’s no difference between poetry and verse. Your example here is definitely verse. It is poetry, and it is a poem. I’d be careful about calling it ‘a verse’ though. ‘A verse’ refers to a single line, or a group of lines from a poem. So, the whole piece could be described as verse, but the first line, for example, would be a verse.
