Birds and Me

I used to think that maybe I wasn’t cut out to be a bird keeper, because most birds were way too noisy for me and they were not gentle at all. The canary I have now is my 6th/sixth bird, and it has proved to be a perfect pet for me so far. Never in a single day have I found its voice<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">s/</s>singing/chirping annoying, nor <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">has</s> its temperament. I guess this is the same with people. Sometimes, we’re just surrounded by people who don’t really click with us. And<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">,</s> those who see our true value do not always live near us. I never <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">know</s> knew till now that I could like a bird from the bottom of my heart <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">till now</s>.

Correction of a sentence

Hello, could you please correct the sentence below?

What really frustrates me though is the position I'm in. I don´t know how I´m supposed to bring about change in regards to problems of such magnitude.

Give me a correction please

What if I mention "surgery", which means you will lie in on an operating <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">operation</s> table, and have no choice but to let others cut open and sew <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">on</s> up your body themselves; how do you feel about it? No matter how positive you are, I am sure that it would not make you feel comfortable. Instead, in England, the (struggle)/problem has been (worked out)/solved with new technologies, though it just/only covers a little part/a few types of surgery. It is <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">just time's matter to extend</s> only a matter of time before it is extended <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">them</s> to other types.

How do they conduct it? Generally, patients <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">can </s>wear a virtually reality headset to distract them as they are injected with a localised anaesthetic. That way, even if they are awake during surgery, they cannot see or hear <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">nothing</s> anything about this surgery, but only the exotic scenery of their choice, like desert, sea or forest. <s>Specially,</s> Crucially/Interestingly, the sense of touch still remains, so they would <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">kind of</s> feel <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">like</s> someone else touching them sometimes. Currently, the VR headsets are only used for patients accepting arm and hand surgery, but as I mentioned above, it is hoped to be made use of in other types <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">soon later </s>soon/later/sooner or later.

Italki community

Today was a busy day <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">to</s> for me. I couldn't write an entry earlier. Today I just don't know what to write about, because I keep thinking about the people here on Italki. Every time I write something, I get corrections. <s>nearly all the time</s>. I just say thanks to them. But I really want to say more than <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">a</s> the word "thanks". I have recieved <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">many helps</s> a lot of help, but I am still so surprised sometimes about/with how thoughtful people are. I like them a lot and they make our world much better. <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">I felt</s>? Today I got a long correction from a young man. He is maybe/(only?) a young boy but very kind to others, I guess. I try to teach my kids to be kind to people like him. Thank you Italkiers!
