- [feb 21] El problema de tener amigos extranjeros Ha sido un poco más de dos años desde que tomé un viaje de un año a Perú y China y hice amigos de alrededor del mundo. Aunque mucho tiempo ha pasado, yo pienso en ellos casi cada mes. Eso viaje fue el primer tiempo que viví con mi misma, y fue un tiempo que aprendí mucho de mí misma y obtuve un sentido de independencia. Cada destino que visité, me encontré rodear por personas geniales quienes llegaron de ser mis amigos buenos. Cuando sea gente que yo conozco hoy me pregunta cómo fueron las lugares que visité, a ellos les digo, “Fueron geniales! Pero es la gente que conocí en esos lugares que fuera lo más importante, porque cuando te acostumbres todos los aspectos físicos de un lugar, es la gente allá que te hace seguir sentir que hay siempre algo nuevo para descubrir.” Por eso, el problema de tener amigos extranjeros es que tienes que llevarles cuando se vuelve al hogar. Es muy difícil de mantenerse en contacto con ellos. De todos modos, estoy contenta que tenía el placer de conocerlos y espero que pueda visitarlos de nuevo un día!February 22, 2016110

I want to overcome my fear of to speaking in English. It's strange to speak another language that is not yours. I feel a little shame embarrassed when I have to speak it, but that's something this is a thing I want to change this year, so, I've started to speak it with my best friend and I'm here on Italki.
One thing way that I love to do to when I study English is to watch TV series, like such as The Walking Dead, The Vampires Diaries, Constantine, and Baby Dad (make sure to capitalize proper nouns!). I watch them on in a website page called Ororo TV. To watch them, first, I first watch do it without any subtitles, I then watch it second with subtitles in English, and finally, with subtitles in Spanish. I've learned a lot of words and expressions that people say use in the daily life.
Another (way I use to learn English/thing I do to learn English) is to listen to songs of by bands groups like The Beatles. and finally I also love to watch talks in TED.comComments:
Your English is great! I'm sure you speak it very well. There's just a few minor grammatical errors, but I definitely understood everything. I have the same problem with Spanish, it's so scary to speak it with native speakers!
Good job and keep writing! :)

This is a very difficult topic for me, because I i think my habits are changing this last year.
I want to tell you about it.
I used to go shopping 3 or 4 times a month, I i loved it. I enjoyed myself when I spending a lot of hours in around the shops, trying on more clothes and buying some of them. I was a big little spender. I spent my afternoons at the shopping centre (you could also say mall, which is more common).
But now I am changing this habit. I think now I am a saver now because I don´t always go to shopping, only when there are offers ("discounts" is probably more common). I buy by internet only the things that I i really need online, and I don´t buy what some objects that I can't don´t afford it.
I never should have bought an electrical bicycle because I i never use it. One day a few years ago, my brother and I were stayed bored. It was a cold winter morning and we decided to go went shopping at to a big shopping centre. and.I don´t know what is happened but we returned home with an one electrical bicycle that we have never used.Comments:
Watch out for capitalization (for example, the pronoun "I" is always capitalized) and tenses. Good job and keep writing!
0 votedFebruary 18, 20160- [feb 18] Memorizando una canción Algo de pronunciación en español es difícil. Para explicarte un poco de mi fondo, nací en China y vivía allí durante ocho años hasta mi madre y yo nos mudamos a Toronto. Entonces, no sabía hablar cualquier idioma ademas de chino hasta que yo tenía ocho años. Ahora, puedo expresarme mejor en ingles que chino, porque es el idioma que uso la mayoría del tiempo en mi vida cotidiana. Hoy, escuchaba a “Tú Tienes Razón” por el cantante Gusi, y estaba intentando de memorizar la letra, pero me encontré la pronunciación de algunas palabras muy difíciles y tenía que practicar mucho. No sé si es porque estoy acostumbrada a la pronunciación de palabras en ingles y mi boca no está acostumbrada a las estructuras de las oraciones, o es solo que la letra es demasiada rápida. En cualquier caso, me gusta el reto. Es muy gracioso viendo las reacciones de mis amigos quien son hispanohablantes cuando canto canciones españolas!February 18, 201650

A few weeks ago we heard a news about that Argentina is was going to change its bill to start featuring using now typical animals and landscapes found in Argentina from there instead of historical people. The news received mixed opinions was taken in a different ways by people because. Some people didn't want to change the bills since speacially they feel thought that replacing historical people with by animals would be it's like an offense to our country. Others felt but on the other hands there were people that said that maybe it these was a way to avoid disagreements regarding fights related to which historical people have to should be on the bills. Even There were even some jokes related to which the animals will that are going to appear on the next bills. For example, some people said that the whale (which is the animal that is going to be on the $200 bill) makes a jump in a wrong way. [I'm not sure what you mean to say here]
I want to share with you a draft of the new $200 bill.Comments:
Thanks for sharing the story! Let me know if you have any questions about any of the corrections. :)

On the other hand, some countries are trying to pony up [wrong usage, what do you want to say here?] the environment through innovations. According to The Eco-Innovation Observatory, the most eco-innovated country is Finland, as seen by the that fact could be illustrated with some Finnish entrepreneurs and companies that are venturing in this field.
During the lecture , the speaker brought up the Finnish economy up. She contained that one of the most important problems is that Finnish companies are afraid to pass from small to medium-sized company or from medium to large-sized company. [what's the problem? what are the companies afraid to pass?] We have to take into account that the Finland population is around 5 million so, if companies want to grow they have to look overseas. That situation could be beneficial not only for Finland but also for the environment as since, Finnish companies have a strong sense of the positive impacts of cleantech and sustainability.---
Comments: Good work on this journal entry! Just a few small comments:
- You don't have to put a comma after a conjunction (e.g. "not only for Finland but also for the environment as Finnish companies..."
- You may need to clarify what you mean by some of your points that I highlighted in blue
- Don't be afraid to form shorter sentences to avoid run-on sentences. It can also make your writing clearer.
Good job and keep writing!
0 votedFebruary 16, 20161Climate change has become an important problem for the humankind and governments have to pay close closely attention to it . the Presidents Barack Obama, and the president Xi Jinping announced their position on this problem, both recognizing the global warming temperature as an urgent problem and are willing to make efforts to reduce it. Now more than ever, cleantech is plays a crucial role in the growth of a country.
Cleantech is a cleaver concept that involves products and services that which promote the efficient use of natural resources as well as the reduction of emissions to the environment. It is worth highlighting to highlight that the main responsible of the emissions is the energy sectors, followed by the industrial and transport sector, are mainly responsible for emissions correspondently. In my opinion, I strongly believe we should apply it would be wise to applied strongly the cleantech principles to the energy sector for obvious reasons. In addition, I also think applying that to apply other concepts such as like sustainable circular economy, energy efficiency and energy saving would could be remarkably useful considering how since, companies and people won't do not have to spend a lot of money in order to contribute positively to the environment. so A good start would be to change our the habits and behavior towards the energy use.0 votedFebruary 16, 20160Movies and History
Hi everyone!
Watching movies is one of my favorite hobbies. When I was a child I liked watching animated movies the movies of caricature (I still like). But now I love many genres, including science fiction, and movies that focus on history and war, movies of fiction science, real history, and war. For example; like Llord of the Rrings, Star Wars, Schindler's List, The Llife is Bbeautiful... and many much more.
Actually, knowing about the history of our world is very important to me because wWe can learn the good things and reject the bad things [what do you mean?], also Learning history also allows us to We learn to value life and around us and that's REALLY IMPORTANT.
This is all.
