This is a real problem in today's society!

Thanks Martin! What a great story, I'm so glad you found your friend :D

John, good question! I think native is usually defined as someone who is born in a country and native English speaker would be defined as someone who speaks that language from birth, in other words it is their 'mother tongue'.

I can help!

Hi Juan,

What a great attitude!

I teach English and just came back from Medellin, Colombia, it's a beautiful country. What are you doing in New Zealand?

I offer trial English lessons for only $1 so we can see if it is a good fit.

I look forward to our first class :)

Hi Angelica,

I just travelled to Mexico, what a beautiful country, where are you from in Mexico?

My Spanish isn't very good yet!

I offer English classes, trial lessons are only $1. I have worked in universities for around 8 years so have experience in education too.

I am looking forward to our first lesson :)

Hi Valeria, I specialise in helping students with their academic English. Have a look at the corrections below:

Books in my life

Books… Undoubtedly books play an important <s>part</s> role in my life. I did not <s>use to </s>read a lot when I was a child. I <s>have</s> started being interested<s>ing</s> in reading <s>since</s> at about ten or eleven years old. The first book of mine ,I read <s>in</s> on my own , was approximately 100 pages long <s>book</s>. I mean, it was really small and ridiculously senseless (not sure this is the right word- think you might mean childish). It was called <s>s</s> “ How to become and stay stupid”. There are some another books from this chapter (do you mean chapter in your life or same book publisher?). I used to read small books, I thought that they <s>was</s> were easier to read. But <s>during the</s> over time I became interested in more serious and meaningful books. I really enjoy<s>ed</s> reading novels, especially adventure novels, and also thrillers <s>were</s> are some <s>ones</s> of my favorite genres of literature.

Moreover, I think, nothing was change. I get used reading books in the same genre. However now I try to avoid nonsensical volumes, <s>such</s> like I used to read in my childhood…

Now, I intend to share some readable books with you. To begin with, you just ought to read all volumes written by Bernar Werber. He's a writer of remarkable ability. . Bernar’s books are very fantastic and <s>interesting in written style </s>he has an interesting writing style. He writes in fantasy genre and touches on topic such as: creation of the world; life after death/ before birth; consciousness potential etc. I adore all books of his, but “ star butterfly” is really nice:)

To move on I <s>either </s>intend to tell you about, irrefutably, the most impressive book series which I have read <s>read at one time</s>. This series is named “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children”. These are really nice fantasy about children with supernatural abilities. In each of book some events are described in detail. As I said before, it is a quadrology, so each of part is very interesting, nevertheless, my favorite books are first and fourth volumes. In addition there is a film <s>what</s> that was <s>made from </s>based on the book.

And I continue with my one more favorite genre – thrillers. To be honest, it is really complicated to find a nice one…But I got it. Unfortunately, I have a trouble <s>in</s> reading such books. For instance, once I start I just cannot put the book down <s>help stopping reading them</s>, because, in general, the plot is very interesting, that is why I might spend hours <s>on</s> reading. By the way, my must-have are these books: “women in the train” and “ice twins”. I would rather not tell you a plot, because I really want you to read these books on your own.

I hope this article was useful for you and now you have a good list of books to read. Thanks for your attention:)
