- Nice job! Just a few comments.1) The sand was<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">n't</s> neither loose nor wet.2) The weather was severely bad; <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">,</s> it was both snowy and cold (I would use a semi colon here. These are two clauses that could exist as separate sentences but are the ideas are connected to each other, so you could use a semi colon. Or you could say, The weather was severely bad, as it was both snowy and cold.3) We had two options, either cease production or continue working losing money. (this is a tough one, I would say just put a comma.4) The procedure was neither enjoyable nor unpleasant. (This one is perfectly fine)5) They had two main suspects who could have set the building on fire and neither of them had<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">n't</s> <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">had </s>a plausible alibi. (neither turns it into a negative so it's just had)6) When the commission will evaluates you they will take <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">into consideration</s> both your presentation and your speech into consideration.7) To me, neither of them are<s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">n't </s>similar to the guy who rubbed the bank last night. (In this case saying "either of them aren't" technically makes sense if you think about it but it's not natural and a little confusing to a native English speaker. I would change "either" to "neither" and that would make "aren't" positive again)0 votedJune 5, 20201
- my english daily practice***I want to retrained and have a new career orientationplease check my english,thank you a lotI'm not entirely sure what you mean by retrained. We wouldn't really use the word 'retrained'. But I'm assuming you mean that you want to go back to school/university with a new career focus. So maybe try this:I want to go back to school so that I can explore new career options.OR if you want to use the same language you used, maybe try:I want to be retrained and have new career options.0 votedMarch 20, 20201
- 291 - Stay calm<s>Recently </s>At the moment<s>, since the situation is not the best,</s> (<em>since this is affecting so many people and you're about to explain next sentence, this isn't needed</em>) news should be read sparingly. The worst has not yet come and <s>giving </s><s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">a</s><s>n input at</s> feeding our brain bad news every day is unnecessarily dangerous. Why should I always know how many people are infected or in intensive care? This news is surely useful from a certain point of view because they make people reflect before <s>going out of</s> leaving their house without permission, but it also spreads unrest and concern. The best approach (to this situation - <em>you can omit this, you have the context from your paragraph but there is no harm in keeping it</em>) is to wait and stay calm. Everything is going to <s>be</s> get better OR be fine. It's just a matter of time.0 votedMarch 20, 20201
- Good job! Here are some corrections I've made. I made mostly edits that make it flow and sound better to a native speaker.292 - The differences with a real wordThis forced isolation <s>of these days</s> is teaching us what's like to be alone. I'd heard others <s>people </s>talk about <s>telling others</s> how being alone isn't <s>wasn't </s>such a big deal, and that it's something they could easily <s>would </s>cope with<s> without problems</s>, but now they're regretting everything. Since the beginning of the forced quarantine two weeks ago, life has changed. We must deal with new problems and many of us are realizing that <s>even just</s> <em>(I don't know how to describe it but saying "even just" would indicate you're about to say a short time)</em> staying home for such a long time is extremely hard. This is especially true for <s>all</s> those of us who are outgoing and talkative. Yes, you can make some calls, but talking with another human being in person is completely different. This is also why it's usually taught that in-person interaction <em>(or in-person conversation, either works)</em> <s>talking with someone in person</s> for work purposes <s>ing reason</s> is preferred over <s>much better than using</s> <em>(either works, I just prefer to be more concise)</em> Skype. In a video call, reaching the same level of engagement offered by a real conversation is almost impossible. Our brain is <s>has been</s> hardwired to work better in real situations since the possibilities offered by this new digital world are a novelty in terms of evolution. But there are also some positive effects. In this time we can improve our patience, hone our empathy, cultivate new hobbies and discover new passions. Maybe having ('<em>Maybe' makes the sentence sound better but it doesn't need to be there</em>) so much free time isn't so bad after all...0 votedMarch 20, 20201
