- Algunos pensamientos Hola todos:) Tengo que reconocer no me disfruto escribir en el español aunque me trato de mejorar en el idioma. Creo que es así porque no quiero equivocarme cuando estoy hablando/escribiendo el español porque no es bastante bueno mi vocabulario español. También, me molesta cuando tengo que traducir en la cabeza todo el tiempo al ingles. Sin embargo, intento a escribir más en el español para que mejore mi aprendizaje. He comprado un cuardernito para que pueda escribir sobre mi vida diara. En esta manera, quizas me pueda acomstumbrar al idioma más y más y dejar de tener el miedo de escribir o hablar en el español para las razones que ya he os dicho. Espero que tenga sentido este texto:/ Por favor correctame si he cometedo unos errores o el escritio suena raro.April 9, 202050
- 'Increasingly' is describing the verb 'to pay' in this instance. Another example would be something like "people are increasingly using credit cars as opposed to cash". Here, "increasingly" is describing the verb "to use". On the other hand "increasing" is used as an adjective when describing a noun, for example: "homes are increasing in price", here "increasing" is describing "homes" which is a noun. Here is a way to help distinguish between both "increasingly" and increasing": "The company is increasingly growing larger and larger because its customer base is increasing." In this sentence, "increasingly" is there to describe "growing" (verb) whilst "increasing" is there to describe their "customer base" (noun). I hope this helps.0 votedMarch 22, 20200
- Yes it's quite common to use that sort of phrase. You can also contract it by saying "I'd rather have had". Also, watch out in everyday spoken english how much further native speakers, specifically in the UK, can further contract such a sentence. You might hear something like "I'd rather of / 'av 'ad" which is grammatically incorrect but they're just saying it so fast that it sounds like that.0 votedMarch 22, 20200
- Generally all correct but there's a few mistakes or instances of weird wording. Here's how I would write it.Political Science student in my final year (?) at the Eastern Mediterranean University. Given the diversity and complexity of on-going political events, I'm interested in engaging with policy-making and problem-solving on a variety of related topics. My areas of interest lie within social and cultural fields, as well as fields within international relations (I don't think you should abbreviate in a CV) and diplomacy.0 votedMarch 19, 20200
- <s>Finally</s> Nonetheless, (better to say this instead of 'finally' because "nonetheless' suggests that there is a turning point in your composition) there are some ways how this issue can be solved. This issue is caused by us, so <s>we also need to</s> it is beholden onto us to fix this. A great idea is<s> that everyone needs to be</s> to make everyone aware of this impending ecological disaster. We can <s>reach that</s> achieve this by making today’s generation learn about this huge issue. When they grow up they would probably have a more eco-friendly life. With that their children would be more concerned about protecting the environment.I am available if you need further information. I am looking forward to hearing from you.Yours sincerely,(state your name)Virtually everything in this text was grammatically correct, I've just made more stylistic suggestions that make it seem more natural and I've included phrases that can hopefully impress your teacher lol.0 votedMarch 19, 20200
- It's my English home work. It doesn't need to be perfect, just correct my mistakes if you can.Dear project manager, I am writing with regard to (sounds better to say "in regards to") the environmental project (It would sound better if you added some context. Have you been previously speaking about it? If so it sounds better to add at the end "that we have been speaking about/ discussing) and I would like to assist in your project. As I have heard about (better to say "having heard about") your plan I got curious and I decided to help you.First of all, I would like to point out the ecological issues in Austria which need to be noticed by people (you could say "the general public" instead). The main problem is the lack of water. People consume way too much water<s> in a day</s> ("in a day" doesn't need to be said) than they actually need to in order to survive. If they continue doing this then one day there will not be enough water for <s>the Austrian habitants</s> (this sounds a bit weird, you could say "everyone in the country").Secondly, I would like to mention who also gets affected by this situation; animals. (What animals? not all animals need higher water consumption. It would make more sense if you specifically mentioned larger animals such as livestock). <s>Because</s> (in formal english, it's frowned upon to start a sentence with 'because') Due to their higher water consumption, they can die of thirst and become extinct. <s>On the other hand this environmental problem will also affect the </s><s>in</s><s>habitants. This needs to be ended before the animals and people get short on water.</s> (you've already mentioned humans being affected by the lack of water supply so this point is redundant. It would be better if you said something like "a decrease in the livestock population will have a knock-on effect onto humans who rely on animals for sustenance.)0 votedMarch 19, 20200
- COVID-19 IN ITALYI'm from Italy and I live in Naples, since the end of January all Italians <s>people</s> <s>are</s> have been experiencing a real nightmare or to be more specific <s>the</s> COVID-19. I'm talking about Italians but I know that this has become a problem for the entire world. It has been almost 15 days since <s>we all are</s> being / we've been in quarantine. Basically we are forced to stay <s>in our</s> home, we can't get out for the stupidest reasons, we can only get out of our homes <s>to go</s> to get groceries or go to the pharmacy. The state is asking us to be heroes staying in our houses to <s>sage</s> save / help the country and the people more vulnerable such as the older.I personally love being with my grandparents and I would never risk my health to compromise theirs. I'm following the rules staying at home and keeping everything clean for the sake of my parents. Unfortunately out there there are many people who still don't realize the gravity of the entire situation and keep on with their life normally as if nothing had happened or there are others who think that this is just a common flu. This is not a flu or a simple fever, this is a virus and people die from it. I'm spending my days trying to study for my exams, working out, cooking and baking cakes but <s>on</s> in the background there is always the newscast that <s>every day</s> 24/7 updates new cases and gives numbers that each day spread more and more. I think that staying positive now sounds like bullshit because there is nothing positive in all this. But on the other hand I think that this virus is a great lesson for us all, it is teaching us to not underestimate the power of nature, to not underestimate the importance of being with your family and to not underestimate the beautiful in <s>side the</s> simple acts.I hope that we <s>could</s> can get out of this situation as soon as possible and to come back to normality.I hope you're doing as well as one possibly could in this dire situation. It truly is bewildering out there but I know that we can all get through this!Much love,Zac0 votedMarch 19, 20201
