Bonjour / Hola -- Me llamo Lisa, me gusta mucho aprender las idiomas y culturas de todo el mundo. Pienso en un viaje à Oaxaca en enero y quiero profundizar mis capacidades y hablar con fluidez. J'adore apprendre, et apprendre les langues surtout. Je travaille dans une boîte d'architecture, et pour le plaisir je lis, couds et tricote, et je fais du roller aussi. En ce moment je m'enseigne le japonais. J'étudiais le français pour plusieurs années et je pense à une carrière de traduction. Dans ce but j'ai l'intention d'enrichir ma capacité de parler couramment et écrire plus naturellement.

Avec Lisa, on a poursuivi le dialogue entre amis en japonais au bord du lac. Elle prend plaisir à s'exprimer, à découvrir des expressions verbales, à reformuler etc. Bien revoir les adjectifs de type I et Na et les combos afin d'enrichir l'échange. Exercice très plaisant qui souligne la créativité de l'élève ! Bravo !

Avec Lisa on a parlé de sa formation mais aussi on a fait une conversation autour d'une sortie entre amis, le but étant de réapprendre à reformuler des phrases qu'on utilise au quotidien, les expressions et le vocabulaire ainsi que la conjugaison de verbes. Je suis heureuse d'avoir pu retrouver Lisa qui est une personne agréable, impliquée et souriante ! Ce fut un moment fun !

    Could you please check my sentences? Could I improve them somehow?

    1. The access to my computer was denied because I entered a wrong password.
    2. There was a long conversation between my father and mother. (This one is grammatically fine; it's vague but maybe that's intentional?)
    3. My brother is trying to get to the next stage in his game.
    4. My progress is more than exceptional.
    5. His appearance wasn't a surprise.
    6. My brother accidentally dropped his food on the floor.
    7. I went to the library with my friend.
    8. I've had to do the research about dogs for my school homework. ("I have had to..." to me suggests some other level to the sentence, like "I've had to do this because my report on cats got a bad grade." You could instead say "I had to do research..." To me "the" feels optional)
    9. He hasn't eaten meat since he became a vegetarian.
    10. I hope she'll do well on her exam.

    toefl independent essay, day 9

    Could you please correct my essay?
    Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
    Essay
    It is critically important nowadays to live in a place with appropriate conditions and infrastructure according to your needs. Personally, I strongly believe that life in a big city is the best choice for me. I will explore the reasons for this in the following essay.
    First, you can reach different districts of a town in a half an hour using public transport without spending much money on it. In contrast, you always need to have your own car when you live in a village, because it is the only <s>one</s> choice to reach your destination in the absence of public transport. For instance, sometimes I use the subway/underground train to go to my university, which is situated in the suburbs of Moscow. The vast majority of people think that possessing a car is a privilege and luxury, however it is really useful and comfortable to travel by public transport, and to not worry about traffic jams. I can definitely say that riding in the underground saves me an hour a day. This example demonstrates the usefulness of evolved infrastructure in a city.
    Another advantage of living in a big city is the availability of medicine. It is well known that salaries in megalopolises for doctors and nurses is much higher than in a countryside, therefore the best service in<s> a</s> health care can be found in a big city. My personal experience is a compelling example of it. Five years ago, my grandparents decided to move to a small village near Moscow, because of air pollution and a desire to grow their own plants. But the worst nightmare became reality. One day my grandfather woke up with strong headache which later appeared to be a stroke. Calling an ambulance was the first thing they did, but there were no free places in a local hospital. If only they had lived in a city, my grandfather would have been alive and healthy. This example illustrates how the scarcity of medical personnel and hospitals in a small village can destroy someone’s life.
    In conclusion, I believe that life in a big city is much preferable to a small village. This is because of developed infrastructure of public transport and availability of medical help.

    Journal 01 - Lis-je quoi en ce moment? Malgré mes efforts, je suis le sort qui lit beaucoup de livres simultanément -- autour de la maison j'ai un livre de poésie, un roman, et trois livres de développement personnel dont je suis au milieu. Je veux parler d'un de ces derniers, «The Power of Ritual» écrit par Casper ter Kuile. ter Kuile a obtenu un diplôme de Harvard Divinity School, lorsqu'il soit athée, et le sujet de comment les gens se réunirent lui intéresse beaucoup. Hier j'ai lu un chapitre sur les repas ensembles et les possibilités de faire de ça un rituel. Plutôt que dicter de quoi manger comme le religion, on peut dicter avec qui on mange. L'example est: engager quelques amis pour un dîner chaque semaine, et fais un promis parmi tous de venir même si on est fatigué, même si on est fâché l'un contre l'autre. En poursuivant ce petit formalité on cultive un communauté plus proche et plus prêt à «sois là» quand les difficultés se passent. (merci pour votre aide!)

    Harry Potter's gifts (I love Harry Potter :D )

    When Harry Potter was thirteen years old, his friends gave him <s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">the</s> wonderful gifts for his birthday. Ron gave the Pocket Sneakoscope. It was a useful thing, which helped to detect someone untrustworthy. Hermione presented a Broomstick Servicing Kit to Harry. There were a lot of things to care for the broomstick in the kit. The Monster Book of Monsters was given by Hagrid. It was a strange magical book that Harry could use in the lessons at Hogwarts. I think<s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">,</s> Hermione's gift was the best for Harry, because Harry loved to fly on a broomstick. If I could give a present to Harry Potter, I would give him magic glasses that don't break. I think these glasses would be useful to him.

    <em>(In my experience "which" and "that" serve almost the same function. "Which" is usually used after a comma, which separates thoughts within a long sentence. VS "That" is used in sentences that need a little more description")</em>

    Please Correct My Notebook Entry! 060820

    1. Don't pick holes in my project. It's easier to comment than do anything.
    2. All that glitters is not gold. You know it's easier said than done. My mum used to say that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I think you should think long and hard before giving up your job. As you know, the economy is <s style="color: rgb(0, 138, 0);">falling down</s> (not sure here, but maybe struggling) and the unemployment rate is rising terribly day by day.
    3. It's no use grinding your teeth <s style="color: rgb(0, 138, 0);">on me</s>, you should have brought up these matters in the meeting.
    4. The doctors gave me up for dead, but miraculously I recovered from the serious injuries.
    5. I think we took it for granted that she would come to the party.
    6. You have still not made up your mind about pursuing further study.
    7. I decided to sell my bike, but on second thought<s style="color: rgb(0, 138, 0);">s</s> I held off <s>postponed it</s>.
    8. They got on like a house on fire because they were both easy-going and had a good understanding.
    9. He is not my cup of tea.
    10. It would be all in your best interest if you get him involved at this stage.

    Now, I think that I have found <s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">the</s> good resources regarding improving my English language skills. My plan focuses and depends on the well-known four main rules: speaking, writing, reading, and listening.
    I have had a bad habit which is wasting time <s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">on</s> searching for good resources to learn English despite already having good ones. This bad hab<s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">b</s>it is similar to my <s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">an</s>other bad habit (that I have found my self obsessed with for a very long time) which is downloading movies on my laptop -- only to save them more than watch<s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">ing</s> them. I do like movies a lot, but I think that I am fussy about choosing a certain movie. I admit that I am a little bit obsessed about possessing the best materials for things that I'm passionate about. I need to get rid of this habit, because it's kind of avoiding facing myself and asking, Am I progressing in learning English? Sometimes I really feel that I only do that to convince myself that I still haven't gotten <s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">the</s> good enough resources yet.

    <em>(Someone else might say you could keep the "on" after wasting time, or the "the" in the last sentence, but it sounds better to me to take it out. Take care!)</em>

    Who is OSS 177 ?

    OSS 117 is a French movie. It is a parody of the James Bond movies.
    The story is about a French secret agent, Hubert, known as OSS 117.
    Hubert is racist, a little oafish, and misogynistic. The movie contains lots of jokes and plays on words.
    It is a comedy with a lot of French cultural references.

    <em>(I love OSS 117!)</em>

    Diary

    Since entering the summer holiday, I have many relatives visiting with each other. During their visit, they <s>can</s> talk and ask <s>about</s> all kinds of questions about my family and myself. To be honest, I kind of hate this situation, so every family reunion, I just listen to them and eat meals. Recently, I <s>am </s>watched a movie called Wreck-It Ralph, and imitated English lines with emotion. Now, imitating this kind of movie<s>s</s> is very well-suited to me. I find it very useful for me to learn spoken English. And I bought a book, I heard from my friend that it is worth<s>y </s>reading. When I finish reading it, I will share my thoughts if it has good description. I have a little insomnia these days, which means that I get up late in the morning -- I must <s>to</s> adjust this habit as soon as possible.
