Great work :) Keep it up

A simple text to practice my english

Hello to who is reading this!

I am learning some new regular verbs and I will use these verbs in a simple text (<s>that I will create </s> <em>this isn't needed)</em>.

In 2010, I went<s> </s><s>to</s> on a trip in a city called Manaus. This city is <s>localized</s> found/located (<em>this doesn't really make sense here) </em> in the north of Brazil and it has a large amazonic <s>florest</s> forest. I<s> lieved</s> lived in the midwest of brazil so I would<s> to </s>take the airplane to go to Manaus because it was so far away. I <s>wake</s> woke up at 3am to go to the airport and the flight time was 6am. A day before I borrowed the suitcase of my friend because his suitcase is larger <s>more</s> then mine and he borrowed <s>me </s>mine.

I arrived at the airport and I was carrying a big suitcase and a coffee. I was nervous because I had a fear <s>to</s> of flying but I breathed, I buried my fears and I went in the direction of the airplane. My face was red because I was <s>with </s>very <s>fear </s> scared when I <s>get</s> got on the airplane and when I sat on the seat I begged to God to bless that airplane <s>to it don'</s>t so it wouldn't fall. I was sat in the first <s>airplane </s>row of seats but I didn't sit <s>nerby of the </s>near to the window <s>to</s> so I <s>don't</s> wouldn't be able to look down. On my flight I <s>arranged</s> spoke with a friend and he told me that he <s>was</s> had been living in Manuas for 4 years and he also told me to I have to go to Ponta Negra Beach because it was an amazing <s>local </s>location with a beautiful landscape.

I liked <s>to go</s> going to Manaus and I enjoyed myself so much!

A note on the verbs

"to create" was used fine here - "to create a text"

"to localise" is used like "the pain was localised in his arm" or "we have a localised news program". We wouldn't use it for a city's location - "to locate" is better

"to arrange" is to make a plan or put something in place so "he arranged the flowers" or "she arranged to meet up with Micheal on Friday".

Great text though - Hope the learning goes well :)

Please correct my sentences

I dug up a field with my students<em> </em>by my school, because grasses grow <s>ers</s> up in spring. Yesterday it was good weather so I felt comfortable to do.

If you put plants/grasses in the ground - try "planted a field" or "planted a garden" instead of "I dug up a field".

This was great though - hope I helped :)

My first motivation letter

Motivation letter

Application for studying in summer school “Runoff predictions in ungauged basins”

I was educated at two universities in Russia. But I have never studied in other countries before. In our country, it is not customary to write motivational letters. This is my first motivation letter. In addition to my CV provided, I would like to take this opportunity to write a motivation letter to clarify <s>my </s>the main reason <s>that drives me </s> I am driven to study in your summer school.

Some time ago, a colleague of mine gave me a leaflet with program for your summer school. She said, "this is absolutely for you". I didn't believe her until I read the program. I was so interested that I found and read the book “Runoff prediction in ungauged basins: synthesis across processes, places and scales”. This was very helpful, but I have still a lot of questions and want to find answers for <s>it</s> them.

Even at secondary school I <s>began to be</s> was interested by physical geography, so I chose to go to a University where they taught natural sciences. While I was studying at <s>the</s> University, I became interested in meteorology. My graduate<s>d</s> work was about the influence of Onega lake on the climate of the adjacent territories. After graduating from University I worked for a while in a field that was not related to science. At that time, I realized that I could not be indifferent to modern research in the field of natural science and I must <s>to be the </s> be a scientist. <s>And then I </s> I then went on to postgraduate school.

My postgraduate education guided my scientific interests to the field of hydrology. Since 2016 I have been working in the laboratory of Oceanography and radioecology of the Murmansk marine biological Institute. My research is related to the impact of river runoff on the seas. In my work I often encounter a lack of data <s>of</s> about the small rivers' runoff. In this regard I began to wonder what methods of runoff reconstruction and runoff prediction<s> are </s>exist. <s>That </s>This is why I need to learn methods of estimating runoff characteristics in the absence of local runoff observations in the upcoming summer school.

<s>Now</s> I am now studying the rivers in the Kara sea basin. In these Northern territories, it is very difficult to<s> keep</s> regularly observe river runoff. Therefore, I face a lack of data on the runoff characteristics of rivers in the region. I hope I will have the opportunity to take part in the summer school and after my return I will be able to use my new knowledge.

This is great. I hope the corrections hope and you are able to study :)

How to learn foreign languages

1) At first you should learn pronouncuation (it's difficult, but very important).

2) Then you can start to learn words.

3) After that you can try to read <s>little </s>short stories and start to learn grammar.

4) You should remember : "practice makes perfect". You need practice a new language every day : listen to podcasts, write short stories, <s>and </s>improve your vocabulary, and read<s>ing</s> books. Also you can try to talk with native speakers : you don't need <s>arrive to </s>to go abroad for it. All you need <s>are </s>is motivation and the Internet.

That's all what I wanted to say 😊. Good luck! 🍀

Good luck to you too! Hope the corrections help you :)
