First notebook entry: Introducing myself

Hi there! I am a graduate student in physics from Italy. I speak English at an intermediate (B1) level. I can read eEnglish (I'm used to reading scientific books and papers) but I can't write and speack fluently. I'm looking for someone to talk with to improve my English. I'd love to make new friends and meet someone who wishes to learn Italian (or Pphysics*, perhaps!). I really enjoy travelling and meeting new people, walking in the nature and listening to some music.
Cheers!

*I know you have received conflicting corrections regarding whether to capitalize "physics" or not. The rule is (at least in American writing), capitalize school subjects only when they refer to a name of a class (ex., "Quantum Physics 101") or a language (ex., "I study Italian"). But if you're talking about general subject matter, you don't need to capitalize (ex., "I study physics").

Great job!

Fantastic writing! I only notice two small mistakes. The rest is a matter of copy editing, clarification and opinion (as Paola's notes showed). Many of the sentences could be rewritten for clarity, but in and of themselves they are not wrong.

Excellent job! I had to look up the word "stochastic." You taught me a new word in my own language :).

Physics does the same thing of what modern art does. Its aim is to write down what Nature seems to be but not in an (if you use the word "a" before a noun beginning with a vowel, it becomes "an" -- i.e., "an easy...") easy (ie. clear) and realistic manner, as Canova and Caravaggio did, but in something that looks more complicated and really difficult to grasp. Its few signs describe movements and solid forms on simple sheets of paper. When you read a book on Physics you can understand the essence of the movement as while you're watching a futuristic painting. When you study the geometry of the space-time you can imagine a curved world out of a plain sheet of paper.
Nevertheless, physicists are not soas funny and freaky as artists are! At least thenot most!

It's raining today: where's my umbrella ?

I hate when outside is raining it is raining outside, I feel so sad.
I would like to come back home and stay watching TV with a chocolate into my vintage mug. (Do you mean a piece of chocolate, or hot chocolate/cocoa?) 

How is your day?

xx

Good job! I hope the sun comes out soon :).

A skin too few

Sometimes I need to listen to Nick Drake. It He was a great eEnglish songwriter that who (when referring to a person, use "who," when referring to an object, use "that") composed his music between the 60th60's and 70th70's (When referring to decades, we use " 's " -- 60's, 70's, 1960's, 1970's) before disappearing in the 1974, committing a sort of suicide by taking an overdose of amitriptyline. His music was so deep and pure, it's very far from everything I have heard. 

Today searching among my music collection, I've found this documentary of the Dutch filmmaker Jeroen Berkvens. I decided to watch it again, also to improve my eEnglish, using eEnglish subtitles. I remember that I watched to it the first time during a special event about Nick in my hometown. The film was presented by the producer of Nick (or, "Nick's producer"), Joe Boyd. 

I particulary love this documentary and I find it very touching. The way it was directed is quite unusual, a lot of slow scenes or even still images, with the music - most of the tracks were taken from the raw recordings of Nick (or, "Nick's raw recordings") - that seems is played among the walls of the house of Nick (or, "Nick's house"), and it seems to feel the mood that he probably felt during his life.

If you already know him and you never watched this documentary, just try to watch it here: http://www.viddler.com/v/ddc7dbb4
In the case you don't even know him, I suggest you to discover him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Drake

Here some links of songs that I particulary love:

oh but to be honest I love everything he made!

Excellent writing! I have never heard of Nick Drake. I will have to read about him :)

hHello to this community! I'm here

I'm a gilrgirl born in Italy 29 years ago.

I'm graduated in economy economics (You can also write, "I graduated with a degree in economics")

and iI need to improve eEnglish for different reasons: first of all

(Just a punctuation note: Both a colon ":" and the phrase "first of all" introduce the next portion of the sentence, so you do not need both) iI need to be more fluent when iI speak because of my job, and also because iI like to learn new languages. 

I'm interested in art, drawing, economy, music, sports, travel...
I'm very curious and iI'd like to know more about other places in the world.
So if you'd like to learn the iItalian language and help me with my eEnglish, well iI'm here ready to start!

Great job! Only a few technical errors. :)
