I would be happy if somebody could correct my text, please? I have seen a lot of films but only two have won my heart. The first is called “Forrest Gump". It's a movie about a man who has interesting lives and I've watched it a thousand times, over and over. The second is "1+1 Intouchables", it's a movie about two men who have different lives, but take time to help each other. I hope my corrections help you 🤓

A few years ago I met a friend whose profession was photography. We met whilst participating in the production of a music video clip. He was the photographer and I operated a drone to take the aerial shots. From that encounter, I became interested in taking pictures and photography is now my hobby. I'm pleased to say that before lockdown, I worked for a year as a photographer for the Marriott Hotel.

I recently watched a video called "How to acquire any language, NOT learn it", and it got me really excited!🇬🇧 First of all, I have to point out that I've already encountered this particular method before but never actually dove deeper into it. The idea is quite simple, instead of learning tons of grammar rules and different constructions, you have to start immersing yourself into the language, which means your speaking and listening skills become your main priority. Then by taking one step at a time, you'll acquire all the knowledge to start reading and writing in your target language. By using this method (you don't really need any aptitude or development skills), you'll be able to become fluent in a coveted language within a year (obviously it depends on how hard the language is in general). There have been been a lot of thoughts running through my mind since I've been learning English, and now I have finally realised how truly important this amazing strategy is, not only does it allow you to become fluent fast, but it's also such a terrific opportunity to expand your knowledge and experience new techniques that you've never tried before. However, I think it all depends on your diligence and willingness to devote your time to a language! It is also important to build up a solid vocabulary and grammar base to accelerate the process of learning. Maybe, I will write a whole post about this method in future explaining my thoughts on it.

Christmas is a very important time for my boyfriend. Before I met him, I wasn’t that enthusiastic in celebrating Christmas but over the last year or so I have started to celebrate Christmas with him and his family. His family’s tradition is to start cooking on Christmas Eve morning and then we, as a family, eat well for the rest of the week. My boyfriend’s Grandma usually makes Agnolotti, which is a type of pasta with rice vegetables and meat. It's delicious!

I want to learn English to enable me to speak with people from all over the world. Studying English will also help to pass the time during Lockdown.

Time Travel of Chinese History I'm aware that China has a five thousand year history, but it's not possible to remember every piece of history. During the Ming Dynasty, some 800 years ago, the Emperor signed an edict for He Zheng, an explorer and navigator, to complete seven voyages across the Indian Ocean and the Southeast Asia archipelago. The Ming Dynasty’s main aim was political, which was surprising given that the troops already carried guns like muskets. China did not seek to expand its territories like Europe and North America. Whereas 200 years ago during the Qing Dynasty, the import of opium from Europe into China increased as the demand for it rose rapidly. China was in trouble and dependent on this drug. This resulted in the First Opium War The Qing succumbed and then a series of wars involving Germany, Japan, Russia, Britain, France, The USA and Italy took place. The Qing Dynasty suffered a lot of deaths during that period. About 80 years ago, during the Second World War, Japan invaded China and we all know the current state of affairs now. Peace belongs to people all over the world. Nowadays, teenagers use TikTok and are not interested in China’s history? I have TikTok but I choose to pursue wealth and other things instead, but I'm still aware of my country’s rich history.

You would say it like this: ”Out of [insert number of students] he is the best one *that* studies abroad. I hope that helps you 🤓

* I am. There is no apostrophe because there are no letters missing. If you wanted to abbreviate ”I am” then it would be written as I’m. The apostrophe (’ )replaces the missing letter a. *I’m a = abbreviation of ”I am” a *born and bred* not bread as this is food as in a slice of bread. a native speaker, not an native speaker. I hope this helps you. 🤓
