First notebook entry: Introducing myself
I am learning English because it is necessary for my career. I am student of finance and it is so important to be proficient in English. I understand everything I hear in English, but my problem is that I never practice. I forget what I have learned very quickly. This is a great opportunity to improve my English and develop my skills.

I'm very busy these days. Every morning I prepare a green smoothie. I usually use a banana, an orange, grapes, and spinach or turnip leaves. I like to drink it when I'm on a break from work. This is simple way to save time and stay healthy. Sometimes I will consome alot of this smoothie because it's my favorite and so delicious. What is your favorite meal?
0 votedFebruary 12, 20131IELTS task 1. "Top Ten Countries in the London Olympic Games". Are there any mistakes?
The table shows the top ten countries in the London Olympic Games in 2012 based on the their proportion of medals.
Among the ten countries listed, the United States won the greatest number of medals with 104 in total. China and Great Britain ranked second and third, winning 88 and 65 medals respectively. Although Russian athletes won more medals than their British counterparts, Russia placed after Great Britain because it was short 5 gold medals.
Furthermore, South Korea maintained a middle position placing fifth, with 13 gold medals and 28 total. Germany and France followed South Korea, winning 44 and 34 total medals respectively and tieing in the number of gold medals. Similarly, Italy and Hungry both won 8 gold medals, although Italy won roughly 11 more medals than Hungry. Australia was at the bottom of table, winning just 7 gold medals and only 35 in total.
In conclusion, while some counties won more medals altogether, they ranked lower because countries were ranked based on the proportion of gold medals they won at the Olympic Games.Nevertheless, overall,.... is incorrect grammar. Only use one transition word!
Try not to use medals more than once in a single sentence.
I changed alot of this because it was confusing. I could understand it, but it sounded awkward.

1. I’m sick. I have a bad cough, and I constantly sneeze. Maybe, you have a virus.
2. I have a sore finger. I think, I should go to doctor.
3. When the doctor measured my blood pressure, he forbade forbid (prohibited) me to work on the computer for week.
4. After that, I worked in the garden yesterday, and now I have a backache. Moreover, I have rheumatis, and the pain in legs is so intolerable!
5. I have a running runny (running is rarely used) nose. They say that if you take medicine (medication), it will pass in two weeks, but if you don’t take any it can take up to fourteen days.
6. You shouldn’t go in the hospital every day. I’m sure, that your niece will get better soon. She didn't have a heart attack. She only had the chickenpox.
7. If you eat well, excercise regularly, and spend a lot of time outdoors, you can avoid infectious diseases, such as mumps, measles, and scarlet fever.
8. Don’t read in the darkness, otherwise you can (this is a conditional statment) get a sore eyes. I am already ill, I have a splitting headache, and I feel feverish. Then put the book down and drink hot tea.
9. Last week my husband returned to work early. He had a sore throat and an earache. In the evening, he had a fever and I needed to call to doctor. It was a quinsy.
10. If I had a wand, I would heal all people with severe diseases, particularly those with ulcers, diabetes, cancer, and AIDS. I think that modern medicine can help many to cope with these diseases. The main rule is that in such cases you need sufficient time to begin treatment.Be careful with your use of commas in general. You used far too many. You should search the web for the rules for using an oxford comma. Also commas are placed directly after a word. You do no skip a space. For example:
The house was painted black, green, and yellow.(YES)
The house was painted black , green , and yellow. (NO)
0 votedFebruary 11, 20130- Desemprego Eu detesto ter que se candidatar as empregos para uma razão. A mercado de trabalho e terrível. Algumas empresas recebem milhares de aplicações para apenas uma vaga de emprego e por isso se sente ser um desperdício. A seleção usa software para avaliar os currículos. É difícil ter uma boa atitude quando as probabilidades estão contra mim. Normalmente, esta é a situação: "Estamos procurando alguém que fala cinco línguas e tem mestrados em engenharia, finanças, ciência da computação e economia. Basicamente, se você não reinventar a roda, não queremos você. Tchau e desejamos a você a melhor sorte em sua busca de trabalho." Que porra e isso? Eu me formei em relações internacionais e eu só falo três línguas. Eu pensei que Washington seria um bom lugar para encontrar um emprego nesta área, mas, aparentemente, eu estou errado. Meus desvantagens 1)Empregos públicos requerem autorizações de segurança, que são muito difíceis de adquirir. 2)Eu não tenho dinheiro para se mudar para uma nova cidade como Nova York ou Chicago. 3) Todos em Washington tem mestrados. 4) Eu não sou um veterano. Tomara que eu encontrar algo em breve. Minha universidade era muito caro e eu tenho muitos empréstimos que eu preciso para começar a pagar para cobrir o custo da minha ensino. A paciência é uma virtude.February 7, 201360
- This is funny, but I definitely see why you asked the question. It really depends on context. Generally the phrase is sexual if if includes a specific person. For example, Johnny was messing around with Suzie at the party last night. However this isn't always the case. "They messed around after everyone left" The sexual connotation usually implies that they were messing around (with each other) Messing around can be interpreted as bad behavior in other contexts. "Stop messing around with me" Dude, I'm just messing around with you, don't be so serious. They were messing around with the dogs, when they should have been doing their homework.0 votedOctober 18, 20121
