I think it would be "I am going to swim in the ocean" (or "sea"). "gonna" is slang for "going to" and while not everyone likes it, it might sound alright around friends of the same age (less likely to care about "correct" language!). But you wouldn't "have a bath" in the ocean, and you wouldn't do it "on" the ocean (on means at the surface, like a boat).

I have a summaized summarized a part of a book, plz please correct it.

David went to see the lawyer Mr Rankeillor, he said told him all of his adventures to that lawyer and heard what had happened between his father and his uncle, then they decided to go towards shaws the Shaws house, at there the his uncle accepted that shaws the house belonges belonged to David, so he agreed to pay him money to David every year.

 

 

Hi Omid,

I moved a few things around, such as the description of Mr Rankeillor, as it didn't sound right to say his name, and then later refer to him as "that lawyer".

When I first read it, I didn't even realise that Rankeillor was the lawyer you were talking about, but I used google and found the book you are reading!

(Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson).

 

"shaws", until finding the book, I wasn't sure how to change this.

if "Shaw" is a person, then Shaw's would be how you talk about ownership/

if "Shaws" is a person, you would write it like Shaws' (The name already ends with an "s", so you put the apostrophe after).

 

In this case however it is "The house of Shaws", which is similar to "The House of Windsor" (in the UK).

I'm not sure how to better describe it, it is not used often in modern English.

 

I hope that helps, please let me know if you want me to explain something better :)

 

 

Is this text grammatically ok? thanks in advance

As you know, spoken language and and written language are from two different worlds and it's it is usually hard for us to convert (transform) one of them from one to another one the other ( or them to each other). I have advice for you give you an advice , watch "The English Language Series" and as far best as you can , take notes of them and always review them. In t This way, your daily conversation will get better. To be honest to with you, I myself should do this too. :D

 

Nice job :)

My suggestions:

When you are refering to the title of something, like a movie, a book, etc, it can make it easier to read if you put it in quotes.

Like: I just watched "The English Language Series" and enjoyed it.

The quotes help the reader know when the name starts and ends, so the rest of the sentence doesn't get confused with the name.

 

This sentence:

"your daily conversation will get better."

might sound better like this:

"your daily conversations will improve"

 

"get better" is the same as "improve", but sounds better in this context (one word to express the same concept as two).

 

This one:

"To be honest to you", I changed to "To be honest with you".

"To" is aimed at someone, but when you are "sharing" something (in a personal tone), you are sharing it "with" the other person.

I hope that makes sense, I don't know how to put it better.

 

Let me know if you would like me to explain any other corrections I made that you are unsure of :)

Introducing myself

Hello,

I am Quique, a Spanish student who was recently living in Manchester in the UK, during for 6 months recently and I got the FCE of Cambridge. Now that I´m back again in Spain again I would like to practise my S speaking and other some more aspects of English so that I can to face the CAE in the next few months because I think it will open many doors in terms of work. Also I would also like to (why not) make new friends from other countries. another country.

My native languages are Spanish and Catalan because I grew up in the east side of Spain, Villarreal, Castellón.

I enjoy watching sitcoms, or series and movies or and listening to rock music.

Thanks for reading my testament lol

 

Good work :)

I'm not sure if "testament" is the right word here, it is a bit too strong.

It is usually used in terms of a will (Last will and testament), or in biblical terms.

 

I'm having trouble suggesting a good alternative though.

It is clear you want to say more than "Thanks for reading my post", but are you trying to say something like "thanks for reading my long post"?

If so, you could say "Thanks for reading my long-winded post!".

 

If you wanted to say something about the post being personal / all about yourself, you might say "Thanks for reading my self-indulgent post", but I don't think that fits here either.

 

Sorry I can't be of more help there :)

 

At the airport!

I'm at the airport right now... waiting for my flight to Sao Paulo .. fortunately there are is free wifi free here. I'm so sleepy and bored boring... I'm downloading some books and music. I don't know what else to do here =(

 

"boring" is what someone / something is (That movie was boring!)

"bored" is the state you are in (I was bored through the entire movie)
