Part 2 -

Crummy {I would appreciate an example of this word}

# Crummy ... hahaha, I would advise not using this word. It means something that is not very good.

Today early at school, I was playing soccer when a teamplayer hit my nose and caused me a (hemorrhage)

# Yes, well understood ...however, this is a sophisticated word and the word hemorrhage is not perfect here. This is a specific medical term. Better to use it in a serious context such as "The medical report prepared by the doctor indicated a serious hemorrhage". Your usage above would be better to use the word "bloody nose" etcetera. Use this word when your audience is a doctor.

Listlees {I would appreciate an example of this word}

# Do you mean listless? hahaha where are you getting these fabulous words? "My brother ate so much ice cream. When I asked him if he wanted to go swimming, he burped and said 'please no'. I looked at him and he seemed listless, lethargic, and lazy."

Concoct {I would appreciate an example of this word}

#I will concoct for you a delicious alcholic drink. This is a 'fancy' word and not used often unless you are joking with your friends about 'concocting' a cocktail, or a 'fragrance' etcetera.

My cousin chose to study (psychiatry) insted of engineering.

# Perfecto. Just a spelling note. spelling is 'instead'. Great usage.

Last week I got the flu and the doctor (prescribed) me an (analgesic).

# Excellent!

The president was (exiled) because of his betrayal.

# Very good. Great!

Great work internet stranger. I applaud anyone that is attempting to increase their vocabularly. You did a nice job Monz!

Part 1:

Hi Monz,

I am bored so I thought I would help you out. Great work on practicing your English and practicing your vocabulary. Good vocabulary shows a good education and a sophisticated character.

My comments followed by # (hash)

#Let's go!

I (confessed) my sister I took her skirt

# Good! But better to say: "I confessed -to- my sister I took her skirt"

Today I got (affiliated) to Sam's Club

#Understood! But better to say "Today I got affiliated with Sam's Club". This sounds like American English. It is perfectly fine. In my opinion, North Americans use 'got' far too much, and I would avoid using this word as it is not very sophisticated. Especially since you are putting in effort to use such wonderful vocabulary. I would suggest using International style English, where we would say "Today I registered as a member with Sam's club". The word 'affiliated' is a more formal word and is not used for retail membership. Affiliated is better used in reference to political clubs, or social movements. For example, 'Today I joined the Conservative party. You can now say that I am affiliated with a political party!"

It was a party with a (juvenile) dress code

# Great! Makes sense and I can understand. However, the word 'juvenile' is used more formally in English, and more often when governments refer to younger persons. For example: "The young man was sentenced to attend juvenile prison". In your example it would be more appropriate to say "It was a party with a (neat casual or young persons) dress code".

I have to do my (compesation) of my bills

# Errr. Ok, I think you mean 'computation' which means 'figuring out' or 'calculation'. It looks like a spelling mistake as 'compesation' is not an English word. If you meant to use the word 'compensation' then that is incorrect. Does that make sense?

I went grocery shopping and I bought several apples. They cost 1 USD (apiece)

# Perfect English.

A new law against the abort was (legitamazed) in Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

#Ok, I can understand but this is not ideal. The correct spelling is 'legitimised' or 'legitimized'. That is a great sentence and makes sense. I would also correct, the better way of saying this is: A new law against abortion was (legitimized) in Nuevo Leon, Mexico.

(Curiosity) is one of the skills which is developed during childhood.

#Excellent. Well done.

The patient got sicker beacause of the (negligent) nursy

#Hahaha, ok, very good but not yet perfect. The word used is appropriate. However, two corrections. (1) 'sicker' is not good English. Say 'more sick', or 'more ill'. (2) nursy is not a word. Use 'nurse'

After I quit my job I felt (qualm)

# qualms ... with an s. This is a difficult word to use. I understand and encourage you to use it because English is a rich language. When you have 'qualms' about something, it means you have doubt, or concerns, or worries. It would be better to say "I have qualms about quitting my job" ... It is usually better to use 'qualms' with the word 'about', as in 'I had qualms about it'. These words are often used together. So, "I had qualms about quitting my job". This word 'qualms' is not often used. Better to say 'concerns'.

Fatal {I would appreciate an example of this word}

#Wow. This is a serious word. It means when a person had something happen to them, and it resulted in death. "We heard on the radio about the fatal car accident near the town square. One person died at the scene."

Last night I went to a friends party. Everybody got drunk, but me. I was (sober) all time.

#Hmm. This is hard going. Haha, why did I start correcting this! Ok, very good. Slight adjustment:"Last night I went to a friends party. Everybody got drunk, but me. I was (sober) for all of the time."

...

see correction...
