👋 Hello B1 learners! Read the story about Marina’s language learning journey. Then answer the question below: "Marina started learning German six months ago. At first, she was very excited. Every day, she listened to German songs, watched videos, and kept a diary in German. She practised speaking with her friends and felt happy when she learnt new words. After a while, Marina began to feel tired. She noticed that speaking was still difficult. Sometimes, she forgot words she had studied before. This made her feel frustrated and a little sad. Marina decided to change her learning plan. She thought, “Maybe I should take more lessons or find a language partner to practise with.” She hoped these changes would help her enjoy learning German again. Marina asked her friends for advice on how to stay motivated when learning is hard. She wanted to keep going and reach her goal of speaking German well."

Is this sentence natural? It’s hard to describe the joy inside me.

My family is a group of people who make me feel safe and comfortable all the time. They are not only caring but also very supportive and kind. However, sometimes they are also annoying and rude. They push me to my limits and make me work a lot in able to reach my goals for the future. We aren’t exactly the “happiest” family in the world but we try to comfort each other and understand each other. And if im being honest, I do think they are unbearable but I can’t hate them entirely because they did so much to me. My sister is like my best friend. She is incredibly funny and smart. My step mom is inspiring and loud. She inspires me to work ever day and makes me laugh when I talk to her. My father is so strong and brave. He raised me to be a hardworking and strong person and I appreciate him so much even in times where I don’t feel like talking to him. I think family’s are so important and represent a huge part of people and we should always appreciate one and another.

Yesterday, I had a part-time job at a crepe shop. When it gets hot, we don’t sell many crepes, so it’s hard. Also, our shop is a kitchen car, so it gets very hot. During my break, I ate a crepe. I made it with only my favorite ingredients. It was very delicious.
