Please; What is wrong in these sentences? Is it correct to say "the height of the ships"? Or should it be "ships' height"? Is it correct to say "We also don't know"? Is it correct: "Transport all the kind of cargo over the strait, from one marked zone to the other"? Or should I say: to the other one? to another one? THANK YOU!

A really busy girl. I need days with 26 hours (or more), and not just 24. I must go to the university from Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 1pm. Well... it is what is said, but that's not the truth. I mean, I must go to university LESSONS from Monday to Friday, and from 9am to 1pm. But, after lessons, I usually have to stay there to 9pm. It is due because I must do a lot of practises in labs, or in computer rooms. Or simply because I have to go to a meeting with some teachers, with the degree headmaster or with the members of one association which I am. At this time, I have to do other activities as well. On Mondays, I go to the Official Languages School during two hours in order to improve my English, and on Tuesdays, I go to teach Maths to a girl at her home. I always have a good time with my mates in this association (whose name is BEST (Boarding European Students of Technology)). They are so friendly and I have a lot of fun every day I am with them. But besides having fun, we all are students of engineering and we do events related with the technology. Now, we are planning a competition in my university. There are two parts in it. In the first one, we ask the participants to do a machine or device with a specify function, and we provide them the materials which they need. In the second one, we propose a topic that is typical in engineering business, for example, how to do a power plant, with some alternatives proposals and budget, and the participants have to think about it. We must work hard until the competition days, but I'm sure we will have good results and it will be great. I think that's worthwhile to make the effort. I am the Office Responsible as well, and I am so happy about it. I love to do all these things, but I want to do more! Because I like being an active person and not being someone who is too boring and lazy. So, please, could you give me a couple of hours more every day? Thanks :)

HELP, PLEASE! Hello! I study Industrial Technologies Engineering and I need to do an exercise for the University. I must invent a topic in order to my classmates answer the questions I do for them about the topic. I need you to review the questions, and say to me how I must to write them. The topic is: You must plan building including finances, where should metro go (you can have more stations if you think that would be better), plan for returning investment, and how you can make it secret. 1. You must estimate how many people get on Metro (it depends on what time in a day) in order to calculate how many trains you need, and how many Metro Stations you should build. 2. How much should the ticket cost if you want to recoup the 10 per cent of your total investment in the first 3 months? (You need to considerate if you want to determine a prize, or if it is going to depend on how many stations the trip has). Thank you for your help :) Regards!

The only bad thing is that life is too short. I want to tell you some words which you need to know about the life. The things change while the time continues. And people also change. Appearances can be deceiving. You regret what you did, but what you regret the most is what you didn't even though you wanted to do it, so you missed the chance. The chances increase if you don't waste them. If you are in a hurry, you will be late. Never say never. Cigarettes can kill you, but, regrettably, that's not the only thing which does it. You can't come back in the time. But you can think about your past, about your memories. Meeting new people is great. But don't forget keeping in touch with your old friends! You don't realize what you have until you lose it. Bad people aren't so bad, and sometimes, the good ones are not the best. Being alone is better than being accompanied by the wrong person. People who make mistakes are not perfect. But someone who corrects his own mistakes is a wise. The misfortunes never go alone. However, even the bad weather, you should have a smile in your face. The smallest things are the most important ones. In your life, you will meet a lot of people; but you decide who is going to stay with you forever. People who really love you, won't make you cry. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Books are better than films. Words are not always necessary. Living in a group is the best way of life. Brave people also cry and don't feel embarrased about it. Everyone deserves a second chance. But the second parts were never good. You can count your best friends with your fingers in one hand. To silly words, deaf ears. If you fall down, you gotta get up and try it again. Celebrate every goal you get, even though you believe it isn't important enough. Who is scared of failling, never gets his aims. "Unlikely" is better than "impossible"; and "late" is better than "never". If you have an opportunity to do something, it's worth to do it. Time runs without batteries. So, you must enjoy every second. Spend all the time you can with people who you love. The most blind person is who doesn't want to see. People forgive, but they don't forget. Enjoy every second in your like if it was the last second in it. If you want to do something, you can do it, indeed. And if you don't try it, you will never get it. Don't forget that life is too short to worry about stupid things. So, try to take the most of whatever you do, and, enjoy doing it. If we can dream about something, we would be able to get i

Aim: Improving my English. Hello! I'm Cristina, but I prefer that people call me "Cris", since I like it more. This is the first time I'm going to write an entry in my notebook, because I've just registered in this site. So I'm going to introduce me. I'm 20 and I'm from Madrid. I study Industrial Technologies Engineering at Carlos III University, in Madrid. Even though I'm in my third year, I know this is what I want to do to earn a living. I like my degree, specially some courses like Materials or Energies. I'm one of the few women at Engineering, which is a rather unusual thing in Spain, where women engineers stand out by their absence. About my hobbies, I love reading books and listening to music. My favourite singer is Coldplay, and the song I like the most is "Viva la Vida". Other singers I like so much are Mika, Bruno Mars... I like going out with my friends and having fun! I like cooking, walking in the parks, the nature and the photography. I mean, my hobbies are the typical ones. The person who I love the most is my little sister. I'd like to improve my English, because I know I need it for my job, for my future, and, well,... for my life, since this language is really important nowadays. I've been studying English since I was three, and I know, you are thinking: How crazy is it? Has she been learning English for seventeen years and can't she speak it fluently? Regrettably, I can't. Here in Spain, the English level in schools and high schools is very low. Grammar, vocabulary and use of English is more or less good, but the Speaking and Listening is almost null. So, this is the reason why I'm trying to improve my English. And the first thing I need to improve (in order to improve my speech as well) is my wroten English. I know I will have to go abroad to improve my spoken English (and I want to do it), but, firstly, I'd like to finish my degree at my University, and I have this year and the next one left; (my degree lasts 4 years). But I hope to be abroad two years later. I think I will be a little sad at the beginning of this experience, because I will have to change my life, to move to another country, to say goodbye to my friends and relatives, and to start a new and independent life. But I'm sure it will be a great experience, and I'm looking forward to do it. So, to sum up, I'd like to improve my English and to go abroad. This is what I need. This is what I want. This is what I'll do. Regards, Cris :)
