What are the source you use to improve your English? Hello everybody, 

I would like to know from you what are the sources you use in order to know English, pex: which books you read, series to watch, podcasts to listen, etc

Difference between may/might/could + have + past participle & may/might/could + have been + present participle

My city My city is called Granorius (fictioned named) and it is located in the Northen East of Spain. To be more exactly, there are 30 km to Barcelona and it is quite big (it has 80.000 habitants) and it lives from their commerce and their industries even though it still has their own rural zone in its surroundings. It's a lovely place with a busy town and it's also close to some nice countryside.

What option would you choose? If you ever happen to a genius and told you the following: "I am going to give you a wish but, as I have a bad day, I only let you choose between these two options: to speak English or understanding it. What a difficult choice, isn't it?" Once upon a time, this questions was made in a wide group of people as a part of an survey and the result was interesting. 90% choose to speak English and just only a 10% choose to understand it. In other words, we prefer to explain our life to others. We prefer to speak rather than listen although in order to relate well with other people is far better useful to listen rather than to talk. However, the nature is telling us quite clear: we have two ears and a mouth. It must be for something, don't you think?

Use of authors and copyright It is being quite normal nowadays to discuss about the topic of copyright and downloading different material without permission. There are good arguments in both sides but, must downloading be stop once and for all? We must consider first the position of the consumer. Sometimes, you can look for a book you need and find out its price is over-rate. And this could also happen with music and films. People are used to download this material because you can enjoy some things which you would not probably pay for it. In some way, you can start knowing an artist through downloading their material and once, you know how good they are, you may then buy their original material. On the other hand, just because it is so easy to share many different files on the Internet, artist should find new business models which deal with this issue. A good example would be to lower the prices to attract your customers and make them know whether your product is good. Platforms like Spotify and Netflix are a good example of it. In addition to that, you can also post your experiences on social media so you can interact with your fans and know a little bit from them. In conclusion, artist should understand that downloading is here to stay and they have to find new ways of business if they want to get benefits from that. You cannot stop this massive downloading but you can do something in order to make them feel you are interest in their welfare.

Manners I would describe manners as the way how you act in front a different situations and they are so important because they define you as a person. I personally think nowadays there are some people who are losing manners towards others and that is something bad because we should respect everybody just the way they are. In addition, I believe that if you are honest with yourself, no matter how hard life hits you because at the end of the day if you keep working hard, humbly and constantly you can achieve your goals. There no need to attack others in order to success yourself. In the other hand, the best way to teach manners to children is just show them what it is important to you and how you explain it to them with actions, not just words.

My favorite movie I like every kind of movie but I guess the ones which are based in real events are the ones who like me the most. However, everytime someone ask me about my favourite movie the first thing which come to my mind is the Batman trilogy by Christopher Nolan. I really love it, especially the first one, Batman Begings. It is an action film which makes you think a lot once the movie is over. Quotes like "Our acts define us, not our words" or "the night is darknest before the sun rise" are quotes ehich makes me try ti be a better person and try to do what it takes when it comes to make my words true. In addition it also makes me be hopeful and try not to give up even though things become rough for me and it seems that anything doesn't work well

A sunset in August There was something estrange in that sunrise, something out of common, completely extraordinary. He felt it from the colour of the breeze and from the light from the Moon. And also in the brusque shape which the sun penetrated in the skyline and how its lights scattered over the sea. But the lightest warning comes from his own body: he was cold. An unheard and intruder cold. The day, torrid, as a day in August, was dieing leaving as heritage a stifling hot. Even though, the twenty-eight grades, far from leaving him without breath, it made him shook and shivered.
