    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    I want to learn English. I can speak English, but i want to improve (amend only applies to improving things like government documents) my English. I am in the ninth grade at a grammar school in Germany. I want to improve my English, because one day i want to study and live in the USA.
    I am from Germany and i live nearby Hamburg. I want to make friends from North America, especially from the USA. I love the series Pretty Little Liars. Maybe you are a big fan of that series too. Then you can contact me here. I watch it in English, but I don't understand everything. This is a reason too, why I want to improve my English. I want to understand everything that they are talking about. I read the book from Pretty Little Liars, but it's really hard to understand that, because there are so many words I've never had at school. But i look up the words.
    I am a normal teenager from Germany. :) And i am a boy.
    Please contact me, when you are from the USA or love Pretty Little Liars.

     

    Good job! Just some little corrections.  Keep up the good work!

    Yes, you just have to speak with others who are learning English. I am also trying to improve my Italian speaking. I did a search on google and in the US there is a website called Meetup. It is a site for people who are looking for groups they can go to in person and meet people with similar interests. There are many groups like book clubs but I found one that is an English/Italian conversation hour. For one hour you are only allowed to speak English and then for the second hour you are only allowed to speak Italian. It forces me to converse and is very helpful. Maybe there is something like that for you.

    That's a shame! It really depends on the job. I am a teacher and I can retire after 30 years. My father works for UPS and he has to put in 35 years to get his full pension. For union jobs like teaching and truck driving you pay into a pension fund throughout your career so that when you retire you still get a small salary each month.

    It depends on how it is being used in a sentence. In the most basic form, a human means a person.

    You are right but I can see why enrolling sounds correct. The reason why the answer is D "enrollment" is because it is a noun (thing). For me it helps to pick out the key words in each sentence. So, the format of the sentence is: (Enrollment (noun) has (helping verb) tripled (intransitive action verb). This makes it a little easier to see why "enrolling has tripled" doesn't sound quite right because it doesn't sound right to say running (gerund) tripled. I hope that wasn't too confusing. Is this a TOEFL question?

    They are both fine! The second one is seen as more formal and less common.

    Vacanza :) Sono in vacanza al isola di Cape Hatteras. E' bella! Fa bel tempo ma e' un po caldo. Questa mattina ho fatto lo shopping. Ho comprato un cappello di "fedora" e un sweatshirt (hoodie). Allora vado al spiaggia. Ho voluto un lezione di "windsurfing" questa mattina ma non c'era vento. Trovaro domani.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself I am trying to learn Italian. It has been hard for me but it is something I really would like to do. In the United States it is easy to get comfortable speaking just English but I think it is important to be bilingual. I would love to find a tutor or speaking partner.
