Help with grammar and style I've just had my Skype interview, and i got to admit it went better than I expected. The whole process lasted for half an hour. Prior to the interview , I had some doubts about how much I had prepared for the interview. However , it turned out that I was more than prepared. At some point in the interview, the interviewee asked me if I knew anything about the company. Of course my answer was yes. After answering her question, she said to me '' well done! You know quite a lot about us.'' I felt confident after she said that. Overall I believe I did my very best ,and I am hoping I will be shortlisted for the second stage which is a face-to-face interview.

Help with grammar and style I have an interview schedule today for 5:00 pm,and I am nervous. However I am hoping I am able to control my nerves before the interview starts. I am currently healing from a heartbreak , and I believe if I get this job It would help my healing process tremendously. Now that I am single, I want a career where I caninvest all my energy and hopefully succeed at the same time.

The Euro- England vs Russia -My take on it....I Need corrections please I've just finished watching England versus Russia in the Euro-Cup. In my opinion, England played terrific football. After the first 45 minutes,I'd already declared in my head that England was going to win the match,little did I know that the Russians had a game planed. Starting the second half of the 90 minutes match, the Russians began to pick up momentum,and England started to detoriate in areas they did well at in the first 45 minutes. But that momentum by the Russians didn't last long, unfortunately for them. The English snatched momentum from the Russian, and shortly after,Dier, the gifted 22 years old scored the most significant goal that will put the English ahead of their opponent. Just 2 minutes till the end of the game,I said ''This is it,England is surely going to win it.'' In stoppage time, the Russians had a cross from the wing , and by the time the English could settle to defend the cross,it was in the net, and the Russians were on their way celebrating. Poor England, I wish them better luck next game.They did all the right things to win but football is an unpredictable game ,and we saw an evidence of that today.

Since I am trying to improve my writing, I thought why not write down how I am presently feeling. I am currently dealing with the most hurtful breakup I've ever experience in my entire life. I was with my ex for a period of three years,and prior to that I'd never been in a serious relationship. Our relationship was rocky from the get go. I believe this was mainly because I didn't trust women , which is a result of the heartbreak I suffered when my best friend betrayed me and started a relationship with a girl I was causally seeing. I was 18 years old when this incident happened. Eventually, I was able to get over it. Because of the kind of person I am,I forgave my friend and let the past stay in the past.Their relationship carried on for a while but it didn't bother me anymore.They broke up after few weeks. Shortly after I started university,I met my current ex. She changed me as an individual.Because of her,I was doing great in university and this in turn made my mother really proud. I love her so much! Sometimes, I'd look at her and say '' what did I do to deserve you''. Months later things took a turn for the worse.I started taking her for granted. We started fighting every other week. The arguments were endless, and those arguments convert into emotional abuse. Majority of the time I took responsibilities for my actions,she never did. Instead she thought I was the one with the problem in the relationship.At first I was angry, but then I decided to do something about it. I joined a programme for abusers. This helped me a lot. Nevertheless, I thought why is she not in a programme too? However, I'd say to myself ''focus on yourself ''. I was in the programme for months while studying and working. Things were better for sometime but the programme was closed because of some funding issues. weeks later,I joined another programme. Anyways, cut a long story short, few weeks ago ,she wanted to leave me because our arguments never stopped,they just got better. I begged and said I will do something about it. She stayed.Weeks after, I picked up a serious knee injury from football.She was worried.She'd wake up in the middle of the night and say '' are you ok?''. I found this bizarre because she was being overly nice. strange right?I know. One morning, she woke up and mistakenly pushed my injured leg.I woke up angry and asked her ''why did you do that for'' She was defensive.The next day she did it again,I woke up and raised my voice at her. After a week of not speaking, I eventually ask if we could talk about it .she said no, and said ''we are done''.

My day: Open to corrections and criticisms Today has been one of those days one struggle to put into words. In other words, today has been not only good,but stressful at the same time. Normally, when things go wrong, I tend to stress and overthink,and this result in me escalating the situation more than what it actually is. However, I have learned that stressing and overthinking doesn't particular solve a problem, but instead makes them worse. These days, when things go wrong,I'd rather write them down as I am doing now,than overthinking and stressing. In order to cope with my problems when things go wrong , I'd say to myself '' you're not the only one who is going through it,millions of other are experiencing the same thing''. This coping mechanism hasn't only help minimise my stress, but also help me see things from different perspectives. Writing is such an important tool that we overlook sometimes. When we write our feelings down, we are able to think,analyse and see where things went wrong. Ironically, I have only just realised that now whilst writing this note. My aim is to be able to write coherently without any grammatical errors. I'm confident that with the help of individuals in this group, I will be able to achieve this one day. Regards, Kai Steve

Written English My name is Kai Steve and I am 22 years old.I am originally from a little country in the western part of Africa called,Sierra Leone. I currently reside in London where I work and study. I joined this forum mainly because I'd like to improve both my written and oral English. My oral English isn't that bad as native English speakers tend to understand me clearly. My written English in contrast, isn't as great as I would like it to be, as I tend to make little grammatical errors such as: miss use of punctuations and spellings. Furthermore, I am aware that in today's society,especially in the west, having a poor written language can affect your chances of getting a good job, or simply being able to express your self to others. For this reason, I have decided to join this forum so native speakers, or others who are well educated will be able to point out my mistakes,critise and give correction. Regards Kai
