the causative
Hi
I am studying that we use the causative when somebody does something for us, e.g. "I'm going to have my room cleaned".
But, the sentence "we are going to have my house painted" was tranlated "vamos a pintar la casa". You can find this sentence in "2000 bilingual phrases".
Could you tell me if there is some mistake?
Thank you
P.s.: sorry, I am Spanish and I do a quite a lot of mistakes

Difference between although and even though
What is the difference between "although" and "even though?
I know that "even thought" is stronger than "although", it is more emphatic, but I can reconigze this use when I am talking with other people. Also, I know that "even thought" is used when the condition is negative, but the result is positive, but I have a lof of doubts when I do exercises, for example: "even though it was snowing, they went out to look for him".
Thank you

One day,..., I was Jack the Ripper.
This is an exercise that I did last year in my classroom...
"Today is Valentin's day, so I'm going to talk about LOVE, love that I felt for each women that I met,..., love that was never unrequited.
...but, first, I'm going to introduce myself...my name is....Jack The Ripper....
I lived near Whitechapel a districh within East London, England, in the dirty London Borought of Tower Hamlets. I lived in a small house, with a kitchen and a bedroom. In the wall, there was a picture, wich was a Dorian's present...
At midnight, I left my bedroom, and I went to Whitechapel searching places, dark evil places where people could get love for money. I still remembered the name of the worehouse: "Deep throat".
"Deep throat" was an old, dirty place, as dirty as me. Mary Ann Nichols worked there. I was watching a long time. I loved Mary Ann, so a night I waited her at the wore house's door. I approached and I bought her a drink in my house. I seized her by the waist and we started walking...
In Buck's Row, I told her "I love you". First, she looked at me surprised. Afther, she started to laugh out loud. At first, I was ashamed. Afterwards, I felt hurt, very hurt. I felt terrible inside. Then, I started yo be angry, very angry, furious, and I started to detest her. If you'd been there, if you'd heard it, you would have felt the same.
Suddenly, I pulled out a long, thin knife with a serrated edge. She saw me. Her eyes were wide. What are you doing? - she said-. I held my breath. My face tight with tension. She stood to look at me as if I was some kind of monster. I smiled. Then, I don't know how it happened, but I ran my knife into her throat, it ran my knife into er throat ten times. A few minutes later, I made an abdominal mutilation. I felt her blood running down my hands. I was heady, horny,..., but when she bled to death, I felt sad, alone, despicable. Afterwards, I was afraid. Could anyone have seen me?..
I took a deep breath, I grabbed her body and I dragged it towards a dark alleyway. Then, I went home. I was Friday 31 August 1888.
On Saturday, 8 September 1888, I killed Annie Chapman. In this case, I took away the uterus. Twenty-two days later, I killed Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes. On Friday 9 November 1888, I killed Mary Jane Kelly.
Every one of these murders, gave me a sensation of pleasure, but, a day I started to get bored and I didn't feel any arousal. Also Scotland Yard was investigating, so I took a decision: first, I would go to America..

A good day
Two days ago, I found a movile phone...a good movil phone...A friend said me: "Good lucky!!! Now you have a new movile or you can sold it and you can get some money. It is the most useful..." but, it wasn't mine...so, I decided to research and I could find the owner. When I talk with her, she said me that she had a lot of photos in her mobile phone, and these photos were very important in her life (photos of her children, mainly). She was very happy. At the end, I met her and I gave it. She gave me a bottle of wine, two kisses and a hug.
That day was a good day!!!
