Be proud of yourself Hi there ! I didn't write anything here since few years (quite long right?), but now, I have got some free time back so here I am. I'm still searching what to say but I think I'm going on a "motivational message", at least I'll give it a try. I hope it will be understanding after years with no English writing practise. Whoever you are, you have known a bad period in your life. Maybe you are sad now but you need to remember that you don't have to. You need to be proud of yourself because you have gone through things before and you will pass through things after. Everyone knows that everything can happen, of any kind. Think 2 seconds about your worst day, or your worst month. It was bad right ? Awful ? Now think about your best moment in your life ! A wedding ? A birth ? A victory on a video game ? Maybe you helped someone very hard once ? It makes you feel better right ? Now, please, in every bad moments of your life, think as much as you can about how you were brave in the past, how you will be brave again in the future and how many times you will have good moments again. To conclude, just be proud of yourself :)

How do you deal with people who make mistakes ?

I know that's normal to making mistakes but how do you deal with them when they do some in their own mother tongue?

I apologize in advance for the mistakes I've made but I'm still learning. If I were an english person who correct entries and answer question here with mistakes, how would you react?

I think this kind of discussion isn't new but I didn't see it unfortunately. And I know we aren't robot, and human beings do mistakes, but some shocked me.

Go on / Go ahead Can you explain the difference(s) between "go on" and "go ahead" please? In my mind, the meaning is the same but I'm pretty sure that I'm wrong and there is something different. Also, could you give me an example for each one which would allow me to have a context to know how I can use them? Thanks in advance and hope you're having a good day.

What is home for the protagonist, Chris Kyle, in American Sniper? Home is something really strange for Chris in the movie. A part of him stays in Iraq because he is fighting for his country against the terrorism but the other part is his "theorical" home : he is a father and has his family in the house. Therefor, he probably thinks his home is in America, where his own family lives. But we can deduce easily that it is harder than that in his mind. There is the scene when he is in front of the TV, he is with his family but his mind is in the war, with the other soldiers, who are his second family (maybe the first one?). Moreover, he takes a lot of risks for his country, he can die whenever when [I searched "alors que" here and found "when" but it seems strange to me] with his family, it could be so stressless for him without any danger. We can add that he knows about that thanks to his wife, Taya. She is against his job since the beginning (she didn't want to get married to a soldier when they met each other for the first time) and she argues with him because of that. She is worried for him but she also doesn't want their son be without his father. To put it in a nutshell, Chris Kyle has probably two "home" but he can't do the difference by himself because he doesn't see how he is with his families, the soldiers and his wife and son.

Meaning / using of "such" Can someone explain me the using of the word "such" please? It seems it has some different meaning but I don't get how to use it yet. I saw things like "such a great idea" for example but I would like to be abble to use it too. Thanks in advance!

¿En qué medida puede ser una experiencia enriquecedoa el salir de sus propias fronteras? Durante una nueva experiencia, conocemos nuevas cosas. Podemos ver nuevos paisajes, nuevas culturas y vivir nuevas possibilidades. Salir de sus propias fronteras puede ser peligroso ya que no conocemos el futuro y no conocemos que puede arrivir. Pero es nuevo, es por eso por lo que está enriquecedorado. Con esta experiencia, podemos vivir un intercambio social y cultural que va a permitir enriquecerse. Además, podemos emigrar para tener una vida mejor con un mejor sueldo. Por lo tanto, nos enriquecemos. O es possible que la moneda sea diferiencia, nos enriqueceremos en un otro país con el mismo sueldo gracias a la otra valor de la moneda. Pero la cosa más importante no es el sueldo sino la experiencia. Permite discubrir nuevas cosas, nuevas personas con nuevas culturas. Todo eso permite enriquecerse particularmente socialmente y culturalmente. ¡Gracias por coregir o leer! Eso estaba una expressión escrita durante un examen pero quiero ponerla allí. :)

About your job, how did you choose?

Hi Italkiers!

This post won't really related to usual themes (like languages or culture) but it's something important for anyone who has to take the same decision as me.

I actually have to choose my next studies soon to prepare a job. That's a huge decision because it will organize my whole life. I'm pretty afraid I guess and maybe thay's why I can't decide or make a choice even general.

So I'm asking you how did you choose your job? Whatever it is, how did you know you were born to do this work? And was it obvious for you?

I searched a lot to find what could I like, what could I study with my capacities and everything... But I would like real testimony with a real experience, not only research with notes about a job.

Thank you in advance, I would be really gratefull!

"Idea de prograso" ¡Hóla! Querría tener una corrección de mi texto, explica me. Primero, gracias de leer eso y mucho gracias si corregis. Debo hacer una expreción oral en español y quiero prepararme un poco. Por eso, presento mi introducción, no leería cuando va a hacer mi expreción pero no quiero aprender faltas antes de hacerla y quiero tener las ideas en mi cabeza para saber que va a decir. Presentación de la noción: Iré a hablar de la noción sobre la idea de progreso. La idea de progreso muestra la diferencia entre el pasado y el presente. La población quiere mejorar la sociedad y sus condiciones de vida por ejemplo. Esta noción ostenta los problemas que el mundo atraviesa y que la población quiere abrogar para lograr el progreso y tener una vida mejor. Problemática: ¿Sabemos que el progreso es un objetivo importante pero está existir un real progreso? ¿Podemos realmente ver este o no? Presentar los documentos: Intentaré dar respuesta a esta problemática a través de tres documentos. El primer documento es un texto que presenta el movimiento “Democracia Real Ya”, el secundo es la canción de SkaP “El Vals del Obrero” y el tercero es un documento audio que muestra una entrevista entre una periodista y un joven español, discuten de “los jóvenes español de hoy”. ¡Mucho gracias!

My disappointment in school During the holidays, I checked my marks at school on the website. I had a homework to do in English about the "myths and heroes", it was a reccord of myself about 5 minutes when I had to spoke about what we studied in class. It was the first time I had something to do and to give back to the teacher DURING the holidays. I did it and sent it to him a little bit early. I was proud of myself because I had prepared the script and I had taken the best accent I could have, even if it wasn't so "English". So, I saw my mark and it was 14.5 over 20. I was a little bit disappointed but I said "okay, let's go on, I'll do something better next time". However, there were two other marks, one about an oral comprehension and the other about my participation in class. Firstly, the oral comprehension. It was about James Bond! As a train, we saw a video about him and Ian Fleming but this time, we had to undertand by ourselves the part two of the documentary (showing in the videos). I found it hard because a man spoke about a gun in the video, it was the major part of it but I don't know nothing about the gun's vocabulary! However, I thought I had understood a big part of it, with some interesting details. I had 16.5 over 20, a good mark for me, because the system for comprehension correction is strict. Now, my real disappointment is about my oral participation in class. The teacher explained the system at the beginning of the year, to have the best mark, we have to have 6 "stick" per lesson. To have a stick, you have to speak : a sentence is 2 sticks but with two verbs it is 3. Thus, we just have to speak twice during the hour to have the 6 sticks. I did it everytime! The problem is that it's the students who put the sticks on the paper. Once, I'm almost sure the student didn't know my name, so I think he didn't put the sticks I should have. I really wanted 20 for my participation because I did what the teacher wanted to but I only had 16.5! I would like some explanations because I spoke enough everytime to have the 6 sticks. That's why I hate the oral participation, it's always like that! But I wanted to precise, I know it's only marks, it doesn't really matter about my work or something like that. I know it but then, if I do efforts for nothing, it's useless so I should keep my energy to do other things for other subjects! Thank you to read this, And thanks a lot if you correct it ! :)
