¿Podrían ayudarme a traducir esto? Hola amigos, encontré estos dos párrafos en mi libro y no entiendo su coherencia: - " 'Claire, it's Ruth', Claire held back a sigh and walked into the kitchen to put the coffe machine on. A phone call from her sister was never over quickly. 'Ruth, darling. How are you?' As she waited for her sister to start describing in detail her latest disaster, Claire mulled over how much to reveal about her new business assignment. Her family would have to be told something, of course. Not that they ever came to visit, or called her home phone, or sent her letters. Still, it seemed only right to tell them it meant she was moving out for twelve months. Tuning back into the telephone call, Claire realised she had missed some key information and tried to catch up with what her sister was talking about" - "I met people from Calcutta, and Chile, and learnt that holding on to any stereotypes I might have about Americans would be about as useful as assuming that all European people lived on farms"

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre "Injuries" y "wounds"? Estaba haciendo mi tarea y descubrí que aparentemente no significan lo mismo. Pero, ¿por qué?

¿Cuál es más fuerte "must" o "had to"? Quiero saber cual de estos dos recursos representa más seriedad. Me gustaría saber si uno es más fuerte que otro, si son iguales o tienen alguna diferencia.

Writing about what happened today Today was a long and tiring day. I got up early, at 6:45. I had breakfast at 7:00. I ate cereals with honey, orange juice, a green tea and a kiwi. After that I went to my english class at 8:00. When I finished my class, I went to the gym. I did my best at the gym and because of that I'm very tired right now. I went back home at 10:45. When I arrived home I helped my mother to wash the dog. When I finished that, I take a bath. When I finished my bath, it was 12:00 so I decided it was time to listen to music. I had lunch at 13:00 and after that, I was going to do my english homework, but, instead of this I fell into the hands of the internet. I surfed the web for a few minutes until I remembered that the last night I joined in "italki" so I decided to enter to this site again. I discovered the fabulous world of italki and I spent four hours surfing this website. At 6 o'clock, I had tea and after that I played the bass for one hour. Later I did my english homework and finally I had dinner at 10:00. It’s half past ten right now, and I'm very tired so I am going to go to the bed soon. Tomorrow will be a long day again.

Being a musician (my writing homework) Being a Musician. Guitarist, drummer, bassist, cellist, violinist: all of them are musicians. But, what thing have they in common? The answer is that all of them play an instrument, and it is the definition of musician... “ a person who plays a musical instrument”. And now I'm going to talk about these people. If you are a musician you haven't got a strict schedule because you don't have to go work eight hours per day five times a week. As a musician you are working all day. When you plays your instrument, when you compose something, even when you are listening to music because in this case you are getting your ear better. What thing you must do to be a musician? Even if you have a natural talent for your instrument, there's a difference between "playing an instrument" and "being a musician." That difference involves practice. Musicians are dedicated to improve their skills and learn new things. The only way to do that is regular and serious practice. How can I spread my music? Well... The answer of this question is very related with the ways of communication. Some years ago, If you wanted to spread your band you would have to go to the radio or to the television. If you couldn't go to this ways of communication, you had to keep striving with live presentations. I think it was very difficult. But now is easier. There are new ways which can help you to spread your music. For example youtube and the social nets. Imagine that you are a musician and you have just recorded a song and you aren't famous enough to be on the radio. Nowadays you can create a video and upload this to youtube. Moreover, you have the possibilty to advertise this on social nets. The disappointing world of the music (In Uruguay at least). Even if you're talented, even if you're a hard worker, even if you're the best piano player in your country, it's possible that you'll struggle to be heard. Being a musician can be a slog for a lot of people, and it can take a long time before the fruits of your labor start to pay off. In addition, being a professional musician is very expensive. Get good instruments is too much expensive, also if you want to record a CD you must pay a fortune. It is disappointing.
