Writing a report when you lose something in somewhere. I am writing this report because the last 2th of November I lost one of my shopping bag that I was carrying. That was at 20:00 approximately, I spent all day on the shopping center looking for some present for my parents, they will celebrate their anniversary next month so I thought that would be a great idea to buy some presents. Well, at the last of the day I went to the train station, I took the train number 2352 which stops near to my home. It was quite empty so I seated next to the main door. I putted my bags next to my legs and then I switched my mp3 on. At that time I had 4 shopping bags. When I realized that I had only 3 bags was when I was opening the front door of my home, I came back to the train station but obviously it was too late, the train had already gone. The bag was mostly brown but had some red thick stripes and belonged to a famous jewelry as I bought a light, shiny necklace. It was no so expensive but when I saw through the store’s desk, it is because that I am so sad about all of this. Finally I would appreciate very much if anyone find my bag could contact with me. Thanks!

So you think that watching movies is a good way to improve our target language? I think so, yes. I've been watching like 4 or 5 movies each week, in English of course. Usually after dinner, instead of wasting time in Facebook or other silly things I spend some nights on watching movies, usually american movies because are so easy to find on the internet! For instance, the last film that I watched was called "Social Network" and it was a kind of biography of Mark Zuckerberg, the creator and owner of facebook.com, that was a really interesting movie in my opinion! Anyway I usually have a notebook next to me in every movie that I see in order to write down useful words, sentences and constructions so later I can check them out. And you? Do you think that watch a movie is a useful tool to improve your language? PS: I don't know if I should use "see" instead "watch" when I'm talking about movies. PS: I also don't know if it's better to use movie or film, please help me out with that! I'm looking forward to read your opinions about it!

Small part of my cover letter :) Hey there! I'm writing another cover letter, this is a small part of it and I'll appreciate if any native speaker can correct any possible mistake on it. As you can see on my CV, I am a graduate in Business Studies. Throughout my degree I was especially interested in marketing, business management and accounting. Furthermore I have been working in the family business which is closely related on renting flats, looking for the best client and taking care of the customers. Because of that working in Workingtogether will be a really interesting experience. Hence, it is important for me to know different areas and different ways of working in a European company.

Review of my summer. i there! I used to write on Lang-8 once or twice a week but these two last months I've been a bit busy. I would like to explain what I've been doing these two months. One of my hobbies is travelling and each summer I try to go outside of my country, usually to countries which I can Practice my English so in July I went to England, Oxford specifically. I did an intensive English course so I was quite busy there, though I had every afternoon free so I met lots of people around the world, Japanese, Korean, German, Italian, Brazilian... that was, in my opinion, the best part of the trip because I learnt a bunch of things about other cultures, other languages, different societies. I spent the whole July there, we visited different places in Oxford but even around the country, like Cambridge, London, Bristol, Manchester or Woodstock. But the best part of the story is coming, because I met really good people there, we were really good friends and some of theme, particularly people from out of Europe, wanted to visit other countries and I told them to visit Spain staying in my place so when we finish our trip in England we took a plane to Spain, Valencia concretely, and spent 4 days here, my mother cooked some traditional spanish dishies like Paella, Fideuá and more haha. After those four days we called our new Italian friend and he told us to go there to spend some days in Italy, so we did! We took a plane from Barcelona to Rome. We enjoyed our 5 days there, really good pizzas, lasagnnas and other italian food. We went to Rome, Florence, Milano, Venice... I can say that is a wonderful country. Though the economical situation there is awful, which is a pity... but, at last, is a great country to spend your holidays. And that's it, I've spent month and a half travelling around Europe, which have been the best experience ever. And the best point is that I can go now to Japan and Korea and stay in my friend's home for free :) Thank you for reading! Jorge

Good Radio Stations in English to improve listening skills. Hi everybody! I'm learning English and one of the most useful tools in order to improve our listening skills are listen an English radio station.

So please, could you recommend me other stations? Many thanks buddies!
