Dear dinning hall leader:
Iām sorry to disturb you, but I want to say this thing itās many colleague what they want to advice.
The tables in the dinning hall maybe use for long times and now have some problem on them. Could you fix the unstable tables please?
I sincerely hope our dinning hall leader can pay attention in it.
Wish you all the best!
From:Kiki
Hi! You did a good job getting the message across but there are some errors. The first paragraph is kind of hard to understand, if you changed "Iām sorry to disturb you, but I want to say this thing itās many colleague what they want to advice." to "I'm sorry to disturb you, but there is a problem I would like to bring up, and many of my colleagues agree that we should take steps to resolve it" than the paragraph would be much easier to read and get your message across in a much clearer manner. In the second paragraph the sentence, "The tables in the dinning hall maybe use for long times and now have some problem on them." should be, "The tables in the dining hall have been in use for a long time now and have some issues I think we should try to resolve.", The rest of the writing is perfect! (Hope this helped!)
The fellow over me corrected practically everything (my props to you), but if I can help, according to my dictionary āpay attentionā is followed by ātoā
thankss for correct me š¤©
thankss šŗ
Hi guys, do you think it's more correct to say: relax by playing some game or playing some game? I don't know when use by
you wouldn't say either of those you would say "relax by playing a game" or "play a game to relax"
anyone available to check my writing
Maybe if you post it here @main compass , someone might check it. I scrolled up and see @lilac maple helped checking some. Cmiiw.
Yeah.
Yeah
can u guys read through my essay and give me some feedback pls
Are you for or against zoos? (minimum 350 words) (30 minutes).
Recently, with rapid technological development and globalisation, there have been many controversies regarding zoos. Some people consider stripping animals of their freedom as an immoral action, while others debunk this argument saying that the nature of zoos is keeping animals away from extinction. Both these arguments sound quite reasonable, but as for me, I stand in the middle. Yes, capturing animals and taking away another being's freedom is unarguably an inhuman action indeed, from our point of view. But what if we look at it from the animal's point of view? They're not intelligent beings like us - they don't understand what freedom and dignity truly mean. All that matters to them is present happiness. That brings us to discuss about animal abuse. There have been many reported cases of animal torture across the globe, and I find it truly despicable. Keeping animals in captivity is one thing, but I firmly believe all kinds of animal mistreatment should be strictly proihibited and heavily punished, especially in zoos. To conclude, I just wanted to say that I'm perfectly fine with keeping animals in zoos and profitting off of them, as zoos also need funds to cover all the costs regarding manteinance, staff, ... and keep it running. However, I think all personnel's activities should be strictly managed and any type of abuse should be reported and punished, in order to keep the animals as happy and healthy as possible.
@lilac maple aye mate
was good g
its pretty good, but i would probably change "many controversies" to something like "a lot of controversy" or "controversy in abundance" if your teacher is like super old-fashioned haha (or trying to sound really smart)
Also, be careful not start a statement with "But" or "And". Some people very picky about that.
last note, replace the "..." with "etc" (etcetera).
you did really well āŗļø
Thanks!
Hi! Could anyone suggest a better/more polite way to say this or is this already fine:
Gabe mentioned that there will be guests arriving the same day so a late checkout could not be accommodated š but if you'd like, you could leave your bags at their place for a while until your next check-in. The good news is an early check-in is possible at Tony's place at 1 pm š Does that work for you?

So, I have to write an essay to bring my grade one point up. I already have 12 points, but since I wanna do it on a "LK" level I'd be really happy to have 13 points (that would be like an A- if that makes sense).

Sorry, I do my best, I try to learn and do exercises, don't be so tough with me...
Sorry
Hello people please check my sentecne:
"There was a nice wind outside blowing when I was taking a walk"
how would you say that in English?
you'd probably say "there was a nice wind blowing when i was taking a walk"
when and while are interchangeable here
i don't think it sounds good to say "blowing outside when i was taking a walk" because you taking a walk already implies that you're outside yourself, so saying that the wind blew outside is redundant
while youāre here, it might be a good idea to replace āniceā with another word like refreshing, cool etc.
There was a nice wind blowing, when I was taking a walk
/As I took a walk, a nice wind started blowing (idk depends on time of wind)
/A nice wind blew outside while I took a walk
Experiment, see what fits your overall style
I'd write- 'A nice wind blew outside as I took a walk'
Tbh I dont even know why you wanna write that (the context)
"there was a nice breeze when I was outside"
I felt Challenged when i got My ACL Torn Apart
Hey guys
could someone correct my blog entry?
We are too lazy to live an environmently-friendly life
Itās so convenient to go somewhere by car instead of riding a bicycle or to go shopping without taking a look at the fair traid seals. In fact, we all do love comfort which has psychological roots. Thuss, it is true to some extent that we are too lazy to implent a sustainable lifestyle but there is more to it.
Industrialized countries like Germany are known for their wealth and high life standard. Therefore people got used to it and indulge the given freedoms and opportunities such as going on vacation by plane or having a wide selection of products in the shopping mall. But it can't go on like this and most of the Germans know it. After climate change and ist consequences became palpable, we all are forced to change our entrenched habits and sacrifice our comfort in an effort to mantain our planet. At first it might seem intimidating or even impossible because we have taken our freedoms for granted and we just donāt any restrictions. This is the reason for the contradictory behaviour of Germans. At the one hand they are worried about their planetās future and on the other hand still buy fast fashion.
This introduces a new hurdle for living an environmently-friendly life: the affordability. Often the poor strata canāt afford sustainable products while people with higher incomes consume more or even lavish ressources. This is why the politics should establish guidelines to address global warming and make climate protection fair for everyone.
It is undeniably true that without solidarity we canāt avert the catastrophe our planet is likely to face if we donāt embrace change and continue pursuing profit at the expense of environment. So I think that it is of paramout importance to undertake responsibility instead of shriking it. Admittedly, changes are hard but we have to puncture the fallacy that it is something bad as it is the only thing that it constant in our lifes. Therefore I suggest to gear ourselves up for the challenging future and finally start doing something.
Comment down below your ideas of how we could overcome the psychological hurdles and align our behaviour to an environmently-friendly lifestyle.
Thanks for reading!
Environment-friendly
looks like a piece of Marxist propaganda š¤®
why?
There are so many mistakes there I don't even wanna start listing them

Comment down below your ideas of how we could overcome these psychological hurdles and align our behaviour to achieve an environmentally-friendly lifestyle.
Thank you (Thanks is too casual here) for reading!
if I made any mistakes please lmk
I don't have a car because I'm saving up money for a bicycle
I'm already living a fecking envirenment-friendly life you can't imagine
but I'm a Libertarian and I don't believe in government
every government works for the rich and not for me
so, I think they are planning something
I still have issues with that text but at least you've fixed most of the problems
this sentence: After climate change and its consequences became palpable, we are all forced to change our entrenched habits and sacrifice our comfort in an effort to maintain our planet.
i don't like the tense usage here
should either be "Now that climate change has become palpable, we are all forced..." or "After climate change had become palpable, we were all forced..."
I was a bit confused about the "fair trade seals" thing because from all info i've found online, that's a concept only present in the USA and i'm not sure the text is US-targeted
I thought it meant something different nvm
i initially thought it was a misspelling or fair trade sales
yeah, when I read your comment it seemed to be talking about the "fur" trade of seals but then i read the original and that doesn't make sense for it to be there but i can't think of what else it could mean
it's apparently a type of seal they put on products that are certified by the FairTrade organisation in the US that supposedly means the product was produced in an environmentally friendly fashion
"the poor strata" is an actual thing though, i don't see a problem with it apart from the saying being rare
but then it says "we all love comfort and this tendency has psychological roots" so it could be a shop that sells them which provides comfort for the wearer
aahh I've never heard that before, but that fits better
well yea the comfort here doesn't mean comfortable clothes
rather a comfortable lifestyle
Also i don't like saying "Politics should establish guidelines....", i think "The government should establish guidelines" or "Politicians should establish guidelines" works better
Rare ? based on the text does "strata" not mean poorer people "The poor strata can't afford sustainable products"
strata is a plural form of stratum which just means a group of people
so the poor strata means poor people
it is rare though, you wouldn't hear that word often
Yeah, i re-read it and that definitely is a rare word
Agreed, if it was a choice between the two i would have gone with The government should establish guidelines
I don't think fecking should be used in that sentence, it would be more appropriate to leave that out
can we talk about this: opportunities such as going on vacation by plane, (comma) or having a wide selection of products in the shopping mall
Take "money" out of this sentence, if you say "I am saving up" people know that you mean money
why is a comma needed there
i'm not sure why you're correcting these, that was a discussion they had with another person, not actual proofreading material. Not to mention they don't even have the "Correct me" tag
Also this is true too. Can also use environmental-friendly
Further correction
i don't think you should correct people just because you want to if they don't either ask for it explicitly or at least have the tag enabled
that's like the entire reason the tag exists at all
I know that but if there is a problem or word that doesn't need to be there then I will say. If they then say that was intentional then i will leave it.
Tell me how this sounds lol:
(its a diary entry for homework)
I shall try to properly write this. I donāt usually write diaries. Indeed, I highly doubt Iād have ever taken the trouble to do so. Keeping a written record of my life to remind me how awful it can be, I believe, would be rather sad. However, now I simply am, er, obliged to do so. So attempts shall be made in order to. . interest me into doing so. Removing the task from the list of chores might help not remove its literary value; ah, writing something that has some value is a rather valuable usage of time, I should think. That being said, if my overall style of writing appears weird, or if it seems somehow off, just remember- I donāt do diaries.
God, that was long for a justification. But itās rather typical, I do go to unjustified lengths to justify myself, then proceed to justify aforementioned unjustified lengths. So maybe maāam was right. So sue me.
Now that we are all done with the intros, we may start the diary. From tomorrow. Je suis trop flemmard. Read: I am leaving for my hometown, so thereāll be lots to write about.
theres more weird entries lol
late but noted
when I read it out loud, I just naturally pause at that place and it sounds a bit awkward if you don't pause there
In general, your sentences tend to be too short. It's ok to have short sentences but the fact that you have short sentences back to back makes the text sound very choppy
lol yea
i am aware
the short sentence thing is something I was trying for fun
it reads differently
Oh I see
Hello, guys!
I'm preparing for essay scholarship. Could anyone help me?
Thanks in advance, anw
If anyone needs anything to be proofread & edited, I'll do it happily for free.
Just send it here
Is it OK?
Hmm, but essay kinda privacy :)
Perhaps someone could I'll dm to make sure, if not burdens.
Person above just said yes
Could someone correct my essay entry?? People have different views about whether studying oversea may give opportunity for students to open their mind.While some people claimed that spending time for that is extremely expensive and having other problems. In my opinion, I believe that upsides of living and studying in other countries outstrip its drawbacks.
On the one hand (On of the greaest advantages of studying aboard) is that it will be allowed to learn how to live independently as family and relatives are far away and will not available to aid and cater for them if problems arise. Moreover, students who be educated in foreign countries may be receive some benefits like have experience a brand-new country with incredible new mindset,traditions and activities. Thus they can open a range of knowledge not only lectures at school but also figure out many opportunity of career path and a chance to try new stuff in foreign countries. As a result, studying aboard grants the occasion to completely immerse in a new language,and there is no better way to learn than to dive right in
On the other hand,there a number of reasons why students are not interested in study abroad. First and foremost, it is often the case that in overseas tuition fees are higher for international students rather than for local students. It is undeniable that finace become the biggest trouble about study abroad as they also pay for their school fee and cost of living. Other reason is that it can bring for them that they can not gain takecare from family and friend and too hard to make a real friendship when problems is language barrier.
In conclusion, although there are a number of benifits of study abroad,I personally believe that disvantages of this overweight advantages.
I feel like you're contradicting yourself a bit. it's probably not a good idea to talk about the pros and cons in the same paragraph maybe I'm the stupid one, but I have the impression
that you are less convincing because the evidence is mixed
I don't know if you understand what I mean
@ionic rose here someone need help with proofreading
I already did that one. š She's got it in her DMs.
hi
@ionic rose i mean this one
I meant that one too.
Awesome
This is an informal letter for C1. Can someone check it for mistakes of any kind, please?
I believe @ionic rose can help
Can I ask what "C1" means? is that some sort of test?
it's a ranking
A-C
on how well you know a language
A is new people, B fir intermediate, C for basically fluent
Are they asking us to rank it, or are they saying they're submitting it to someone else?
they're saying they're gonna submit it for a test
or something
they're saying they're testing or practicing for the C1 level
So one of the english countries has a testing system like japan's i guess.
I guess.
i'm learning japanese and they have these N5 through N1 test. I only know a handful of words so i'm not touching that with a 10foot pole for now, but the above post made me curious what country that was in because I wondered if america or some place had some similar system and i just happen to not know about it.
Advanced level
C2 is fluent
B1 intermediate
B2 upper intermediate
A1-A2 beginner
There are many tests for English like TOEFL, IELTS
Its a system to recognise your level of English and demonstrate it officially for working abroad.
How are my articles?
ah konnichiwa @soft blade. I can understand what you're writing, so overall it gets the job done - but small errors here and there give away that you still have a few things to learn.
I guess for a start, they're not called articles but rather look like answers to a homework assignment.
but maybe you meant to ask how are my sentences?
on #4 you misspelled calors, but spelled it correctly on 3.
i don't really want to do your homework for you but i'll show you one correction.
"meanings of each colors" should be changed to "meanings of each color"
Thank you so much
4.5/10 if you want to know why feel free to dm me I'll proofread your work.
Not that bad. Mind dming me rq? Gotta say smth about it.

would someone be willing to proofread and correct a page of writing for me? it's nothing important or time sensitive, just a little backstory thing that i wrote for a roleplay character some time ago. some parts sound kinda wonky to me but i'm not sure how to fix it. it would be one whole page in microsoft word though.
@halcyon glade check your dm
Why not just send it here
It's a rather personal piece of writing because it's more prose like, so I don't really feel comfortable posting it for everyone to see.
Any suggestions for the text below? (To make it read better if you know what I mean) (Lore for a tank I made in a game)
The Type 73 Armoured vehicle was developed to counter russiaās new T-1 tank, featuring a revolutionary hull design thatās nearly frontally immune to any theoretical 45mm. It also sports great mobility with a 24L V6 engine, it even has the power to climb 20 degree slopes which would make short work of any manchurian hill. Armed with a 65mm it has the power to penetrate up to 41 milimeters of armour. The turret is welded which, from testing, was found to be better than riveted armour but the hull was made with the latter style for financial reasons.
Four iterations of the model were created, the first one featured a 37mm British pom pom gun which, while useful for infantry support did not have desirable penetration, it also had reliability problems as the gun would jam frequently. The second had the Canon de 65 mm ModĆØle 1891 which achieved everything we desired out of a tank canno, chiefly, a potent HE, great penetration, and high fire rate. The third iteration featured an improved turret armour layout. The last improved the angling of the lower front plate to make it more resistant to a worst case scenario 45mm shell (45*1200mm).
While this tank has many strong points, it also has weak ones, the turret and the lower front plate are not immune to a worst case scenario 45mm, the sides are penetrable by anti-tank rifles, and the turretās aft, the place where most ammunition is stored, is protected by only 20mm of armour which might prove dangerous, the deck and bottom armour are also quite thin with them being a mere 10mms which might make it vulnerable to mines and anti-tank grenades.
This is so true and wish the leaders would have worked together about the climate change instead of fighting for power. Nowadays we are so lazy that we drive even for 500 meters destination.
I think youāre replying to the wrong person, I only proofread the previous personās stuff lol
Ahhh I see lol
