    Ahaha! I love this! Plastic glasses, cookers and burners! 😂

    (and also pre-Covid life! Che bello!😂)

    I think that was harsh of your advisor though … in Britain we usually accept American spelling and grammar (as long as it is consistent!)

    A few notes:

    >we would throw a party that night, wonderful pre-covid experiences: would is not correct here, because it implies that you would have done something, but it didn’t happen. You can use this: > we were throwing a party that night or we were having a party that night

    > … two minutes before to ❌ understand what I was asking forbefore and after needs to be followed by a gerund: two minutes before understanding what I was asking for

    Can you try and correct this?:

    In my school years I have only studied (TENSE) British English, so when I went in (preposition) Chicago last year there were a lot of errors and misunderstandings by (preposition) my side!
