Lovely work Olivia 🌸

Some vocabulary tips:

Unfortunately, my husband IS TREATING ME TO a trip to Italy, one of THE countries ON MY BUCKET LIST I WISH to visit.

I enjoyed reading this very much Antonio.

> When we use this expression, we need to use this formula:

Not only HAVE I read her novels, but I have also read her short stories.

(Not only have I done something, but I have also done something else)

> Last summer, I SPENT one wonderful week in London.

Hi Olivia,

This is very good. I have some tips for you:

1. TONE:

I hope this finds you in great shape! > This is nice, but perhaps too informal. A more formal version could be: I hope this finds you well.

2. GRAMMAR:

> I understood you would HAVE submitED it to me yesterday.

> Perhaps I HADN’T not made myself clear in what was needed in the report.

(You will look at these tenses in detail in the ‘Tell Interesting Stories’ course. However, let me know if you need any clarification)

[Kerin]

Nice work!

[Kerin]

I couldn’t agree with you more Antonio! (Well-written as well 💪)

Note: … but he is also AN extremely persuasive speaker.

Thank you for sharing Sara. I appreciate your view on what art means and I see we share similar tastes! My mum always makes fun of me saying that I live in the wrong city. Florence, of course, is surrounded by art. However, Renaissance art, although I do appreciate it, doesn’t spark any real emotion in me. There are only so many paintings of the Madonna I can take! Whereas, I find the modern art museums in Venice and Milan much more stimulating.

I think perhaps you once told me about your volunteer post at the museum. I’d love to hear more about that. I’ve had some amazing experiences in New York and Amsterdam down to the talks we were given by volunteers. It can be quite an intimate experience.

• He uploadS❗ the selfie he took her on yandex.com
• Yandex is the simplelized❗(spelling: simplified) version of google. It has a search platform. You can use it to deliver a message and upload photos on yandex and it will perform a search on it, it will tell te person on the image❗(it will tell who the person is on the image). It does that by recognizing the person on the image and looking for the specifications from that recognition
• Should we be scared ❗ of facial recognition?

Good examples Olivia.

FYI > In your first phrase: I spent all the night is correct, but you can also say I spent all night (deleting the ‘the’) because to spend all night is a set phrase.

> Although she is a great cook, she made the rookie mistake of leaving❌ letting✅ the caramel burn

> I would rather go ON to another topic instead of lingering on this dispute

go on to = continue

Hi Marilda!

We will look at this together during our lesson!

I would like to organize a meeting with you about DenverX Project. ✅

It’s important to decided who runs comms between London and Paris offices and who handles recruitment and who is taking lead on logistics.

Let me know when we can be meeting.

Best regards

Good Marilda

Our monthly staff meeting will be ON May 8th at 10.00.

❗️Remember, we need to use capital letters with months and days

If you have to add some itemS,

❗️‘Some’ means it is automatically plural

If you CAN’T participate, send someone from your department.

❗️This is referring to the future, so we need to use ‘can’t’ – couldn’t would refer to the past

[Kerin]

Well done Marilda 🙌

I have made some small corrections:

I’d like to inform you THAT our monthly staff meeting will be CHANGED to May 8th at 10.00.

Please check ❌(delete: it) the agenda attached and let me know if you have anything to add.

For any reason if you CAN’T join this meeting ….

❗️ If you can’t … because we are referring to the future. If you couldn’t refers to the past

[Kerin]

Thank you for letting us know. The link has been restored

[Kerin]

Exceptionally well written. I wonder if we should replace intimacy with privacy?

[Kerin]

This is really well done Antonio, you have used the vocabulary in a very nice way and some very nice constructions too (e.g neither…nor)

Let’s have a closer look:

> As an example, I´ll explain a short story. > here I’d use ‘tell’ instead of ‘explain’ because tell collocates with story (tell a story, tell a lie etc)

>I panicked and I unsuccessfully tried to find them ON the pavement at the risk of being RUN over by a car or pedestrian.

>Then, another terrible idea struk me: (spelling) STRUCK

>maybe I was been the victim of a pickpocket. (grammar) had been (You will cover this in the Tell Interesting stories course)

> I can say that it was a Rockie mistake! (spelling) rookie

[Kerin]

Don’t apologise! Mistakes are how we learn 🙌
