Adjectives: Same as before; don’t need AND.
Also, it is more natural to say garnish green …. This will help you with adjective order: https://www.gingersoftware.com/content/grammar-rules/adjectives/order-of-adjectives/
*Grammatically this isn’t a question: either add the word ‘perhaps’ or add the aux to make it a question

@Mao well done for handing your your assignment 👏
This is a well written essay – I’m impressed. (You can see the ticks in blue parts I really like) The red are corrections. Mostly regarding the use of the article
(You might find this useful: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/articles/)
Vocabulary, structure and fluidity is marvellous 🌸👍

Excellent work @Gabriela – really well done.

That’s good if it came out quickly. It sounds very natural.
Okay, I’m not sure if I totally understand what you are getting at, but I think it’s this. Let’s try:
I’m feeling like I’m getting sucked into weird videos because I’m in over my head in this ….
Is that it?
(In my correction, the meaning is that the video content is what is ‘in over your head’, not the organisation.)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts @Gabriela
I totally agree with you that Covid has accelerated the digital age (especially in work habits and distance learning) and I think a lot of teachers were (rightly so) unprepared for this.
By the way – this site has some good resources and ideas for teaching online that you might find useful: https://www.futurelearn.com/info/blog/resources-for-online-teaching-during-coronavirus
I am extremely cautious regarding Cripto Currency and in fact don’t think I even really understand it! I agree 100% with what you say about robots regrading farmers and developing countries.
The technology (and the speed at which things change)it both fascinates and scares me to death!
Some notes:
To make this more natural sounding: We therefore know on what he was quite right and in what respect he was a bit too optimistic > We therefore know what he got more or less right and in what respect he was a bit too optimistic.
Word order: Clearly was the the digital camera a revolution > Clearly the digital camera was a revolution.
Change: The industry of autonomous cars is not there now where he thought it would be in 2020. >The industry of autonomous cars is not exactly where he thought it would be in 2020.

Morning @chiaramig Wow! This is fabulous! …..and also rather amusing 😂
Excellent work, I’m wondering if that took quite a lot of time?!
Just a few things to iron out, but I’m very impressed 😍

Sounds amazing! You reminded me of a course I did at University about women writers in the Victorian period. Our teacher always made English tea and scones as we discussed the books. He managed to create such a comfortable atmosphere out of the classroom that we were able to really explore themes without any limits. It was amazing.
Note: This phrase would sound better if you change the word order slightly: In my opinion to be a good teacher is necessary creativity and a lot of imagination
In my opinion creativity and a lot of imagination is necessary to be a good teacher
OR add:
In my opinion in order to be a good teacher, IT is necessary TO HAVE creativity and a lot of imagination

Good @rubina
> Yes, we need the past perfect (course 6 is all about this!)
> Where is not – no. You are talking about the effect of where the light hits, so the verb in question is HIT not BE. So you need to write this:
rich and vibrant where direct light hits the canvas and subdued and pale where it doesn’t.
Got it? 👍

Love your description of British TV series @chiaramig ! As you know, I am also a fan (especially Fleabag and Shetland!). I think it’s a good idea to watch with subtitles- otherwise it could be stressful and not very relaxing.
(too much slang – slang is uncountable)

It’s probably just because you are used to UK English and haven’t had opportunity to listen to American English.

Shocking! 😂 .. and expensive 😂😂😂

I don’t have a TV either anymore @Mao. In fact I use my I-pad like a TV nowadays. I agree with you – sometimes it’s nice to binge watch in order to switch off from the day. But too much feels like a waste of time. I also think for language learners, watching TV series is top!
(Ps. I loved the first 2 seasons of Glee!!!)
Notes:
Very well written. Very fluid and coherent. Good use of vocabulary.
Let’s have a look at some corrections:
> Since my house is not equipped WITH A TV ...
> binge watch (or binge-watch) is the verb and binge watching (or binge-watching) is the noun
Therefore: Instead, I use my laptop to binge watch dramas … and
Therefore, it is okay to (DELETE: be) binge watch (DELETE:ing) sometimes but not every time.
Therefore, it is okay to binge watch sometimes but not every time.
> At that moment, I rent series of the dramas …. Can you correct the grammar here?
> For upside > On the upside
Great job Mao👍🌸

Finally, watch the spelling and word order (in blue).
Can you fix the word in red?
