I agree with you Paolo! We should always have a choice.
Note:
-DependS on which conteXt.
-spelling: chose – choose
-
Yes, agree!
Note: No, I didn’t think IT

Thank you Paolo. I think you make a good point there.
Notes:
In my opinion is that the author’s predictions could be fantastic , but I think that ( DELETE: the) men could lose the (Spelling)FANTASY and (Creative is an adjective. The noun is: ) CREATIVITY …. but mostly TO BE free of MAKING (DELETE: the) mistakeS and after improve THEMSELVES FOR THE better.

Well done on this task Mónica. I agree with what you say about images and how it could be used as a tool for good instead of ‘evil’!
Your essay is well structured, coherent and fluid. You’ve used some nice vocab in there too:
Notes:
1> The main uses of television are depending on age …. here you should use the present simple: The main uses of television depends on age … (because this is an opinion/fact. It’s not about time)
2> contents – content is usually uncountable (I like this page as it gives a quick summary of the grammar and it has a nice word list) https://ieltsliz.com/uncountable-nouns-word-list/
Suggestions:
Another way to say low/high intellectual level – less/more cultured/educated. Low intellectual level – ignorant, uneducated, unread, uncultivated

That is certainly a winning attitude @Yulia 👏

I think we are on the same page about this! A red line is a red line! And this: “There is no accounting for taste” and “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” important to me when it comes into what is nice and what is not. Spot on!
Once when I was 15, I went to Paris with my mum and dad. We visited the Louvre and many museums but when we got to the Pompidou centre (which is full of contemporary art) I had a bit of a teenage tantrum! I was so fed up with being dragged around and I honestly couldn’t see anything but pretentious faff! Even though my mum was cross with me at the time, she admitted that she thought the same. Now when we want to say something is crap in our family, we say it is pompidou!😂

I 100% agree with you Paolo!
NB: to be afraid – My opinion is that some persons don’t want to change because they ARE afraid
life, lives (noun)
live (verb)

Oh dear. Do you know how many times that has happened to Enri and I? it is like an illness for us!
This is great Vale – tenses are excellent and I really enjoyed reading it.
Just a few things to tell you, but not to do with the grammar 👍
> we spent almost the all weekend/all the weekend – you can use both
> I put my hands into the bag to LOOK for my credit card TO PAY (delete-at) the toll booth, when I thought of CHECKING IF I HAD the HOUSE (not-house’s) keys… Suddenly, I realised that I hadn’t checked IF I HAD them before leaving the house in Milan…
>I realised that I hadn’t took – taken
> you can say – we spent all the weekend/ or all weekend end driving.

👏👏👏 this is so good Vale! Love it!
Instead of “On” the parterre you could say “From” (Also in UK we would say the stalls, but parterre is used in the US, so it’s not wrong!)
Only her got the sense of the play. > Only she …..

I know what you mean – TV series is an escape from reality and honestly in the evening sometimes I am so tired, it is all I am capable of! Even if I would prefer to read a book, TV is easier and I am lazy. I’ve not seen Ministry of Time although I did watch a Spanish show recently about bank robbers – it was a little ridiculous, but I did enjoy it. I forget the name.
I liked the first season of Luther, but it became too gory for me as it went on. I also remember watching it with my mum once when I was visiting and she kept complaining about all the blood, but when I suggested switching it off, she wouldn’t😂
Some notes; good job! Interesting vocab 👍 and fluent. Two points –
> I never liked too much watching TV – to make this sound more natural, switch the word order: I never liked watching TV too much OR I never liked watching TV THAT much
> travel back and forwards on the time – in time

Hi Paolo, you can see the corrections here.
Where you see the blue, please can you try and correct it yourself? Write the answers in reply to this thread.
Let me know if you have any questions 👍

Ahaha! Yes, that’s the problem with binge watching – marmalade brains! I too cannot think how you could say the same thing in Italian … 🤔🤔🤔
Anyway, below are a few notes. (Blue ticks are for things I really like!) As promised, sending you relevant grammar links too. If anything is unclear, give me a shout.

Beautifully put Adriana. I too am trying very hard to live in the present and be mindful. It is maybe one good thing that has come out of this period!
