@sabri I confess ….something I am missing a lot right now is the art deco Odeon cinema in Florence! I love going there, even if the film isn’t so great, I just love the building. Anyway, I agree with you, we are realising in this period the importance of such things and art can take us out of daily life.
Corrections below!

@Aojewel that is fascinating. I’m afraid I have a lot of questions for you! What inspires your jewellery design? What materials do you work with? Do you have your own website or do you sell through retailers? Do you have a favourite Turkish artist? Okay, I’ll stop now!
Note-
> Related to my profession I am in design … for 20 years
> Here you need to use the present perfect to show that it is something that started in the past and continues to present time: Related to my profession I’ve been in design … for 20 years

Great effort @rubina – keep it up!

@chiara I loved reading this account and imagined having a tea together discussing it! Extremely well expressed Chiara, I don’t think this task is in any way easy, especially in a second language. Your writing is fluid and your vocabulary is perfect.
I’ve written a note on a few things to check, but I think I’m being a bit picky. I really can’t say enough how good this piece is.
(ps. I, on the other hand, would love a Hopper hanging on my wall … it appeals to my moodiness… I find such comfort in melancholy. I’m such a weirdo 😂😂)

I think that’s spot on @Gabriela – in general we are apprehensive of the unknown. It’s human nature I imagine.
ps. spelling> leaving (maybe it is just a typo)

Excellent Carla! Nothing vanilla here 😂

When reading this article I thought a lot about music! In my life span, I have gone through records, cassette tapes, CDs, mini-discs, I-pods and now streaming … all those changes in my short life. It seems frivolous, but I think it represents the point you rightly make – development is fact, whether we like it or not.
And I couldn’t agree more with your second point, if only technology were available to all… I fear I won’t see that in my lifetime!
A few notes:
> as scary as IT may seem
> Are we prepared …

Wow @Adriana … an explosive 10 years! Living life to the full! Thank you sharing your experience with us.
🌸Some notes:
Well done – you use the past simple correctly and the fluidity is great.
Some corrections:
> my 30th birthday
> buy is only a verb, so you can say ‘the purchase of my new apartment’ or ‘the buying of …’
> looking back (without to)
> I’ve change all – better to say: I’ve changed everything (see this for more info)
> living so far of my family and my son – ‘so far from my family’ or ‘so far away from’
> Am not sure what you mean by ‘incisively’ .. can you find another word here?
-
Agree completely about laziness and fear @Carly. Some people are so set in their ways, the idea of change is alien.

@Carly, thank you for being so candid. It’s not easy to share these things. It’s very brave that you bit the bullet and went to counselling. I understand your reluctance about getting help. Growing up in the north-east of Scotland, it was built into me that we ‘deal with our own problems’, a ‘grin-and-bear-it’ type attitude, but I know so many people who got the right help through therapy and perhaps without it, their story may have been so different….. I’m so glad it helped you….
ps. In this period I’m trying to allow myself to feel sad without feeling guilty! So I loved what you wrote: “…but I also enjoy a cloudy day.”

I lost steam is correct. You can also say: I ran out of steam – which would be more common in BrE
Admit (probably a typo) 🌸

I was thinking the same things @rubina … it has been a wake up call for us and I only hope that we learn from this and don’t immediately go back to all the things we were doing to kill our planet! (PS. Earth (terra) Heart (cuore))
About art: I agree completely. Where did you take these pictures? Amazing 😱
English corrections – two important things to correct. Please see images below.

Wonderful job @Vale – (how long did that take you?!)
