Good Carlos, well written!
Let’s see if we can iron out some errors:
> I do agree in the fact that this is a mania > wrong preposition
> …. since a large amount of population has a good understanding of this language. > missing an article
> In my opinion, provided that lots of people know a concrete language, global communication would be at ease. I suggest: would be easier? Be at ease means to feel calm and relaxed
Have a go and see if you can fix the above

Top marks on this @Lu_Corde well done:
✅ you used your own words
✅ you identified the main idea
✅ you found relevant ideas & omitted irrelevant details
✅ you kept the meaning the same
✅ you used attributive tags
✅ you kept your opinion out of it
Let’s have a look at some corrections:
> missing article: Emma Taggart describes the main milestones of THE life and artistic career of the Polish painter Tamara the Lempicka.
> During THE 20s and In THE 30s
> … and moves to THE United States
> word order: The success brings also…. > sounds better like this: The success also brings ….
Grammatically, also can be put in lots of different places in a sentence, but changing its place will also change the meaning and emphasis of the sentence. It’s difficult to learn this as it’s a very subtle difference, but a good way to try is to basically put also next to or as close as possible to the word that you are highlighting.

Just these few things:

Well done Jacopo, you’ve completed this task very well. (Task 3 is excellent)
Here are some corrections:
> Shouldn’t you able to join this meeting let us know and delegate someone for the important updates.
This should read:
> Should you not be able to join this meeting, please let us know and delegate someone for the important updates.

Superb work Ecaterina,
✅ the tone is appropriate (formal, but friendly)
✅ the language structures you have used are appropriate
✅ you are inviting further collaboration in the future
Here are a few suggestions:
> I would like to thank you for the invitation to our yearly Christmas Party. > should this be ‘your’?
>The location chosen is fantastic, ….. word order: The chosen location is fantastic, or simply: The location is fantastic,
> I hope the party will be a success and looking forward to the next event where I could be present, too. No need for the comma here: I hope the party will be a success and looking forward to the next event where I could be present too.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Well done 👍

Top marks on this @Andrea.Grassi well done:

✅ you kept your opinion out of it
Let’s have a look at some corrections:
>Polish needs a capital letter
>I suggest these changes, including a word order change, to make easier reading:
At the same time, a chunk of the story is dedicated to her personal scandals. As the author describes, Tamara was known for her crazy parties and sexual appetite which ALSO led to THE breakup with HER husband.
> I suggest these changes, try not to make your sentences too long:
Emma tells us how (delete:then) her work started to decline because of the rise of Expressionism and, although Tamara tried to adapt to this new style, it didn’t help her fame anymore. She lived the last part of her life with HER daughter and didn’t do any further exhibitions.
> The conclusion is good, but if we add a few commas and the word ‘it’, it would be even better! Where would you add these?
The author ends the article talking about the renaissance of her work that got picked up again around the 70s and now after her death in 1980 is extremely popular amongst celebrities.

Superb! Yes, he is very clever! (Ahahaha! Scottish surnames 😳 😂 )
> In actor’s opinion, … > In the actor’s opinion, ….
> no matter if this will lead to job or not. > no matter if this will lead a to job or not.
> 7) Focus on your success and not on your failures, look at the failures just constructively
> coscience > conscience
I found problems to understand point 9: the one when he talk about the line on the jeans?? – can you give me the timestamp for this part?

I too was not the sharpest crayon in the box when it came to maths!
Good phrases Manuela – two things to note:
> this expression needs ‘a’ not ‘the’: without a shadow of a doubt.
> Adjectives like knackered and gutted are what we call ‘Absolute Adjectives’. This means that is generally not capable of being intensified or compared. Therefore we don’t use ‘very’ or ‘extremely’ with these kinds of adjective.
