Well done Michele, I’m happy to see you are using the language 👍
Here are corrections:
> According to an article, selling products through these big companies WILL increase the revenues.
> I am not totally convinced because the new CEO DOESN’T HAVE the same vision for the company and she DOESN’T HAVE the same experience in making products.
>Therefore BY hiring a new CEO, she could retain her majority shareholder position while stepping back from the business and in this way she could make some important decisionS.

Hi Diego,
This phrase would be stronger if you added a conjunctive adverb, like this:
I do not have large sums to invest and I am afraid of losing my savings. Therefore, I think it is a good idea to ….
I suggest:
According to an article I read a few days ago, you should avoid high-risk investments only if you think you’ll need ACCESS TO your money at any time.
Watch out! Money is uncountable >
> If, on the other hand, you want to set them aside for many years … ❌
> If, on the other hand, you want to set IT aside for many years … ✅
Nicely done!

A few changes to make:
> Start-up might face difficult to access funds
The collocation is: face/have difficulties in doing something
> Start-ups might face difficulties in accessing funds.
> Because they aren’t enough scalable for entering new markets or attracting different target of customers.
word order adjective + enough > Because they aren’t scalable enough ….
> A CEO should step aside when the company growth has stagnated and when he can’t no longer bring fresh ideas and energies.
> ... and when he can’t bring fresh ideas and energy any longer.

You’ve got it Michele 👍
I suggest changing this phrase:
>The budget could be not enough for acquire and refit the factory
>The budget might not be enough for acquire and refit the factory

Hi Manuela,
Well done! I’ve shared a document with you on Google Drive.
I’m also sharing this:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_59ETY9qr8fKn9_TUr9SRTxT4M7I6l50Rf6fUhieL6M/edit?usp=sharing
It’s a writing correction code. I’ve marked your writing using the code.
This is a way for you try and work out the corrections on your own. Then, obviously if there are things you can’t fix, I’ll help you!

Solid sentences @Manuela.Lelli 🤩
Just a little correction:
> Merger is a good idea when a company needs help. > A merger is a good idea when a company needs help.

Thank you @Lu_Corde – nicely done! Have shared a Google doc using the correction code for you to have a look.

That’s it!
A few things:
> -it is an abandoned factory, but it is in place – do you mean the location is good?
> Now is the time to buy (omit it)

Well written Diego
(note in the first phrase, you don’t need the dog, for the same reason you wrote man’s and not the man’s: It is said that dog is man’s best friend, and there are many lessons we can learn from this friend.)
✅ you used your own words
✅ you identified the main idea
✅ you found relevant ideas & omitted irrelevant details
✅ you kept the meaning the same
✅ you kept your opinion out of it
Things to improve
▶️you should note the title and author in the topic sentence
e.g > In “The lessons one can learn from a dog”, the author writes about how many things man can learn from dogs.
▶️ you should use attributive tags
e.g > The Author suggests etc

This is super work @Mattia.Rosi Well done!
✅ you have explained the reason for the request
✅ you’ve stated the deadline
✅you’ve given dates clearly
✅ you’ve made your request polite
Some grammar points:
>to allow someone TO DO something (infinitive)
> in order to allow our customers uploading ❌
> in order to allow our customers to upload ✅
> At ‘moreover’ take a new sentence (remember, we English speakers like shorter sentences 😂)
and change the structure (we don’t really say: we need that… )
> Moreover we need the website to be offline for a while because we have to test it after the release.
> help someone TO DO something (infinitive)
>Do you think you could help us coordinating these activities with your team?
>Do you think you could help us to coordinate these activities with your team?
👍 Really happy with this Mattia, keep going!

Good Lucia!
To answer you:
Although they have a plural meaning, most uncountable nouns like this (including news, information, administration, management, advice, accommodation) are singular with no plural form.
However, even though they are singular, we cannot normally use the indefinite article (a/an) with uncountable nouns and instead must use some/any/no, indicating plurality.Some nouns have both uncountable and countable uses relating to more general and more particular instances of use. e.g., time and experience…
Compare the following:
time – a time / times
> There’s no time to lose. We must try to get home before dark.
> There was a time when I went to church every Sunday.
Now there are times when I don’t set foot inside a church for months on end.experience – an experience
> You need quite a lot of work experience to do this job properly and I don’t have very much.
> Walking across hot coals is an experience I shall never forget.

Ah, ho capito! Okay, I suggest this:
> it is an abandoned factory, but the infrastructure is all in place
or
> it is an abandoned factory, but the infrastructure is all set up
