Nice to meet you too Melania!
I am a little jealous as I would love to visit Japan. I hope soon!
Let’s have a look at some corrections:
> in the Tuscany countryside ❌ (Tuscany is the name of the region)
> in the Tuscan countryside ✅ (Tuscan is the adjective)
> my preferite journey = my FAVOURITE
> beautiful cities and pretty experience ⚠️was⚠️ there.
Can you try and fix the verb?
Thanks Melania!

I found your essay interesting to read Lucia (I want to check out the two examples you mentioned). I too am fascinated and scared by it all. I don’t think we know the half of it!
I’ve posted your corrections to a google doc that I shared with you. I used the correction code. Have a go and try and fix the errors and I’ll help you with anything you can’t work out

That does sound like a pretty perfect weekend!
I prefer (missing word) eat out with my parents or my friends and usually go out around the city to explore it and go around (DELETE:for) exhibitions and visit museums.
During summer I love wake up early and go to the beach, and chilling…
The verbs like and love are particular verbs in English. When we talk about something we really enjoy, it’s common to use this structure:
I like + ING
So your phrase would be
During summer I love waking up early and going to the beach, and chilling…
Or, you can use I like + to + verb
During summer I love to wake up early and go to the beach, and chill…
This form is more common in American English, but both are correct

Hi Andrea,
These are good clarification questions.
> I’d put this one: I have some trouble following, did you said biscuits? in the present continuous: I’m having some trouble following, did you said biscuits?
>and a tweak to a preposition:
So, to me four words were unclear
Can you figure it out?! 🙌

Love this Manuela!
The only thing to change is a preposition!
> She is going up of 1 level > ✅ She is going up BY 1 level
I know…. prepositions suck!

Thank you for your thoughts Andrea. Yes, unfortunately I’ve had this kind of discrimination from English people more than once, but now that I’m older, I handle it much better!
Nicely written Andrea, I have a few tweaks to make, but very little. Well done!
> Well, I think that’s just the point: it’s not the accent in my opinion, is the mentality of people that link the accent with the origin of someone. You are missing an ‘it’ in this phrase. Can you figure out where it should go?
> You need a preposition: to be discriminated against
I’ve never been discriminated against because of my accent
> I have a bunch of uncles, aunts and cousins that lives❌ in Abruzzo and Lazio and they are afashinated about ❌ my accent, and me too about theirs.
✅ who live (“they”)
✅ fascinated with

Good!
Same thing from the other task, better to use past simple
Sorry Andrew, you have said “nudge”, have you?
Can you try and rewrite? 👍

Nice work @Manuela.Lelli
There are a few tweaks to make:
no.3 What you’ve written isn’t grammatically wrong. However, we would tend to just use the past simple in this situation: Sorry, I didn’t catch what you said
no.4 you are missing an ‘it’ – can you try and figure out where it should go?
no.6 perfect!
no.7 Similar to no.3. It sounds more natural to use the pst simple. Can you rewrite using past simple?
Thanks! ☺

@davide 👍 nice sentence!
To make it even stronger, you could also add the problem your company solves or the goal your clients want to reach:
Sintra Consulting srl creates and sells digital solutions with the purpose to lead customers through their digital transformation so that they can ….

It is ‘for me‘! Correct!
I think the way to be fluent is to do exactly that- just go with what feels natural. (Fluent doesn’t mean correct in this case! It means ‘communicative’)
Of course, if nobody tells you you are making a mistake, then you keep repeating that mistake (believe me – my achilles’ heel in Italian is prepositions. I tend to translate from English and I know it’s wrong to do that, but unless someone tells me the correct preposition I never learn!)

That’s it 👍

Sorry Andrew, you said “nudge”, didn’t you? 👍

Thanks Manuela.
On the question tag, if the first part is positive, the second part should be negative: You said 37%, didn’t you?

Nice @Gianni.Bianchi – much stronger 👍

Great! Much stronger @Davide.Mattesini 👍
