    Nice to meet you @Jessica.Caneschi

    I would like to live near the sea too!

    Some notes:

    > a town in Tuscany (we don’t use ‘the’ for cities or regions)

    > I have been working in Sintra FOR 7 years

    > I usually do sport 3 timeS a week

    👌

    Me too! It is totally my sense of humour!

    This is exactly what I wanted you to do. 👍

    The last phrase > ME: Sorry Adam, we should do what to her? (with the intonation on ‘what’)

    Good Lucia!

    Good work here @Lu_Corde

    Here are some suggestions:

    4. Instead of Sorry a piece of clarification … better> Sorry, just to clarify …

    5. You should use a phrasal verb here: You are using a word that I’m not making out,

    7. Can you try and rewrite this?! 😚

    8. …. after having picked up Jenny?

    Just one note:

    > but the most important requisites to resist (delete:to) boredom are;

    ps. You must try Better Things – I think it is pure dead brilliant and I think you’d like it!

    A few tweaks to make:

    2. Would instead of could

    6. cheating ON her (to cheat on someone)

    8. spelling > then ✅ Jenny

    Nice to meet you Francesco!

    I like your philosophy (especially points 3 and 5 – I can relate😂)

    English is good 👍 In fact 1, delete ‘the’ before Sintra. We don’t use ‘the’ in front of names

    > I work for an IT company, sintra digital business, based in Arezzo.

    > French and English need a capital letter

    > I when used as the pronoun should always have a capital letter too: I’m trying, I don’t like etc

    🤗

    That sounds like a pretty awesome weekend @Riccardo.Gai

    Good job! 💪

    Please see the corrections and just ask if you need clarification

    > AT the weekend i usually prefer CYCLING, because it takes more time than a run.

    > Instead IN the afternoon, i would stay in, TO relax reading a book, watching Netflix.

    @Cristiana.Starnotti this is good work.

    Here you’ll find some suggestions to make things sound more natural:

    2. Take away ‘that’ – it’s more fluent: Good morning everyone and sorry I’m late.

    3. Replace Excuse me with – sorry about that

    I just saw that I muted some of you accidentally. Sorry about that, now everyone can hear you.

    4. Word order: Sally, I can only see your browser window.

    👍

    @Mattia.Rosi this is good.

    I have a question: do Sintra create digital products for all kinds of companies? Or only companies that do e-commerce?

    @Diego.Magionami thank you for sharing – absolutely true about the States. I’ve noticed this in TV series, such as The Wire, where sometimes I needed to put subtitles. I think it makes life more interesting to abandon our idea of a ‘correct’ English, especially the one taught here in schools – as you’ve said, it is rarely used!

    Diego, this is nicely written. Here are some notes to help you improve:

    > when we say countries that are ‘plural’ we always need to use ‘the’, the UK, the US, the Netherlands etc (Plus watch your verb agreement) : I wasn’t aware that in THE UK there WERE so many accents

    > Actually I don’t care about accents AS LONG AS they don’t hinder communication

    until is not correct here, we can’t use it like ‘finche: “As long as [x]” means that the condition will be met when [x] ends.”Until [x]” means that the condition will be met when [x] begins.

    Let me know if this isn’t clear.

    > I feel quite annoyed when someone use a local accents …. can you try and correct this phrase? 👍
