There are some things that I do every day. It's kinda like a routine for me to do these things and it really helps you to structure your day a bit. Like drinking a glass of orange juice, checking your e-mails or listen to your favourite music. Well...I don't know what to write cause this task is soooo boring...I think this is enough for now... ;)

Hello Julia! This is an excellent example of a conversation with someone that you had recorded! I have only changed some words to conform to the requirements of the exercise!
I can fully understand your last couple of sentences, and wholeheartedly agree with you!!!I have found some of these exercise to be a pain.
Good luck! Geoff.

Hello Julia,
Arvonius has already made the necessary corrections. As for the last couple of sentences, please take my advice: WRITE WHATEVER YOU FEEL LIKE WRITING!!! (I can tell you from experience that it really works! :-)) Best regards, Lachifa
Thank you both for your help! :)
@Lachifa: That's a good advice! ;)

Great job! To avoid confusion, it's good to talk about 1 subject in a sentence. To explain this better...
"It's kinda like a routine for me to do these things and it really helps you to structure your day a bit." In this sentence, you start off talking about yourself but then switch to talking about others "you." This is a really simple fix though.
You could say "It's kind of like a routine for me to do these things and it really helps to structure my day a bit." All I did was take out the "you" and replace it with my where it was needed.
However, if you want to talk about the other person instead of yourself then you might have to change the whole writing to fit the subject. "There are some things that others do everyday. It's kind of like a routine for them to do these things and it really helps to structure their day a bit."
I really hope I explained it okay and it's understandable. If not, just let me know and I'll take another shot at it. It's kind of hard to get the hang of I think.
As for your writing like "kinda" instead of kind of and "cause" instead of because, I think that just means you are quite comfortable writing english and you should be! Your english is amazing! Just as long as you know how to properly say it, it'll be just fine! Keep up the good work!
Oh, one more thing... "favourite" is the UK spelling I think, in the USA it's mostly "favorite" but some people here use the UK spelling... I didn't know if you knew that or not but figured it would be interesting to know. Another word I know like that is "colour" in UK and "color" here.
Have a great day!

Well done, Julia! If I were to have been asked I would have said that this submission was written by an American, apart from the word 'favourite', that is. In particular, 'soooo' is soooo US of A.
You write as if you are transcribing what you say, which is not a bad thing, in my opinion. Especially as I write in the same way. Sometimes you write phrases, instead of complete sentences, Just like me.
The grammar police would accuse you of the omission of an 'ing' after 'listen'. They're the letters of the law.
Grrr, I'm cleaning out my inbox and I find this, I can't believe I missed it! Everyone has already touched on everything...UK vs. US spelling, "kinda" and "cause" being spoken not written, listening (we just got done talking about this in one of my English classes, parallel language), und so weiter.
Personally, I write "cuz" instead of "cause." :)
Tschüss!
perfect!! :)
perfect!! :)
We are conditioned into accepting instructions to write passages which are convenient for language examiners. (Cars are designed for the convenience of production, not use.) In a foreign country, we shall need the equivalents of the phrases which we use every day in our own lands. Identify these and write them, giving us a little background.
In the clock shop: How much is a new battery for this watch? - If I fit it, it is seven pounds, but at the market, you can buy a card of forty batteries for one pound fifty, and fit one yourself if you have a penknife. Over a year, you can fit most of the other thirty-nine to the watches of your friends, and the larger batteries will fit your camera, and your key-ring torch.
The sole has come off my new shoe. Have you some insulating tape with which I can fix it, preferably green, the same colour as the shoe, so that I can continue to wear it?
How do you aproach someone who might benefit from your help?
The post-office, the library, the tobacconist's, the hair-dresser's, given as landmarks in the language exercises, have no distinguishing features. Can you describe the buildings in a manner which suits the real world? (Each country has its own range of signs for different trades, and colours for mail-boxes and litter-bins.)
Can you discover the cheaper rates for travel on a train? A return ticket may be cheaper than a single. There are different rates if the journey is booked in advance. Does your student card affect the price? Can you "adopt" other travellers and buy a "family" ticket?
It is much cheaper to buy a superior second-hand bicycle, than it is to hire a simple one for the day. Where can you see private advertisements for unwanted bicycles? Can you discuss the price?
