Hello I think the colons are needed to use in these following sentences: 1)I am from Peru: an enriched country to show you. 2)Well there was the time when I started to work at the Travel agency in account´s area: it was nice but too much work that I´ve thought. 3)I took a course where there was a software for traveling: very interesting topic. Please let me know if my identification was correct or not. Thank you.

Dear Sarah, Welcome. Hope it will be a great interacting session in the next two months. ‘I quit my job and joined in the English Institute in the same area: I thank God that I had a job through accounting but it wasn’t enough for me’ ‘ I finished it and I was wondering again: am I really happy working as an accountant? ‘ I like to study and learn more so the next step: I am going to take an International exam this year wish me luck.’

Hi Sarah! It's great to get acquaintance with you.Like you said we had a wintry and arctic weather for a couple of days, but today it's much better as is sunny and bright although the wind is a bit blustry.Did you make yourself get to work yeaterday? I am really looking forward to interacting with you and learing the magic language from you.

Hi Sarah, Welcome to the blog! I`ve been to Cambridge and its neighbourhood once, and I must admit that the place is lovely. I bet a village where you live is egually charming:) I tried to do the task, which you gave us. However, I`m not sure if I did it correctly:) 1. So Life brought me again my “English partner”: thanks God that my country has many sightseeing to visit and I prepared travel´s packages. 2. I finished it and I was wondering again: am I really happy working as an accountant? 3. I like to study more and learning more so the next step I´m going to take: an International Exam FCE this year wish me luck. Bye, bye Rose

Hello everyone here!I used to be a regular blogger, but then holiday started and I had some nice , busy resting days in Rio. As I live in the middle of the country, the news we get from Rio is just through the paper and tv. And these are usually just baaaadddd, really bad news!It was really nice to be there for almost a month observe that it is not just bad news and violence! We had nice peaceful days there. Well, Im happy to be back and ready to solve Sarah´s challenge for us: According to the explanation I believe these would be the other 3 sentences; 1.'I think when we are young we start to make our own decisions: what a tough point!!!!') (Explain how you feel about making your own decision.) 2.'I finished it and I was wondering to myself again: am I really happy working as an accountant?' (Explain what you are wondering) 3.'I like to study more and learn more so the next step is to take an International Exam FCE this year: wish me luck.' Tricky thing to spot the sentences!

Hellow Sarah, what´s up? I tried to do "the homework", I hope I didn´t wrong so much. My answers are:1)I usually talk with foreign people which I really love cause: I could speak and knew amazing people and countries through them, even I haven´t travelled abroad yet. That´s the magic of English,2)I´m from Peru: an enriched country to show you, 3)I finished it and I was wondering again: am I really happy working as an accountant?

Hello Sarah, I'm going to be one of your fellow netizens. I've found your post really interesting and informative. I noticed you are a very good grammarian. I read everything carefully. I'm keen on grammar, but it has one fault: the more you learn the more questions you have to ask. I'm afraid that at one point I notice I know nothing. But before it happens could you, please, explain to me if this sentence is correct: 'What I plan to do is post a list of definitions every two weeks'. Should I put 'to' in front of 'put' or I shouldn't or maybe it doesn't matter. Could you help please?

Hi Sarah, It's a innovation of this blog that you taught us in the punctuations. You said that (At least, my dreams came true) = At last, my dreams came true. I have a question for it, Does it make sense that if I say "At least, my dreams came true"? What I mean is: If I say "At least. my dream came true." could people understand my meaning? Or, if I say " My dream came true at least." or " My dream at least came true." Is it a correct sentence in English? Could people understand what I was talking about? If I want to emphasize the meaning of "at least" in this case, what should I say in English? Or,should I replace "at least" with "in any event""anyway"? Such as: In any event, my dream came true."" Anyway, my dream came true." I assume that the true meaning of Lily use the phrase "at least" was that she wanted to said that her dream came true in any event(anyway). Best regards, James.

Hi Sarah, great to meet you!!! I've been reading and rereading Lily's text and I haven't found no more places for use colons. However I realised that the composition needs the use of points, comas and perhaps the most needed is the use of paragraphs. A paragraph helps a lot to understant the text and to catch the real thought of the writer. See you, Toni.

Hi Sarah, I am kind of new in this blogging, a little bit technofobic and clumsy by nature.I just wan to say that you have a clear structure (and here I encounter the same difficulty) which/that I admire. Which one to chose? I haven't read the text thoroughly, but this one sticks in the eye: "I finished it and I was wondering again: am I really happy working as an accountant?".Regards, Diana

Hello Sarah, thank you for interesting lesson for us. I hope that the other 3 places, in which colons should be, are the following: 1.Then I quite my job and again I worked at English Institute in the same area: I'm thankful God that through accounting I had job but it wasn't enough for me. 2.I finished it and I was wondering again: am I really happy working as an accountant? 3. I was looking for a jod and I entered at an English Institute for being an English teacher: at last, my dream comes true!
