COMMON MISTAKES.

Always, when we do our texts, we make mistakes. There are a lot of common mistakes with us, so I will put some of them.
Sometimes, we can confuse these words: dead (the adjective), died (the noun) and death (the verb). For example, died people it’s incorrect, we must put dead people. It was a common mistake in Frankenstein’s exam. I think that I was one of the persons who did this mistake.
Like the previous mistake, we confuse life (the noun) with live (the verb), and I think that I’m one of the persons who did this mistake too! We must have clear that the plural of life is lives.
Another common mistake with us is the demostratives. Sometimes we change this with these, for example this investigations it’s incorrect, and we must put these investigations.
When we expose our opinions, sometimes, we did this mistake: I’m agree with…, and we must put I agree with. I recognize that I was one of the persons that did this mistake, but I use it usually, so I think that I improved this mistake. Now, when I write something I remember it, and I don’t do this mistake.
At the beginning, when we didn’t know anything about the connecting files, we put “on the one hand”, and now, we know that we must put,” on the other hand”, because usually, we use this connector and we know a little bit more about connecting files.
Well, I think that these mistakes are the more important that we did in this second term, and we commented in class, so I decided to do a revision to improve more all these mistakes.

BEING A CELEBRITY IS A GREAT THING?

In these moments, there are a lot of people who his dream is to be a famous. The first impression that all the people have about the famous people are that they have a lot of money, but being a celebrity doesn’t have only positive points.

First of all, the best points that celebrities have is that they have a lot of money. Mainly, this is the point that does that all the people want to be a celebrity. Moreover, they have big houses, a lot of expensive things; they travel around the world without thinking with the money that it will cost.

Apart from the advantages they didn’t have private life. Always they have persons who are following them. Furthermore, the press invents things that aren’t real, for example, when a famous going out with a friend, the press always does suppositions, like: A new partner is here!, when the celebrities, the only thing that they are doing it’s meet with their friends.

In my opinion, I think that being a celebrity it’s bad, because if you can’t have private life, and be happy with your family without interruptions, it isn’t a good life. I prefer don’t have a lot of money and have more private life than celebrities.
