THE CORRECTIONS AGAIN (M Jose)

Hi everyone! How it´s going?

As I told you this morning, I wrote each correction in the corresponding text, because I thought it´s better for us if we have the original text nearer, but if someone doesn´t want to look for it, I also copy here.

The following correction corresponds to a text of April called María José rewrites Eliseo´s story.

I´m not going to write the full text because it´s so long, I´ll just write the setences that need correcting, ok?
1. From María José´s text:
Hi Everyone: I´m going to rewrite Eliseo´s text, with corrections Karen made. At least, I´ll try!...
Instead of "When he becomes rich and go out from the wardrobe", we say "When he becomes rich and COMES OUT of the wardrobe". And in the same paragraph, instead of "...to make a trip to Florence" we say "to TAKE a trip to..."
Next paragraph, the last sentence, I wrote "I hope Carmen ignore it" and I forgot the "S", so, it´s "I hope Carmen IGNORES it" (unforgivable mistake, sorry).
Next paragraph, about Miriam I wrote "...the change must be for blue not for redish" and the correct form is "Miriam should go for blue highlights not for reddish ones".
And finally, about Eliseo, instead of "Eliseo is a bit crazy but we appreciated him", we say "Eliseo is a bit mad but we still apreciate him, do we?".

2. Regarding the comment by Carmen:
Instead of "...To go to Scotland for a trip you could be our another teacher..." we say "to go ON a trip you could be our OTHER teacher..." and "if Miriam goes to SPA" would be "If Miriam goes to A spa".
And the last sentence "I think that Eliseo is a bit clampsy but he is improving her english and he wants we were interested in blog", would be "I feel that Eliseo is a bit clumbsy but he is imporving his English. He also wants us to be interested in the blog"

3. About Miriam´s comment, Karen has written:
I want to thank Marijo and congratulate her for her good English (I (Karen) gave her the corrections!!). I feel one has to accept your high level in English and try to be less jealous as it is damaging to one´s health.If he doesn´t change he will not come to the cinema with us nor to the SPA either.
Thanks to Carmen for being Carmen. She is as good that has an excuse for Eliseo. You are more than a woman, you are a Saint!
Thanks to Karen for consoling me.
You are all the best mates I could ever have. Bye.

Well, I think that´s all. I hope not to have many mistakes.



Now, these corrections corresponds to a text from Eliseo called The Exam!! (of April too).

The last paragraph, instead of "Finally I remember to all people that payday is today althought I don´t agree with Karen. I am thinking that Marijo an me are working as secretaries and we have to pay less money. Still Karen can invite us to GIN FIZZ " is "Finally, I REMIND EVERYONE that today is payday. However/Although, I don´t agree with Karen because I believe Marijo and I are working as secretaries and so have a right to pay less!! Karen could buy us a GINFIZZ instead!!

About Miriam´s comment, Karen said "Eliseo could be a conference/congress shorthand typist".

And regarding Carmen´s comment, Karen said "This is an effective way to remember what we learn at English class".

That´s all folks.
