I love my children a lot
I like pizza a lot
I enjoy music a lot
I dislike work very much

Tengo que escribir mas español para que tu puedas corregírme también.

"Corregirme" no tiene tilde.

Well, if that's the only mistake, I'm quite chuffed.

El problema en mi país no está tanto en los profesores como en el sistema educativo. Es penoso, la verdad. No a nivel universitario, sino en la educación obligatoria.

You're welcome, Crotalito . I like a lot Dickens, I don't know if you have ever heard about him (maybe you know something about Oliver Twist, his most famous novel). Es triste pero muy tierno

Thank you Irmamar.

It's important to know, I can find people like you that precisely helps to the others.

I know something about Olive twist, because just I saw movie about him before, in fact I liked the movie.

Please you telling me something more about Oliver.

I listen you.

Thanks Perikles. You do me a great favour with your corrections .

When I was writing "setting me in the context" I wasn't sure if it was correct. I'd like to know it (I meant "situarme en el contexto")

Yes, I'm expecting you to write in Spanish, so I'll come running to correct you!

Well, I saw the film years ago, too. And also a lot of years have passed since I read the book. But I remember Oliver was a child whose mother died when he was born and he must live in an orfanage. There he goes hungry and lives a sad life until he goes to learn a job: he's learning to be a thief. I can't explain anymore because I would spoil you book

I hope "a lot of years" is good

No, it isn't.

Perikles? ¿Todavía no te atreves a escribir en español?

Why can't I say "a lot of years"? Yes, I know I could use "many", but I'm sure I've ever seen "a lot of years" for "un montón de años" (puedo decir "un montón de años" o "muchos años", en español es lo mismo)

No sé, pero no se dice. Tal vez "many, many years"

De verdad "a lot of years" se usa mucho. En un poquito informal y parece
muy americano
