Don't you mean "I'm yours" or "I'm with you" ?
It seems to me you gotta write an apostrophe before "till" since it's a shortcut to say "until" (well, I don't know if it's a real rule, but I would write it that way)

Yup, "I'm with you", it's a mistake I'm doing all the time, but never on purpose ... u_u
Anyway, I don't think that the apostrophe is a rule but you're right, I should write one
Thx

[Season]

That's what I thought too
And, the "you're my longest relationship" seems a bit weird to me, I think it's grammaticaly (shit, I don't know how to spell this word, one m or two? ) correct but I don't know if an actual English would say that. Maybe "You're the only one I have stayed this long with" or... idk, I'll let the other girls say what they think about it, It's time for me to go write my philosophy essay

I need your help guys! (Okay, I'm a bit "too much here" these days haha.)
Is it correct?
"You're my longest relationship, my best friend, my first love, my twin brother, I'm with your since the beginning and I'll be there till the end."

Anyway, when you get the "your" thing corrected... it's kinda cute, I mean, this sentence

It makes sense because it's not meant to be send to an actual person. And it includes so much things I just can't say it like that. Plus the "You're the only one I have stayed this long with" is too heavy. I want a short sentence

Thx Tracy Jacks

My parents just signed the check which will pay the FCE (First Certificate in English from the University of Cambridge) ...
I'm scaaaaaarred, even if my English teacher is in love with me ...

High five, I'm exactly in the same situation as you right now (except the fact that I am in love with my english teacher, but don't tell anyone) ! I'm sure it would be a cake walk for such a smart girl like you.

My art section suggested me to travel around England during a whole week in February : Chester, Bath, London, Leicester, Liverpool... It sounds so freakin' awesome, but it also means I'll miss about 6 days of work... But as my friend says, you gotta take the risk if you wanna get the biscuit, right ?

I just wrote an e-mail to my host mother. It feels great to write in English again, should do it more often. And a student teacher came to our english class the other day, she's from Manchester, she's got such a cute accent! It's really different from the Australian one I'm used to...

[lastgirlstand]

I'm studying English and Spanish this year so this thread is perfect. I've always been in love with English, since I started to learn it when I was 12, at school. I've been several times in England, I had a british boyfriend for few months (good way for staying in England for less money actually!) and I would love to be a English to French translator later... This is a passion, I love listening somebody talking English, writting it,... I prefer English accent rather than the American one, don't know why.. It sounds better!

[Loraline]

I didn't heard of this part in Mad', i'm fuckin' love it !

[Aukazul]

Ow. I'm feeling so ridiculous when I read your posts ! My english is so bad. I'd like to speak like you all do

(I'm sure this simple sentence is full of mistakes )

I absolutely love her lameness. The dog is lost in the fog is absolutely great, perfect mixture of a chav trying to talk in RP...

Mesdmoizelles bilingues, comment diriez-vous "je m'imagine bien", dans le sens "je m'imagine bien faire ceci, ou être cela" ... ?

Picture oneself !

[Foraday]

Wow, some of you really know speaking english... I don't dare to post here ; excepted for this post of course.

No one's talkin here anymore, ya?
Are ya alive mates?

Just wanna talk with my shitty english haha.
Plus I'm talkin like a chav. In my own fuckin dead. I'm such a dick.

Nathan, get out of this body RIGHT NOW !

I'm sick, I sneeze every two seconds, my nose itches, I always have a package of used tissues beside me, I feel weak and meaningless.Ugh !

The english assistant told me I was creepy today
She asked my class to write on a piece of paper what were the five things we couldn't live without, everyone said "Love, my friends, my family, a house, enough money to live" and I said something like "Kittens, gigs, my iPod, awkward jokes and thai food". I felt quite alone.
But I had my revenge when she said that she used to love milk and put ice cubes in her bottles to get it almost frozen all the time. I shouted and I was like "WHO'S FREAKY NOW, UH ?". Haha. Great day.

I would have said "my teddy bear" first, then the Internet.

At least, freaks are unique, celebrate the difference !

Who can live without awkward jokes seriously?

At least, you didn't answer "justin bieber, twilight, my best friends, gossip girl, shopping" like most of my students....

I just discovered something a few days ago: grapes don't have seeds in England and they think it's completely normal! British people really don't know how to it properly... (and if you want to impress(seduce?) a British guy just make some crèpes, they think it's really refined and complicated to do :wink

[Iron Maven]

I think i'm going to post here more. I miss speaking english, which is totally paradoxal as my minor is english, and i have four different english classes a week.
And i always feel awkward when i have to speak to native english speakers, i always think "oh god, i'm soooo going to make mistakes and have a stupid accent". XD

Why the hell are people scared of british hooligans ?
Me and my art class saw a group on the parking area near Birmingham, yesterday. I was just thinking of marrying them all (this may come from my love for the people born to annoy) when the whole bus started to panic as the guys were shouting near us, holding an enormous english flag.
Okay, they have this peculiar smell of tobacco and beer. Okay, they are noisy. Okay, they have massive bodies. But as long as you don't say out loud that West Ham sucks, they won't kill you. Damn, people are so paranoid.

It was a beautiful image to see those guys so proud of their country. I would love to feel the same about France.

Les filles, je fais un dialogue pour la semaine avant les vacances et je suis pas sûre de mon intro ! Si vous pouviez corriger les éventuelles grosses fautes, ou si vous avez des propositions pour la rendre meilleure, ça serait cool, merci !

"After hearing the news about the Jasper, the narrator and two soldiers sat on a rock, they looked at the ocean in silence. Theirs eyes were turned toward the horizon, they listened to the sound of waves. Suddenly, the narrator broke this heavy silence."

Par exemple j'hésite entre "the sound of waves" ou "the waves sound", ou entre "looked at" et "watched" des choses comme ça !

[Rain]

Tant que j'y suis, je soumet à celles qui veulent bien me le corriger la suite de mon dialogue ! Si vous voyez de meilleurs usages de temps, de meilleures tournures de phrases, n'hésitez pas. ^^

- «This turnaround situation is so strange. It's incredible.
I don't understand how this could happen ! I thought I'd have seen everything in war but life's so unpredictable...» the narrator began quietly.

- «Yes, it is. As they say, "Don't put the cart before the horse" ! Who'd have expected ? We were jealous of Symes, we said "Symes is lucky, he goes at home. The nightmare is over for him" we hated him, and now ... Now he's dead.» an other soldier replied bitterly.
«He was courageous, wasn't he ?»

- «Yes, he was. I regretted my behavior !» the third soldier whispered reluctantly.

- «So do I. Latest feelings that we've had for him were negatives. I find us unfair, I hated Symes but his reaction was so understandable. He opposed the colonel, he admitted to being a coward to preserve his life and probably also to preserve his family. We all wanted to be like him, we all wanted to stay alive ! But he is dead.» the narrator declared crossly.

Voilà, c'est tout pour le moment ! Je posterai la fin plus tard parce que je le finirai en fin d'après-midi.
