In this week’s Quirky Question I asked “If someone wrote a book or movie about your life, what would they title it and why?”, below I’m going to put the answers for everyone to read. The real purpose of this is to get you guys some writing practice so please do take part if you want some free writing correction!

I guess it would be called my dream is alive because I hold on to myself though many friends of mine think it is unrealistic

English Correction:

I guess it would be called “My Dream is Alive” because I hold on to my dream even though many of my friends think it is unrealistic

Never let anyone tell you your dreams are unrealistic! Every will criticize what they can’t or wont do themselves and tell you you can’t do it either. The world is only changed by doing things other people thought was impossible!

I guess I can answer this question better when I get old. There will be too much uncertainty in my future life.

English Correction:

I think I will be able to answer this question better when I get old. There is still too much uncertainty in my future.

I say:

I would bet many of my students could guess what my movie would be called, “Such is Life!” though I’d prefer it in French “C’est La Vie!” as it sounds more interesting I think. I use this phrase a lot in my life and I think it is a great motto for life. Often there are things you can’t change and you just need to accept so you can say “Such is life!” and move on to things you can change instead.
