Pessimism

English as a Second Language What do you want to talk about?

Hello,

Sorry to sound so depressed and I don’t want you to feel too down today. But now it’s time to talk about the other side of the coin - pessimism. Frightfully sorry if it makes you feel fed up.

Hello dear Alan.
you have very well dipped your brush in negative shades and dabbed the pessimistic mental landscape with generous strokes of sordid paint.It pays well to be pessimistic if only one can look into the unalloyed black side of life
thanks

Hello Allan
By reading this history about the pessissim facts, it was a great remembrance for me. You know when in some time of the life you are facing to problem that could have solution you could become pessimiste. I have this experience in my life during the civil war without economic activities in the country when all “Things are going from bad to worse” and the national economy has hit rock bottom .During this time I wasn’t fell myself, I was very pessimist. But today after peace restoring I am very optimist that and say that w’ll develop.
The world pessimism is opposite to optimism. Today

Everyone will meet pessimism in life. It’s natural. Life is running 24 hours everyday and who knows what happens tomorrow. It is also the color of everyone’s chores.

Hi Alan Sir,
The Essay "PESSIMISM’ was good I should not say, because your essay tittle is
pessimism, I should say bad. You have used many idioms which I never used before.
Alan Sir Why shouldn’t say things are going from bad to best instead of telling
things are going from bad to worse. Really I am not feeling myself to-day,after
reading your eassy it has doubled my feeling.
Thank you

Hi Hayaan,
This is how a native English speaker might have written your message:
Yesterday afternoon at 4:30pm I went to the sports ground. There were only 4 young men training and I jogged for a few minutes, then I introduced myself to the youths. After some time another group came, which was fully prepared. They were very strong. I have never seen even one of them before.

Points to note:
The preposition ‘on’ is not used before ‘Yesterday afternoon’,
‘The sports ground’ or ‘the training field’. Field + ground would not be used.
‘Training themselves’ is not a natural expression here.
‘Make a jogging’ and ‘do a jogging’ are wrong.
‘Sometime’ and ‘some time’ are different expressions. Here you need the latter, which means ‘after a little time had passed’.
‘Another’ is one word.
The last part doesn’t make sense unless you add something more. I have guessed at your meaning and added ‘before’.

Thank you very much I really find all my mistakes, please tel me the difference between ‘Sometime’ and ‘Some time’ and of course I mean 'after a little time had passed
I really like the way you have written
Thank you very much
