- Ciao! Ben fatto il documentario; anzi, mi vien quasi da piangere, vedere sempre piu gli stessi problemi della Serenissima - per ora sono a Londra per studiare, pero un giorno spero di tornare a Venezia, che considero sempre come domicilio.Se mi permette, ho qualche piccola considerazione da fare sulla grammatica del testo introduttivo del video :"A city is not only a combination of streets and buildings,(but)its beauty (lays on) the people that live (it) and populate it every day,that is the real soul of a city."I suggest you don't use 'but' here - it would be more usual to use the semi-colon; likewise you only need to use the pronoun 'it' once, and 'lie with' rather than 'lays on' (lay and lie are much confused by native speakers as well!). So you would normally have the following :"A city is not only a combination of streets and buildings; its beauty lies with the people that live and populate it every day, ....(etc)"Hope this helps!(If you like, I can also help you with the spoken part)Thanks again for a great documentary, e buona serata!Juliahttps://the-dots.com/users/julia-lw-397701
