In the kitchen

Describe the kitchen utensils that you can see in the photograph.

I'll show you a microwave. You can see it in the first photograph. Take a good look and remember it. It's unnecessary, harmful, and useless device. Trash it or sell it. I'll not repeat it more than this: Thanks to all the wives and mothers who don't buy it.
*****
For a change now I recommend you a great device. In the second photograph is shown a white blender. Color is not important. It's important that it'll help you work in the kitchen and to enjoy a good and healthy meal.
*****
Finally, I would like to say about a device, which is indispensable in the kitchen. I mean a refrigerator. You can see it in the third photograph. This looks like an energy-efficient equipment.
In any case, don't buy another refrigerator, that's my advice.

I'll show (Let me point out to) you a microwave. You can see it in the first photograph. Take a good look and remember it. It's an unnecessary, harmful, and useless device. Trash it or sell it. I'll not repeat it any more (than this). (I will say it but once.) Thanks to all the wives and mothers who don't buy (have not bought) it (why not husbands and fathers too?). ***** For a change now, I recommend to you a great device. In the second photograph [is shown = very good, but I do not like the passive voice:)] there is a white-color blender. The color is not important. [It's = OK too] What is important is that it'll help you (do your) work in the kitchen and [to] help you enjoy a good and healthy meal. ***** Finally, I would like to say something about a device that is indispensable in the kitchen - I mean a refrigerator. You can see it in the third photograph. This looks like an energy-efficient equipment (model). In any case, don't buy [another] any other kind of refrigerator. That's my advice.

Super. I wonder what the other reviewers will think of your recommendations. As to your English, you have forcefully and efffectively conveyed your message.

Phrases:

As to your English - Jeśli chodzi o twój angielski

as to

przyimek

co do, jeśli chodzi o

I am not sure as to how it happened. (Nie jestem pewny co do tego, jak to się stało.)

I'll not repeat it any more (than this). = I will say it but once.

Thanks to all the wives and mothers who don't buy it.

Thanks to all the wives and mothers who don't have bought it.

I recommend to you.

In the second photograph there is a white-color blender. "there is" lepiej użyć niż "is shown"

The color isn't important.

What is important is that it'll help you (do your) work in the kitchen and [to] help you enjoy a good and healthy meal.

Finally, I would like to say something about a device that is indispensable in the kitchen - I mean a refrigerator.

This looks like an energy-efficient model.

In any case, don't buy any other kind of refrigerator.

"why not husbands and fathers too?"

I can't believe I had to be very tired to write those words above.
I think you're absolutely right ( Indeed I think you're right about that.)
This is a gross negligence on my part. (This is a serious oversight on my part.)
I didn't really mean that.

Well and truly... My thanks go also to those all men (to husbands, fathers, brothers, etc..) who have not bought that device. :-))) I say loud and clear: THANK YOU
Please forgive me, and I apologize for the oversight.
Can I somehow make amends for my behaviour?

Very good English. I think at this stage it would be worth your while to concentrate on the use of the English articles - whenever you read English, note their use.

"It's an unnecessary device" : we would never omit the indefinite article in such a sentence with a noun in the singular. You will of course see "These are unnecessary devices".

You should also observe the use of uncountable nouns, such as "equipment" in your last sentence. Because such nouns are uncountable, we cannot say "an equipment" but must say "a piece of equipment".

Because your English is excellent, it is worth paying attention to these details.

Perhaps consumers instead of wives and mothers (to avoid sexism and include everyone)

I have replaced equipment with device because you are speaking about devices.

Your English is fantastic.I'm having trouble understanding why you're studying it when you could be teaching!

Dear Clarelydia,

Thank you for your remarks.

I truly appreciate what you wrote about my writing skills in English [my English writing skills], but you should believe me, that most of the sentences [I'm writing now] I write for the first time in my life.
I use a lot of different dictionaries on the internet to check the meaning and use of words or phrases.
If you think I write sufficiently well for you to hail me as a teacher, my only reaction can be to be happy that I have taken the right path in my education.
Help me to persevere!

This does not mean that I can write fluently in English like [as?] I do (it) in Polish.
My every exercise [essay] in English is paid for with hard work.
I want to speak and write freely in English as well as I want to read and understand.

The truth is that (BrE) sometimes I'm home and alone, and sometimes I'm a failure.
I look carefully through every comment, and I try to improve every time and (to) do better in the next exercise.

I hope that my hard work will be appreciated and rewarded someday.
I hope one day I'll note that "All that hard work and determination really paid off".

Thank you for your help.

Dziękuję Krystynko ;)

Tak, wiem, że to dość kontrowersyjne posunięcie pisać w ten sposób o mikrofalówkach, kiedy prawdopodobnie 90% Amerykanów używa ich :) Nie wiem zaś, jak jest z użytkowaniem tego urządzenia w innych krajach :)
