Typhoon 12
The typhoon 12 did not cause big damage to Tokyo. The weather report said that it would arrive at Tokyo on Sunday 20. Our company canceled the big meeting on Friday. However Sunday 20 was a sunny day. The typhoon have already passed. By the way, Japanese people give the number to the typhoon such as 12, 13..... while Americans use the women's name including Hurricane Katrina. Women's name sounds more scary than number!

Typhoon 12
The Typhoon 12 did not cause any big damage to Tokyo. The weather report said that it would arrive at Tokyo on Sunday the 20th. Our company canceled the big meeting on Friday. However *1 Sunday 20 was a sunny day. The typhoon had already passed. By the way, Japanese people give a number to each typhoon such as 12, 13, etc., while Americans use *2 women's names including Hurricane Katrina. Women's names sounds more scary than a number!*1 - Repeating "the 20th" is redundant here since you have already mentioned earlier that Sunday was "the 20th" so I recommend removing it.
*2 - We actually name our hurricane's using both men's and women's names.
Good job and keep up the good work!

The Typhoon 12 did not cause a lot of damage to Tokyo. The weather report said that it would arrive at Tokyo on Sunday the 20th. Our company canceled the big meeting on Friday. However Sunday 20 was a sunny day. The typhoon had already passed. By the way, Japanese people give the number to the typhoon such as 12, 13..... while Americans use the women's name including Hurricane Katrina. Women's names sounds more scary than a number!This is well put Yumiko, and I'm glad that 東京 avoided some of the damage.
In English, when we talk about calendar dates, we often put it in full, like 'Sunday the 20th [twentieth] of May', for example. In your example it's okay to omit the 月 because we're talking in the present tense.
Otherwise, very good! がんばって。
