    Memory

    I miss walking on the beach, talking to my friends, remembering <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">our anecdotes</s> the fun times we had together, and laughing.

    Thank you for sharing. I only made one small correction to make what you wrote sound more natural. "Anecdote" isn't really used in this way. Instead, we could say "the fun times we had together," as I wrote in the correction or "remembering our stories."

    I hope you find this useful.

    Best,

    347 - Physical exercise

    1) How much exercise do you do a day or <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">a</s> week? What kind of exercises do you do?
    I usually exercise three to six days a week. I've tried many different exercises, but the one I prefer is running. Taking a run is one of my favourite parts of the day, and I try to be as <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">steady</s> consistent as possible over the week. I usually run at least 35 kilometers a week.

    2) What is your main reason for exercising? Do you enjoy it?
    The main reason that I run is I find it somehow cathartic. When I'm running I feel free. Free from work problems, free from stress, free from deadlines. Thus, I don't do it to stay fit, but because it has a very positive effect on my mind and attitude. While I'm running my head is unplugged. I stop thinking and the stress accumulated during the day wears off.

    3) If you were told you needed to do more regular exercise, what would you do?
    In this case, I would try to rearrange my time in order to be able to spend more of it exercising. I would try to add some new exercises to my usual schedule, although I know this is <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">something</s> might be difficult. I tried to do it in the past and it didn't work, but I didn't feel obligated. If I was told to exercise more, it would be completely different.

    Thanks for sharing this! I made only minor corrections, mostly to make what you wrote sound more natural. Good work.

    By the way, I feel the same way as you do about running.

    今日ラメン屋へ行きました。 私の町に新しいラメン屋が上開けました。家からレストランまで遠いですが、ラメンが大好きです。 そしてラメン屋に歩きました。まず真っ直ぐ行きました。信号機で右へ行って、５キロ先にラメン屋に着きました。 ビックリしました！ラメン屋は込みましたよ！アメリカ人は日本スタイルラメンが大好きだと思っています。

    Nowadays,there is a heated debate adout adout the high school in our class.Some likes to enter a boarding high school and and the others like to enter a day school.In my opnion,I prefer a day school to a boarding high school.If we enter a day school,we can avoid something unnecessary,such as argue with your roommate.Besides,you can also have more time with your parents.If you live in a school,although it is easy for you to go to the classroom,i think the enviroment in your dorm is not ideal enough to study.So I think a day school is better

    Hi w董,
    Thanks for telling us your story about your high school. In general, this was really well written. The corrections I've made were for the sake of clarity and natural-sounding speech. Please find my corrections below. If you have any questions about the corrections, please ask :)

Unfortunately, monitors thinking the complete group leave and forget the couple in the middle of the ocean. They will remain in the water during the day and night surrounded by sharks. It's horrible because this story is true. and i want say : What's happened this day ? How could they forget 2 people ?. I think it's horrible to dead like this. When i go diving, i'm thinkink about this movie.

     

    Hi Ambre,

    Thanks for your fun entry about "Open Water." I liked your story, and, generally, this notebook was well written. Please find my corrections below! Oh, and ask any questions if you have them :)

     

    I watched a movie called "Open Water." The story is about a couple on vacation who decide to go diving in the Bahamas. Unfortunately, the chaperones watching the group leave and forget the couple in the middle of the ocean. They remain in the water day and night, surrounded by sharks. It's horrible because this story is true, and I want to say, "What happened? How could they forget 2 people?" I think it's horrible to die like that. When I go diving, I'll be thinking about this movie.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    I am learning English, because I want to study in Canada.

     

    Correction:

    I am learning English because I want to study in Canada.

     

    Hello, Marina!

    Great job. Only one tiny error in your writing!

    - I removed the comma after "English" because it was unnecessary.

     

    Good job! Best of luck with your studies!

    -Charlie

    Dinosaures Je suis allé à la librairie aujourd'hui. J'ai acheté un livre des dinosaures en français parce-que je veux lire en français. Dans la livre, j'étudie les créatures préhistorique- le tyrannosaure et le ptérodactyle. Ils ont été les créatures grands. J'aime beaucoup les dinosaures.
