I'm looking for language partners to help me with my Japanese. I'm happy to help with English. I have a trip to Japan planned for later this year so I need to practice! I'm a software developer in Indiana and I enjoy learning new things. When I have time, I enjoy watching anime and playing music. Hope to hear from you soon. :-D

    Just copying existing English can be done without thinking too much about it. It might help a little, but you'll need to analyze what you are copying to really learn. Ask yourself "why was it written that way?" while you copy it. Translating something in your native language to English might be better. You will be forced to think about it more. Or you can choose a topic and write something totally new.

    Were there multiple rooms emptied? All cold rooms are empty and all material has been shifted to the external cold store. Just one room emptied? The cold room is empty and all material has been shifted to the external cold store.

    "a" is used when the noun following it is not specific. A cat purred. or The cat purred. Ask which cat? It doesn't matter which cat. Use "a" A specific cat. The brown one that is usually here. Use "the" Don't forget, sometimes instead of "a" you'll need to use "an". But that's another question altogether! Hope this helps!

    The phrase "got my head on straight" means you know what you are doing. No distractions. Thinking clearly.

    I'm not sure you need "tribute". It was such a lovely piece that it literally cured my sprained wrist while listening to it. A tribute means an act or item made to respect and admire something else. I'm not sure that was the intended meaning in your sentence unless the music you are listening to was written to respect something else. Possibly written in the same style, but not the original. If that is the case, then "The tribute to the lovely piece literally cured my sprained wrist while listening to it."

    I don't think I would use either version. It's more natural to say any of these instead "There is nothing at home" - By itself, this means there is literally nothing at home. The house is empty. If the listener has more context, it could mean there nothing of a specific item. "There aren't any at home" - This assumes the listener knows what item you're talking about. "There aren't any [item name] at home" - This indicates what is not at home.

    "apple geeks" refers to the people who are very knowledgeable about Apple Products (iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc.) "selling point" means one item on a list of reasons why the products is worth buying. For instance, here is an example list of selling points of an iPhone. Lots of apps available Long battery life Very stylish. etc.

    You're making the other passengers just a little .... While you could use 'annoyed' or 'bothered' in this case, I would change the sentence to read You are bothering the other passengers. or. You are disturbing the other passengers. Similar to the previous sentence, 'annoyed' and 'bothered' could work, but in this case I would also change it to. You're making the other members of the audience just a little ......... But again, the structure sounds more nature if you say it like this. You are bothering the other members of the audience.
