    I like winter holiday

    I like winter holiday very much, although it’s very short. The Spring Festival is interesting. I will have many things to eat and I will have new clothes. Besides, I can watch TV. I like cartoons. They are so interesting that I can watch them all the day. I have a new computer, so I can play games with my father. He promised to teach me. I will visit my relatives during the Spring Festival and I can get lucky money. Therefore, I can buy something I like. I have many much to buy. Winter holiday is wonderful.

    You can use both of them. We're Russian uses "Russian" as an adjective to describe the country you are from. We're Russians uses "Russians" as a noun to mean "people from Russia." Both phrases have similar meanings.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Hello everyone.

    I am a 22-year-old Japanese student learning international law and politics.
    Recently, I finished working on a graduation thesis about the extent to which democracy contributes to international peace in terms of international law.
    In the future, I want to work in the diplomatic field.

    I love traveling to foreign countries.
    Last year, I visited the India-Pakistan border and witnessed a thrilling parade of the raising of their national flags.
    Although the real purpose of the ceremony is to promote confidence-building between India and Pakistan,
    the strained relation of the two nuclear-capable nations made me fully aware that profound security studies from several perspectives are necessary to keep the fragile international peace from collapsing.

    In addition, I love Japanese comics and animes.
    I love the works of the Studio Ghibli, such as "Spirited Away," "Princess Mononoke," "Porco Rosso," and so on.
    A series of "Evangelion" is also my favorite.

    I believe in Buddhism as a member of SGI.

    Thank you.

     

    Fantastic job!


    This might have been a typographical error ("typo"), but Studio Ghibli is spelled with an "l" instead of an "r." Also, commas go inside quotation marks, so it would be written "Spirited Away," and not "Spirited Away", in English.


    I am not sure what you mean by "A series of 'Evangelion" is also my favorite," but if you are referring to a television show called "Evangelion," you would say "The TV show 'Evangelion,'" "The television series 'Evangelion,'" or something along those lines. If you're referring to a comic book series, you might want to say, "The comic book series 'Evangelion'" in order to be specific since the word series can refer to television as well.


    This was a really good introduction!

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Dear friends,

    I'm learning English. Although I've studied this language since primary school, I feel there's still a large lot of room for improvement. Especially after I've studied French, Spanish, German and Italian, I feel that my English has somehow deteriorated.

    I would like to find some English native speakers who could talk with me in depth on one topic, so I could enlarge increase my vocabulary and learn more phrases. I'd also like to find native speakers who speak French, Spanish, German or Italian. We could write or talk with each other and correct mistakes. As they say, practice makes perfect!

    I'm a vet students so I love animals. Biology has always been a great attraction for me. The more I learn about living things, the more I get interested in the mechanisms behind every function.

    My native language is Chinese, and I grew up in Beijing. So feel free to contact me if you're interested in Chinese language or culture.

     

    Fantastic! I do not think "a large room for improvement" or "enlarge my vocabulary" are wrong grammatically, but I corrected these phrases to sound more natural.

    embarrassing situation

    Imagine this scene: you park your car and walk to a destination where you are going to have a meeting. It starts raining. You don't want to get all wet! You are one mile away from the your car now, which is where the your umbrella is., and one mile away to from your destination. You have two choices: run back to the car and get the umbrella, or continue walking towards the building. You are going to get wet no matter what you choose to do!

     

    Fantastic job! While you were correct when you wrote "the car" and "the umbrella," since you are telling a story in the second person (you), it sounds more natural to use the corresponding possessive pronouns so it reads "your car" and "your umbrella."
