- 오늘 날씨 오늘 여름 같은 날씨 좋았어요. 근데 오늘밤에 너무 슬퍼요. "아... 다음달에 겨울이 정말 시작할거에요?" 지금은 그렇게 생각해요. ㅠㅠ 겨울의 날씨 정말 추워 죽겠다. 싫어요... I had difficulty deciding if I should try using a slang phrase I learned over a year ago with the help of a Korean friend..."____ 죽겠다"...I'm probably using it incorrectly but anyway, I tried ^^;;; Furthermore I couldn't decide if I should use 시작하다 or 오다.October 28, 201430

Don't know how is the weather in your???Yesterday the weather was very bad, the wind was very strong, and it was very cold. In the morning I went to work and the wind almost blew me away. The temperature was almost below freezing. Myself and everyone else wore a lot of warm clothing. We all looked like bears.
But today the weather has become nice and the temperature is not low. The wind is not strong. The most important of all is that the sun is very bright and it's very warm. Blue skies and white clouds are very good. I like it.
How is the weather where you are???
Very good entry!^^ The weather where I am is cold and wet. Enjoy the sunshine in China; maybe it will come to the U.S. soon! ^^

The old man had not opened his mouth even until then. He simply stood still as if he engraved that moment in his mind forever (in order to make this more natural, you may want to reword this by saying something like '...stood still, <em>wishing</em> he could engrave...' or '...stood still, <em>hoping</em> he could preserve...'. You can better communicate the connection between the man standing still and his feelings about this moment with these words rather than 'as if'). That memory would have to be alive in his mind at least until tomorrow morning. Just (encouraged or some synonyms for encouraged would sound better) by that moment he had to (obviously, he is not hiking because he is encouraged! You should show that he is using the encouragement to hike through the weather, that he is gaining strength from it. I would say something like '...he had to gain strength/determination/energy...) to hike through the frigid weather to come here again.
Please help me make my writing read naturally.Good work! Sorry I missed this entry earlier, or I would have corrected it then. :) I'm looking forward to the next part of this story.

Roberta tightly buttoned fastened a button that had weaseled out of the control of his hands. And then, she looked into his eyes and, pointing her finger at him, said innocently, “So (normally, when I use 'so', I am either asking a question, or providing an answer to a problem) Mr. Johnson! You have to take care of your health!”
She then paused slightly as if to emphasize and added with in her sincere voice.
Please help my writing feel natural.
Thanks!^ ^0 votedNovember 11, 20133Todays diary
today was saturday However, exatly its am1:47 now its sunday.
Whatever I'd like to saturday's diary
Today I got up at 12 at noon cause I slept at 6 am last night. I dont know why my sleeping time keep going late
when the outside is going bright I feel bad cause my mother always said sleeping late and irregular life style will ruin
your health and I completly stand on my moms side and trust her. So I think I need to follow regular life cycle.
Anyway therefore I woke up late 12 am and I watched Korean Tv Show named 무한도전(infinite challenge) and 우리결혼했어요 (we got married) . I have been watching 무한도전 before but not 우리결혼했어요. The reason thesedays I start to watch this Is that there is new couple whom I am interested in.. Their name is Tamin and Naeun. As Speak Frankly I am interested in female Naeun hahaha. I feel She is quiet cute. Cause when she is shy. this is exposed easily through like her red cheek or shy smile.
After i finished to watch both. I got to know I was stucked in the room and I went to out for going Alkie beach by bike after brief meals. it was 6oclock. Actually i was there before So The way to go there was quite boring. So I tried to go further then Alkie beach. But this choose is starting of hell.From the alkie beach I pointed place where looks curious to me and decided to get there. And usually I think man once decide to do something he have to to. So I barely got to there But the problem was the way to go back my home It was hell I was so hard and long way. Anyway now I am write down this happening in my bed in relaxed mood.
and Plus I decided to write down diary here on a daily basis. Maybe It will be the another starting of the hell hahahahhaToday’s Diary (remember to capitalize titles)
Today was Saturday (capitalize the days of the week). However, to be exact, it’s 1:47 am (in English, “am” or A.M. normally comes after the time is given), so now it’s (an apostrophe is needed because this is a combined word ‘it’ and ‘is’. If it were possessive ‘it’ then there would be no apostrophe. This is confusing, I know) Sunday.
Whatever. I’d like to do Saturday’s diary.
Today I got up at 12 at noon(you can say ‘at 12 noon’ [or ‘at 12’ or ‘at noon’] you do not need to write ‘at’ twice for your meaning to be understood) ‘cause I fell asleep (English speakers normally say ‘went to sleep’ or ‘fell asleep’, but ‘slept’ is also okay. I put this in green because it is more of a suggestion^^) at 6 am last night. I don’t know why I keep staying up late. When it’s bright outside I feel bad because my mother always said sleeping late and an irregular lifestyle will ruin your health and I am completely on my mom’s (apostrophe to show possession) side and trust her. So I think I need to have a regular schedule.
Anyway, I woke up late at 12 pm (I think you mean pm since earlier you said it was noon) and I watched Korean TV shows (pluralize ‘show’ since you watched two of them) named무한도전(Infinite Challenge) and 우리결혼했어요 (We Got Married). I have been watching 무한도전but not우리결혼했어요. The reason I started to watch this is because there is a new couple whom I am interested in. Their names are (the verb tense changes from singular be verb ‘is’ to plural ‘are’) Taemin and Naeun. To be honest, I am interested in the female, Naeun hahaha. I feel she is quite cute because she is shy. Her shyness is exposed so easily through her blushing and shy smiles.
After I finished watching both I realized I had been stuck in my room all day and I decided to go out. I went to Alkie beach by bike after a brief meal. It was 6 o’clock. Actually, I’ve been there before, so the way there was quite boring. So I tried to go further than Alkie beach. But this choice was the starting of hell. From Alkie beach I saw a place that looked curious to me and decided to go there. I think that usually, once a man decides to do something, he has to do it. I barely got there, but the real problem was the way back to my home. It was hell. I was tired and it was such a long way back.
Anyway, now I am writing about this event in my bed while in a relaxed mood. I’ve decided to write a diary entry here on a daily basis. Maybe it will be the starting of another hell hahahahha
I really enjoyed reading this entry. I feel sorry for you about your bike ride, but I still had to laugh a little. Good work-this entry was written very well. I am also really impressed with your usage of 'whom'. Most English speakers in the U.S. today do not know how to use this word and rarely use it at all. As far as I can tell, you also used it correctly! I've seen a little of 'We Got Married' but I never have the time to watch it. I look forward to seeing more of your entries here^^

account for something
ex) Can you account for those nice cars?
ex) I'd like to account for the answer.
ex) Is it hard to account for the book?Here is a link from thefreedictionary.com which may help you in understanding this word (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/account). It has many meanings.
The way you used 'account' here sounds a little awkward or stiff, not natural. In English we use 'account for' in this way-
Phrasal Verb: account for
1. To constitute the governing or primary factor in: Bad weather accounted for the long delay.
2. To provide an explanation or justification for: The suspect couldn't account for his time that night.
add up
ex) I want to add up how many times you take a the medicine.
ex) She will add it up how many hours I spend the time in this hotel.
ex) Could you add up that how many balls have you you have carried?Good work! English grammar can be really confusing. I find Korean grammar challenging, so I'm really impressed that you are trying to grasp the concept behind Phrasal Verbs, which are some of the most difficult to understand verbs in English!

wat shoud i do? ㅠㅠNice weather today in Seattle
I heard that Seattle is mostly cloudy and rainy but in summer, from July to September, the weather is sunny, clear, and nice. However, sadly I don't have any plans. Today is like that. Do you guys have any suggestions about what I should do?
I would give you some suggestions, but sadly, I don't live in Seattle! Good work on this entry. Remember that months and city names are capitalized but the seasons of the year are not. It is a little confusing but you just have to memorize the rules of capitalization^^
0 votedJuly 11, 20130- "Pull back a bit" can also mean to slow down... not to be so eager or in a hurry. Sometimes when my mom is driving our car and following another car too closely my dad will say "Pull back a bit" or " Hang back". This means that he wants her to slow down and not tailgate the car in front of us. In the context you provided it does mean to back up your vehicle.0 votedApril 29, 20130
