I am trying to put an article into English: Part 1
Original Japanese version: http://toyokeizai.net/articles/-/14202
(title)
The reason Japanese get along well with the Philippines is because it's an Asian country that knows the Western feeling. (Made it sound more like a sentence instead of a statement)
(preface)
The Philippines is one of the most familiar countries in Asia for a long time.
Have you ever thought about the reason?
Their unique national character of the Philippines is the background factor.
I heard from Dita Angara Mathay, a councilor of the Department of Commerce and Froilan Emil D. Pamintuan, a commercial attache about these Fillipino traits unknown well in Japan, English education in fashion, and nannies.
がんばって, コジさん！0 votedJuly 19, 20132- To be completely correct in your writing, you would add an apostrophe to the short version. Eg: '13. Not just simply 13. Correct: Britain returned Hong Kong to China in June of '97. Incorrect: Britain returned Hong Kong to China in June of 97. You can also find it explained in the Oxford English Dictionary: http://oxforddictionaries.com/words/apostrophe0 votedMay 28, 20130
What good habits do you have in a conversation?
I have one thing that I am taking notice of, although I am not sure that I can say this is a good habit. That is to listen to them.
OR
I have one thing that I am taking notice of. However, I am not sure that I can say this is a good habit. That is to listen to them.
It means to try to know what they actually want to say, although I take it for granted. Not a few many people do not seem to do that.Good job, Koji! There were a few issues with sentence structure and "although" should be used to connect two sentences, not start them. To start a new sentence (with similar meaning), use "However")
Eg:
Although: I went to the shop this morning, although I got lost on the way.
However: I went to the shop this morning. However, I got lost on the way.

It doesn't explain why either and I'm wondering if there's any difference or not. １）机の上に本やノートがあります。 ２）机の上に本やノートなどがあります。May 6, 201370
About Today 4
Good evening.
Today I talked with my Chinese friend on Skype.
A) Though a little trouble occurred, because we were able to talk and hear everything. I had a very good time and I want to talk with her again sometime. <em>'sometime' is a much better word for this as the time hasn't been set, while 'next time' implies that it has.</em><em>( (A) A little trouble occured because you could talk and hear everything, or, (B) you had a very good time because you were able to talk?)</em>
B) Though a little trouble occurred, I had a very good time because we were able to talk and hear everything. I want to talk with her again sometime.
Recently it has been cold since three days ago.It has been cold for three days recently. <em>(You are right, but this way sounds more natural to native speakers)</em>
It seems that the temperature of recent recent temperature is as cold as it's currently March.
Spring, please hurry up and come here!
Thank you for reading.0 votedApril 25, 20130
