    Using an article here is optional. Both "I watched pedestrians file past" and "I watched the pedestrians file past" essentially mean the same thing. As a small nuance, including the article could refer to a specific group of pedestrians (if there were more than one group of pedestrians), otherwise the two sentences are pretty interchangeable.

    ハワイから「今日は」! 昨年の十月からItalkiで英語を教えていますけど、まだメモをぜんぜん書きません。それに今私は少し紹介します。 ハワイで住んでいます。大学のときに日本語と中国語を勉強しました。私も留学しました。しかし今はあまり日本語をよく書きません。もっと練習する必要があります。そのために時々メモを書くつもりです。面白いトピックを選ぶしてみます。(私の日本語はよくないので、すみません!) よろしくお願いします!

    Both of these movie quotes are correct English, but they use grammar that is more common in formal English, which might sometimes seem a bit more awkward if you aren't used to it. (1) "Despite the devastation of what has been confirmed as an extraterrestrial attack, the extraordinary heroics of the group known as the Avengers has been to many a cause not only for comfort, but for celebration." This is correct English, but it might be clearer if it said, "...have been to many people a cause..." Meaning that the Avenger's heroics gave many people a reason to feel comfort and also to celebrate. This is a very formal sentence, but it accurately shows the kinds of sentences real news anchors use. (2) "Tough questions are being asked about the Avengers themselves." vs "Tough questions about the Avengers themselves are being asked." Both of these are correct English. "Tough questions are being asked." is a complete sentence by itself. The additional information ("about the Avengers themselves") can either go at the end of the sentence, or spliced in the middle. There is a slight shift in emphasis, but it isn't very noticeable. For example, if the sentence topic includes the whole phrase "Tough questions about the Avengers themselves", then it puts a bit more emphasis on the type of questions being asked. The original version puts a bit more emphasis on the conversations taking place because of the questions.

    essay, line graph

    The graphs illustrates the numbers of goods that were transported by 4 four different types of transportation in the UK between 1974 and 2002. The figures are given in per million tones tons. Roughly, it can be seen that transportation via using road was the most popular, followed by water, rail and pipeline methods.
    The number of goods transported by motors where were the highest of all time. In 1990, it started at about 70, which were was as twice as much as those that were shipped by boats and trains (about 40), before rising steadily to 80 until 1994. It all so also increased dramatically in the last 8 years and finished at just a little under 100 in 2002. Between 1978 and 1982, the goods transported by ships increased sharply to about 60 and remained constant until 1994 before they experienced a minimal drop in 1998. and Then they experienced a significant increase, during the last 4 years, ending up at about 62. In contrast, the number of goods being transported by railway decreased steadily to above 30 in 1984 and then faced with a fluctuate trend fluxuated between 1984 and 1995 before, recovering to where it started in 1974. Finally, the number of good shipped by pipeline was the smallest number when it stared (4-5) but and it had been increasing increased steadily over the first decade to a little above 20. But interestingly, not unlike the others, and it remained the same in throughout the rest of the time frame.

    Tips for the beginners who want to learn the Thai language

    "The first Tip"

    For anyone who's never listened to the Thai language before or has just a little experience about with it, you should be able to distinguish Thai language from others languages first. It doesn't matter if you don't understand what they say is being said because the goal is to tune your ears in order to get use to Thai's tonations and rhythm. You can listen to the Thai language from in movies, musics and news. If you feel it's boring for to just listening without knowing anything about the conversation, it's ok to open your language use subtitles.

    I'm gonna continue I'll post the second tip in a few days. By the way, I'm not good in at English so if I'm using the wrong grammar or word or whatever, it would be great to have someone correct it.

    Thank you and hope you guys enjoy leaning Thai. ^^

     

    [Your English is actually pretty good.  This is a nice tip too, for learning Thai or any language.]

    Dear John,
    What are you doing? I'm in London and I'm having a fantastic time here. I arrived three days ago and I'll be staying here for about four days. I'm residing in at a college with other students from the rest of Italy. I'll be studying English in London for a week with an English teacher. Her name's Apostolia and she comes from Cyprus. She's about thirty years old and she's very nice and funny. She has explained the English future tense to us recently. She'll be accompanying us to visit London city. Then, in the afternoon, we're going into to the London Eye to see the city from above. At 5 o'clock we're returning to the college. At 6 o'clock we'll have dinner. In the evening we usually go out for a trip on the town. Tonight we'll be watching an English film. At the moment I'm having fish and chips, it's fantastic! And what about you? Did you have a special dinner?

    See you soon.

    Recently

    Just came back from Las Vegas last week, Still miss the gorgeous buildings there. As everyone knows, Las Vegas has a lot of shows and slot machines are everywhere. We went to a show called KA show. It is one of the Cirque du Soleil's shows, and it is very famous. At that time I was tired because of staying up late every night when I watched the show.  Sometimes I'd nod off a little.  I wasn't very interested in parts of the show I'd seen before, but my friends still gave the show a highly recommendation.We also went to the Grand Canyon,the sky deck,which....ha, I should admit, the view there is very fantastic, but the skydeck is not big as i thought.
    Now I'm in Texas, I've been in the U.S for 1 year, but I think my english oral skills are still not very good.  I really want to get more chances to practice. If someone wants to practice with me, that would be very much appreciated!! I can also teach you chinese as reply in return!!
