Hello, everyone! It's raining today. I think the rainy season has started. In Japan, we call it '' tsuyu''. I don't like tsuyu because we get soaked and it becomes so cold. I woke up early this morning but my mother made a request. I'm going to be late...

Tonight I watched a soccer match between Ukraine and Wales. The winner of this match will qualify for the World Cup. The match was won by Wales. The match was very interesting, but took place in the middle of the night (Japan time). I am very sleepy now, lol. Also, have included an example of how I would spice things up below :) Tonight I watched a soccer match between Ukraine and Wales. The winner of the match (spoiler alert: Wales) qualifies for World Cup. It was an incredibly interesting match to watch. Unfortunately, here in Japan the match took place in the middle of the night, so I am very sleepy now lol! Yuma-san, you're English writing is great. I would advise trying to use 'big' words and modifiers. Ganbaru yo!~ For example: A) fun --> entertaining, exciting B) big --> large, humongous 1) He was very fast --> He was unbelievably fast 2) The show was boring --> The show was extremely boring

My favorite flower is the jasmine which is found in tropical and warm regions. They’re usually white or yellow, an inch in diameter and have four to nine petals. This flower possesses a distinctive smell that permeates the air. Once you've smelled them, you may be hooked forever. In my country, the jasmine symbolizes purity. I like them especially when they’re complimented by early morning dews or rainy days. They look even more delicate and feminine with drops of water on the petals. They’re like ladies in white dresses smiling faintly. Hi Pattie, you are very creative! Some criticisms/comments that may help you out. 1) Spelling - pedals are for bikes, petals are for flowers. 2) Numbers - try to write smaller numbers as words. eg. 5 as five but not 1253 3) Consistency - describe the jasmine as the flower it self, or as flowers and follow it through. 4) 2.5cm is an inch :) 5) you wrote delicate yet feminine, here using yet is not suitable - these things compliment each other. I believe you can use yet in this context only if they may contradict each other, eg. "He was fast, yet delicate when preparing the meal."

Hi Jasmine, I think what you have works fine :) Another way to say it is: Learning a language is difficult, but I will do my best to keep at it.

Hello everyone. Recently, I have been have studying English and Chinese. There are five people in my family. My husband, daughter, our two sons and myself. 1 ) My youngest son will be graduating from university next year. 2) My youngest son will graduate from university next year. I also have a pet dog named Bu, they are the cutest! Maria-san ganbaru yo~!

Absolutely, yes! I love teaching Japanese to foreigners so I’m teaching using Italki and other platforms. I love learning foreign languages too. I’m currently learning English, Chinese, Korean, and Russian, though my language skills are limited. 😅 I also enjoy playing guitar, listening to music, traveling too! (I have been to 20 countries and districts until now) 😆 Emoji placement is completely up to the individual! Brackets would typically be within the sentence (before (! or .), but since you are using emojis that doesn't matter as much because it is not formal!
