    Hello Mirai,

     

    Here are some corrections to your note; they will help your notes read more smoothly.

    1.) Instead of "Let's study hard each other", it is more natural to say "Let's study hard together!"

    2.) While this sentence is grammatically correct, it is better to say "I am seriously looking for a study partner." This allows for easier understanding and word flow. 

    3.) This is a good series of sentences, but it may be more understandable if you made the following corrections:

    "I am interested in someone. He can speak Japanese just a little. And I have poor English."

    These sentences can easily be combined into:

    "I am interested in someone. He can only speak a little Japanese, and my English is poor."

    4.) "So I want to be able to speak better in English for he." There are a few problems with this sentence, but they can be easily fixed.

    It's better to say: "I want to be able to speak better in English for him." or "I want to be able to speak better English for him."

    Notice the use of "him" instead of "he", in these examples?

     

    Here are some other examples of how to use the pronouns "he" and "him":

    "Benjamin loves painting pictures; he is a good artist."

    "Because Benjamin loves painting pictures, I gave him a paint brush."

    The stove

    Last night I found myself sleeping with light up (sleeping with the light on). I wake up(woke up) after about three hours sleep. 1.) I forgot to turn off the stove, and when I woke up, the oil was empty and it smelled terrible. I turned off the stove in a fluster.
    2.) I'll have to full the oil when I come back home today. It makes me feel terrible when I think of it.
    3.) However, I think it's so lucky enough to be able to use the stove whenever I'm cold.

     

    1.) This is a good sentence, but, in English, we call this a "run-on", meaning that it's a bit too long. Try something like this:

    "<em>I forgot to turn off the stove. When I woke up, the oil was empty; it smelled terrible.</em>" 

     

    2.) In English, sometimes it is hard to remember the proper form when using verbs. 

    "<em>I'll have to fill the oil when I come back home today.</em>" 

    or

    "<em>When I come back home today, I'll have to fill the oil.</em>"

    Notice the difference between "full" and "fill"? "Full" is the state of being occupied by something. By this I mean, something is taking up space within the container. For example: "<em>The glass is full of water</em>." In this example, the space inside the glass is being filled by the water. 

     

    3.) This is a good sentence, but the structure is a bit improper. Consider the use of "it's", in this sentence. If you are referring to yourself, then "I am so lucky..." is a better choice of words. It also sounds more natural :

    "<em>However, I think that I am so lucky to be able to use the stove, when I am cold.</em>"

     

    This was a very good entry, Ayano. There are only a few things that need some attention. The flow of your words is very good! Keep working hard! 

     



    昨日、気が付いたら電気をつけたまま、いつの間にか3時間ぐらい眠っていました。
    ストーブをつけたまま寝てしまったのですが、起きたらストーブの灯油がなくなっていて、変なにおいがしました。
    今日、帰ったら給油をしないといけません。
    今から憂鬱です。でも、寒いときにストーブが使えることは、本当に幸せなことだと思います。
