An exciting adventure
I was in Murcia. My friends were with me. We were bored in a hotel of the capital. A friend of mine said that he had a plan for us. We listened to him. He said that he had met with a local guide who would take us to sail on a river. It was an exciting adventure, but we didn't have any materials for sailing. My friend said that the guide had the materials prepared for us to sail, so we caught a bus to the river.
The bus stopped many times on the road, but finally, we arrived. The guide gave us basic instructions for us to sail safely. I went with my friend, Joseph, and my other friend, Anthony, on a small boat. It was exciting to sail on the river, and it was a healthy activity.
I loved the exciting adventure!I'll give you a 4/5 on grammar and spelling, and a 3/5 on the naturalness of the sentences. Keep up the good work! =)
P.S. - Did you know that in English, "Murica" is a funny slang term for "America"?
0 votedMarch 12, 20140- Please help me to understand two parts of this sentence... 「冬に北海道に行ってみればどんなに寒いかということがわかるだろう。」 The website that I got this example sentence from translates this sentence as: "If you go to Hokkaido in the winter, you will see how cold it is there."It also gives another way of saying the second half of the sentence: 「どんなに寒いかがわかるだろう。」 My questions are thus: 1. How does ということ affect the meaning of this sentence? What does ということ even mean? The website does not explain this very well, unfortunately, and I can't seem to find a website that does give a good explanation of ということ, either. 2. Why is there a か particle in the middle of the sentence? I've seen か used like this before, but no website ever explains how か is used in the middle of sentences. The only resources I ever find are just beginner's ones which only cover か at the end of a sentence, which I already know about. Help with either of these questions would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance! =)March 12, 2014111
Life is the same Flappy Bird
Flappy Bird was made by a Vietnamese person. It's a difficult game. The first time you play the game, you'll hardly achieve 1 point. But if you're patient, you'll get better. When you're actually playing the game smoothly, you'll feel passion. You'll want to achieve higher than your last score.
I've realized that life is the same way. When you fail, you tell yourself have to work harder to achieve the results you want. You'll concentrate harder and become stronger. Then you'll realize some of the best lessons you've learned in that failure.0 votedMarch 10, 20141Job interview chance today
I have an interview this afternoon at 2:00 pm. The company which gave me this opportunity is far away from where I live. So this is my plan: I am going to have my lunch at about 12:20, then I will take the subway, which takes around 30 minutes, and finally I will cycle to the interview. I expect some tests, and I may have to introduce myself in English. I feel a bit anxious about this. My spoken English is not good enough, and they may test my English in another way. Whatever; I am appreciate this opportunity. What I need to do is just show that I can do the job with confidence.
Good luck to you!

I tried my best to write this myself in Japanese, but the person who read my journal could not even make sense of what I was trying to say, due to how poorly written it was. "The next journal entry, will be completely blank." "It will definitely have words!!" (said to contradict the first speaker)February 3, 2014201
- As James said, "12 Years a Slave" has a lot of very old southern American dialect, as well as very strong south-eastern American accents. Also, there are a lot of offensive, hateful words in the movie that English speakers would almost never use in conversations today. If you want to see what old southern American dialect looks like when written down, try reading "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/76/76-h/76-h.htm#c1 ^This book is hard for even native American English speakers to read.0 votedJanuary 29, 20141
