- When I was 8 years old, I had the best vacation ever. My parents' friends invited us to their house in Switzerland. We’ve never been there before so everyone was really excited. We’ve lived at the big castle on the hill. Those days, I felt like a little princess but at night, this place was scary as hell! I’ve seen a lot of beautiful places in Switzerland. I really liked a local open swimming pool. There were so many attractions for kids. Unfortunately, one day someone has stolen my inflatable arm rings and I couldn’t swim anymore. However, I’ve spent a great time with my family at that beautiful place.0 votedSeptember 15, 20180
はじめまして
中国語も韓国語も全く書けない。じゃあなんでノートを書いているんだ、と言われると困る。Okay, why don't I go with English. I don't think I'm good enough at speaking English. I'm still struggling. Actually, I've been struggling English so long. Sometimes I wonder it might last for love... actually it should.
So, why don't I go with English is because I think I'm not good enough in speaking English. I am still struggling at this moment. Honestly, I've been struggling for a long time. Sometimes, I wonder it might last because of love, actually, it should.

Okay I got that you are struggling with English and trust me, it hurts hahaha but you accidentally posted this entry on "korean" section, I think it should be on the "English" section hahaha

"tinggal" is quite informal. "menetap" sounds more formal and could be used in everyday life. Both words mean the same.
hope it helps! (:
0 votedJuly 1, 20140- practice #2 1)A person’s worth nowadays seems to be judged according to social status and material possessions. Old-fashioned values, such as honour, kindness and trust, no longer seem important. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? I firmly believe that it is the ugly truth that the society is facing nowadays. Everyone likes to judge each other by their material possessions. Women like to judge one another by the number of Prada bags in their collections, men like to look down on the another if they are not driving Lamborghini. Old-fashioned mobile phones irk teenagers. I am sure that not all that glitters are gold and this kind of narrow-minded thinking needs further attention so that everyone would appreciate the so-called old-fashioned values such as honour, kindness and trust. Besides that, the elites with the glittering social status are highly respected and those without social status are regarded as “useless”. In the rapidly growing society, most of the people tend to forget the significance of virtues. There is a case where a worker in a company betray the company’s trust because of his greediness and his self-centred personality just to wear and use the highly-respected brands. We can see clearly that this man put everything including his pride at risk! Where did his honour and kindness go? In the midst of our busy days at work and school, we could observe that social status that one owns gives him special privileges and priorities although they did not work hard enough and caused ongoing problems to their workmates, peers and whatnot. Most of the times, the one with social status gets it all and highly recognised while those who work diligently gets nothing but mere painful yet hurtful comments from the society. Are we now blinded by social statuses that hard work and kindness are no longer appreciated? In a nutshell, I agree that a person’s worth only focuses on social statuses and material possessions. p/s : I am practicing for my IELTS exam. What do you think of this essay? (:June 21, 201400
Hello!
I think the best way to develop a certain accent is to speak with a friend in your preferred accent.
Do immitate some useful dialogues in your preferred accent.
You should know more about the slang words in your preferred accent.
If your native language sound too obvious while speaking English, please try your best to get rid of it first before developing your preferred accent.
Have a nice day!
