    <em style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">You did a great job with this. Correcting it is tricky because you didn't make many mistakes, most of what I would change is idiomatic. I have corrected the things that were wrong below, and then I rewrote it beneath that, to show you how I would change the paragraph so it sounds more natural while still following what you wrote.</em>

    What advice would you give to someone who wanted a healthier lifestyle?

    It’s a big deal to want a healthier lifestyle. You should identify the habits that (1) are poisoning your life, then plan on how to change them (2). It isn’t really hard, but it requires a gradual approach. Don’t try to change all at once because it could be very stressful. Change a little part of you everyday while enjoying your new life.

    1. You should use "that" here instead of "which", because the fact that the habits are poisoning your life is what's important about them. "Which" is used when you're talking about something unrelated to the point. It's a tricky difference to get down, don't worry. Most native speakers don't get it right every time, myself included!

    2. Make sure the pronoun and the antecedent agree! If the noun is plural, "habits", then the pronoun needs to be too.

    Bergkristall Heute fange ich an, das Buch "Bergkristall" von Adalbert Stifter zu lesen. Es ist lange her, dass ich ein Buch auf Deutsch gelesen habe. Ich wähle Bergkristall aus, wegen der Kürze. Ich habe nur en bißchen gelesen, aber es ist ein schönes Buch. Dieser Satz hat mir besonders gut gefallen: "Das Traurige und Schwermütige der Karwoche und darauf das Feierliche des Sonntags begleiten uns durch das Leben." Während ich über den Schriftsteller gelesen habe, habe ich ein entzückendes Gemälde gefunden, das "Der Sonntagsspaziergang" heißt. Diese Gemälde von Carl Spitzweg zeigt eine Familie, die spazieren. Ich habe es gefunden, weil die beiden Stifter und Spitzweg Künstler des Biedermeier waren.

    Subject Particles with 始まる In my last journal entry, I included the sentence: 大学院はまた始まります The person correcting my entry changed は to が. If I'm using 始まる, why wouldn't I use は, since the subject of the sentence is 大学院? Or does 始まる always pair with が?

    今日の日食 今日は皆既日食です!ニューヨックに住むから、部分日食はだけ見えります。日食は出る時、仕事にいます。日食を見る事がありません。残念だ、日食のメガネを持っていません。じっと見られません。日食を見られるといいんですが、見ないと思います。 後の金曜日、日本語の質問を持ちました。毎週金曜日に日本語のガルポへ行っています。日本の友達に手伝ってもらいました。いいですよ。

    Falling Asleep

    My daughter has a problem with taking a nap. She can't take a nap unless she is being carried or she is in the car.

    My friend and her daughters visited us this morning. One of them is around my daughter's age, so they played together and looked so happy.
    They left before noon, because her older sisters have a half day of school today.

    After that, my daughter and I had lunch.(1)
    Then, she fell asleep while eating! Without being carried! I didn't do anything to get her to take a nap! That's great! I'm so excited. Haha

    I hope the nap problem is solved. I want to be set free from it.

    (1) In English, if you are listing multiple people and you are included, you always go last. 

    Good luck!

    If you are looking for a language partner, take a look in the Language Partners section under Community! You'll find lots of people there. The Answers section is intended for specific questions related to grammar, vocabulary, and usage, not looking for language partners.

    The word we use is "picky"! We would simply say you are a picky eater.
