    Heavy Rain And Heavy Wind

    I went to school in the heavy rain this morning.


    But we were forced to come back my home because of the Typhoon 18.

    <em>(By adding 18, it becomes a specific and doesnt need 'the' but with out 18, 'the typhoon' would be correct) </em>

    <em>
    </em>

    I was free in the all afternoon. 
     

    I’m into I like sitting up late watching movies and dramas on DVD.


    Do you have a favorite movies?
    <em>(Alternative: "What are some of your favorite movies?)</em>


    Please tell me these, and I want to try. 

    I'd like to try watching some of your suggestions.

    <em>(Even the correction above is not common casual conversation. English speakers would probably say something closer to "I'll check it out" after a suggestion.)</em>

    <em></em>
    It’s been cold recently, but the kitten lives in my home my kitten is so warm.


    After having a food eating, he always feels sleepy.

     

    So he sleeps near me and I get warm too.

     

    That’s an ecological and budget-friendly heater. lol

    <em>(Remember if the first letter makes a vowel-type sound, you use 'an' instead of 'a')</em>


    He looks don't doesn't have any hang-ups.


    He shows like human face characteristic sometimes.

    Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

    Hello everyone. Today, I want to introduce one of my favorite Japanese pop artist,s Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.  Do you know her?


    She is very famous in Japan especially among the young people.
     

    Her song is very catchy.

    <em>(Unless she only has one hit, I would say "Her songs are very catchy.")</em>

     

    And her music videos express her fantastic and curious world.  

    <em>(More common words for "curious" would be strange, eccentric, bizarre, weird.  English speakers would rarely use curious when speaking of Kyary's style.)</em>

    If you were are interested in Kyary, try to watch this the MV below.

    I don't believe this

    In Japan there are many superstitions.

    For example, if you say your washes wish three times when you see a shooting star in the sky, your wish will be granted.

    I don't believe this.

    When I see a shooting star ,I don't say my wishes I never make a wish.

    Wached the TV drama "Body of Proof"

    <em>(Titles are almost aways written in Title Case.)</em>

     

    Today I wached the "Body of Proof - Season 1".


    I rentaled it rented the DVD for 80 yen.  <em>(Or 80 cents / $0.80)</em>

    <em>(Rental is a Noun - Rent/Rented is the Verb) </em>


    I like Dr. Megan Hunt (played by Dana Delany). She is an attractive person.

     

    And I thought that Lacher is very cute too.

     

    The episode storyline which that I watched today, apprared a was about Kobe beef and a Japanese knife.

     

    I'm live in Japan but I have never eaten the Kobe beef......

    <em>(Kobe is a city name and in this case a variety of meat so it doesn't take require "the".)</em>

    <em></em>
    I like this drama, so I was disapointed when I heard it already ended at season3 it ended after 3 seasons.


    In At the rental DVD shop where near my apartment, Season 3 is a little expensive because it is still a " recent release".

     

    (There are 3step praice 3 price levels: "New","Recent","Old") 

     

    So, maybe I'll wait until the Season3 becomes "Old".

    <em>(Season 3 is a subtitle so "the" is not required.)</em>

    Until then, which "old" drama should I watch?


    Please tell me your recomendations. (^ ^)/

     

    <em>(If you enjoyed ”Body of Proof”, you might also like "Castle" as it is also a popular procedural drama and it is still on air! Season 6 starts this year....)</em>

    <em>がんばて！</em>

    I hope they feel the Earth can feel that connection early.

    In that context it has no real meaning, it is just a play on words. The author was trying to use "creative" heading in the article, like the "Weird Science" heading, when she talked about the scientific reasons Hawaii has more rainbows.

    I hope they feel the Earth early.

    I have two children, a girl and a boy.

    One is a girl and the other is a boy.  <em>{Grammar is correct but not the most natural phrasing}</em>
    The girl is 7 years old. And the boy is 5. <em> {Grammar is correct but not the most natural phrasing}</em>

    My daughter is 7 and my son in 5.

    They are learning English at school too.
    They had a friend who came from Canada, but his family moved.
    I hope they can make friends more friends who are from other countries.

    In During my college days, I had a classmate girl who is from Indonesia. was in at the college.
    But I had never talked to her for four years because I'm shy.
    I am still very regretful yet.

    Of course my Japanese friends who are from Japan are important too.

    Professional Interpreter

    I have been attending a writing workshop led by a New York Times' writer and poet this whole week. The teacher speaks English all the time during the session, but there is a interpreter who translates every single words from the teacher.

    Every day I struggle with my English studies and so I sometimes get so frustrated when I happen to misunderstand some English words. But I thought it is because I just study English only for myself. After I heard her consecutive and simultaneous interpretation, I marveled at how she transformed all the words and intentions of the speaker to the local workshop attendees who were nervous to hear an alien language from the foreign expert.

    My first impression about of her was that she was a shadow of the speaker and also all ears. She does did have an atmosphere the demeanor of a silent statue when she is very concentrated to listen to every single word the speaker spoke. No matter how long and continuously the speaker spoke, the interpreter seemed to be relaxed but concentrated at the same time. Her tone of voice was sharply low and sound. Her pointy ears reminded me of a Startrek movie character. It was as if the speaker's English words were absorbed by her ears, and appeared to be directly sent to her brain and then directly go to her verbal sense.

    Then My second impression was that she was very kind, especially to the listeners. I was very much annoyed by some of the attendants attendees who just wanted to speak English and considered the place event as a place to practice English or just to be proud of how much they could speak English to non-English speakers. Some seemed to be fluent in English, but the contents they were speaking were saying nothing but their self-centered opinions. Every time they choose to speak spoke in English although there was a professional interpreter, they hindred the flow of the discussion was discouraged... I say they speak spoke bad English. They just pretended to be fluent, but the contents is just as same as as their opinions were that of high school students. The worst thing was they didn't explain in Japanese for other class mates....

    So, the interpreter kindly interpreted the egoistic speeches to for those class mates. What I was most impressed with most was her benevolence to make this once-in-a-life event successful to for everybody. She did not say use any fillers or did not show any distress or anxiety. So, the teacher and workshop attendants could feel relaxed and enjoy the fresh encountering to a natural experience with each other. There are a few days left for the workshop and I will study hard!
