- I'd like to bring up another point that others have not yet mentioned. I think using "had" in this case can be context driven. "I had pizza" may give an implication like, "I had pizza for lunch today." In this case, you had it for a meal, which must mean you ate it. I agree with others that in general, if you say you had any food or drink, it would imply that you ate/drank it. However, if you ended your sentences differently, this implication may not apply. For example, "I had a pizza, but I dropped it." In this case, you would not think that the person ate the pizza. Again, using "had" leaves it up to context as to what it may or may not imply. Using "ate" leaves no doubt at all.0 votedJune 24, 20110

Today was a very hot day :(
It was the kind of hot where it's like melting and I was melting like ice cream !!!(I would probably say, "It was burning hot and I was melting like ice cream.")
red: correction
blue: optional
The first correction is okay, but I wanted to give you another option.
In school in America, we are taught to avoid starting sentences with "and" or "but." In most cases when you use these words, you will want to put it together with the sentence before.

I'm sorry to be slow.
I choose another book.
The title is "Pirates Of The Carribean."
The authors are Andy Hopkins and Jocelyn Potter.
There are 37 pages in this book.
I chose this book because I like the this story.
So, I wanted to read it again.
Here is a summary of the story......
"Elizabeth lives on a Caribbean island, a very dangerous place.
A young blacksmith is interested in her, but pirates are interested too.
Where do the pirates come from and what do they want?
Is there really a curse on their ship?
And why can't they enjoy their gold?"
red: correctionblue: optional
I found the exact text of the summary online from the cover of the book. It would help you learn more if you write your own summary... But, if you are going to copy text, you must put it in quotes. Otherwise, it is stealing and I'm sure you did not want to do that.

The characters in the book "Babe" are mostly animals.
For example, mice, ducks, sheep, horses, and so on.
I will tell you about the story so far.
Babe met two dangerous dogs, but they became friends in the end......
I have read 23 pages.
I like this book!
And I think this book is not difficult.(I took this method of correcting from someone who previously corrected your work.)

0 votedJune 23, 20110I agree with chpr1. Learning hiragana first is how most people do it, but it's pretty meaningless until you have some understanding of the Japanese language.
If you want to make sense of what you're doing right away, learn katakana first since it's used for foreign words that you will likely already understand without simultaneous vocabulary lessons. Once you have some understanding of grammer and vocab, you can then switch to hiragana followed by kanji. This approach is different from how the Japanese learn their own language, but they also already understand the spoken language once they get to writing. For foreigners, it makes sense to take the approach of learning how to write words we already understand (namely katakana), then expand from there.

Personally, when I think of blood color, I think of red, but I do know the technical answer deep down as well. Also, royalty is said to have blue blood, although of course their blood is actually the same as everyone else's.0 votedSeptember 29, 20080
