    Of course, "whose" is used with people only. A donkey is a "which."

    "It" refers to the villa where the protagonist was staying with his unit. The ambulance driver didn't live there, but only asked if he should borrow the cars to transport the wounded soldiers.

    I'm not sure what you are saying. Are you saying someone is bright as a star for getting some papers completed, or that this person a star, or hero, for completing something like a visa?

    An email about my trip to Marrakech

    Hi Elma,

    Hi Elma,

    I’m writing this from my room at the hotel in Marrakech. Marrakech is so interesting-the way people live, the sights in the city, and how the food tastes. I like it.

    Today we visited Marrakech-the older part of the city is walled and the newer part is outside. In the old section, the Djemaa El-Fna is a huge square which changes at night. It is amazing- you can walk in peace even in the crowds because there is so much room. During the day you can buy spices, nuts, and clothes, but at twelve o’clock people stop and pray toward the mosque. It is very quiet then, but afterward the square becomes noisy again.

    At night the square is filled with food carts where vendors cook their specialities. You can sit wherever you want and eat the inexpensive food. There are also people putting on entertainment shows, so you can enjoy watching while having your meal. The green tea is unbelievably tasty.

    Tomorrow we are taking a bus to the Atlas Mountains. I am so excited to be going there. I won't have any internet there but I’ll contact you when I can. Wish us luck!

    Hi Elma,

    I’m writing this from my room at the hotel in Marrakech. Marrakech is so interesting-the way people live, the sights in the city, and how the food tastes. I like it.

    Today we visited Marrakech, which has two parts. The older part of the city is walled, with the newer part outside. In the Djemaa El-Fna is a huge square which changes at night. It is amazing- you can walk in peace even while there are crowds because there is so much space. During the day you can buy spices, nuts, and clothes. At twelve o’clock people stop and pray toward the mosque. It is very quiet then, but afterward the square becomes noisy again.

    At night the square is filled with food carts where vendors cook their specialities. You can sit wherever you want and eat the inexpensive food. There are also people acting out plays, so you can enjoy watching while you are having your meal. The green tea is unbelievably tasty.

    Tomorrow we are talking a bus to the Atlas Mountains. I am so excited to be going there. I won't have any internet there, but I’ll contact you when I can. Wish us luck!

    Made some pudding

    I made some black sesame pudding. It's one of popular desserts in Japan.
    I have eaten them 2 or 3 times, and I like them.
    So, I've wanted to cook them by myself.

    First, I mixed eggs, soymilk, sugar, and black sesame paste, then, poured it into cups, lastly, steamed them.
    It's so simple, isn't it?

    They are waiting to be tasted in the fridge now!

    I mixed eggs, soymilk, sugar, and black sesame seed paste, poured it into cups and steamed it. Simple, right?

    They are chilling in the refrigerator now!

     

    My answer: I soak two tablespoons of black sesame seed a day and have it raw for dessert, but I don't add anything to it.

    Help ! I don't kwon how to get along with westerner QvQ

    Good evening,guys.

    I just get to Canada for study English.
    But I find that I don't have any opportunities to contact with foreigners and I don't kwon how to get along with them !?
    I don't kwon what kind of topic do they interested in,I'm a very outgoing girl but things always going to be embarrassed if I keep telling them my opinion and sometimes they even can't got the meaning of what I say ! I kwon my language is not good and sometimes I don’t know which word is able to come up with suitable wording.But I think my understanding ability is even more worse.[cry face]
    So ! I make a big dissection to talk more in English !but you kwon ?I'm in a private school and all of my classmate is Chinese ! I'd like to live in a foreigner homestay but I'really not use to there foods.So if you are a typical Westerner ,could you please advice me some way to contact with foreigner ?? I kwon different people have different way ,for me ,I'd like to go some website which I'm interested in (just like some animation website ,personality website )when I was in China ,and If there have anybody live close by me ,we'll have a meeting.If is not ,it doesn't matter .(so I have some web friends I have never meet which I have been known them for more then one year,and I keep contact with them just because of similar hobbits)
    What about you ?

     

    Help! I don't know how to get along with Westerners. 

     

    I recently moved to Canada to study English, but I don't have many opportunities to interact with foreigners. I don't know what topics interest them and when I do speak to them they can barely understand me. I don't know which words to use to express what I mean, so even though I'm outgoing but I can't communicate with locals if they can't understand me. I'm in a private school with Chinese classmates, but I would prefer to live with a Western family as an exchange student, although I'm not used to their food. Does anyone know who I can contact to help me?

    In China I would go on animated websites and talk to online friends, but if I found out any of them lived nearby, we would meet. I still keep in contact with some people I have never met because we have similar interests.

    What about you?

     

    My answer: You are right..living with a Western family would help. You can look on your local Craigslist to see if anyone wants a roommate, or use Google search engine to find out if any families are taking exchange students, although those are usually arranged through the school. You might be able to find a chat line where you can exchange information with other foreign students with the same problems.

    This website is also a good place to find people willing to talk to you online.

    new life changes

    Hello
    Well, I'm on vacations...I've been in wonderful places this last days. I'm great.
    But... I feel like there are times that I'm not enjoying my free time and I'm not using this opportunity to forget all my daily preoccupations. Maybe it's cause I'm the most part of the time worried about.. What's going to happen tomorrow?...
    I'm afraid because when this year end... My life style will change, I will go to another country, letting my friends and my family behind.
    I think that it's exciting but I'm also afraid of it... Big changes scared me.
    What do you think about new life changes?
    Hope your answers..

     

    Hello,

     

    I'm on vacation and have seen wonderful places the past few days. I am having fun, but sometimes I feel like I'm not taking advantage of this time to completely relax and forget my worries. Maybe it's because this year I plan to move to another country and leave my family and friends behind. I think it's exciting, but my lifestyle will change and that frightens me-big changes scare me.

    What do you think about big life changes? I hope someone will answer.

     

    To answer, I have done that many times already and you're right..it is exciting, but your lifestyle completely changes. While you are experiencing new things and making new friends you won't be homesick, but even if you keep in touch with Skype, eventually you will want to visit your old home, or even move back.

    When you do, you may be surprised. You will have changed, learned new things, maybe even a new language, but your family and friends will have stayed the same. They might not want to hear about your adventures and you may find yourself feeling lonely. Eventually, you might want to go abroad again where you know fellow travelers understand what you have experienced.
