Hi Hisako, Thanks for sharing this story. I like the message of interdependence that it conveys. Best Wishes, Steve
(A) Story (about) Monks in Kyoto.
What does 500 yen mean to you? I read a wonderful article about 500 yen and one day told my students in the class (about the article). In Kyoto, there (are) is a groups of monks asking for donations. We call this custom "Takuhastu"(托鉢). People in Kyoto used to see these monks walking and asking for charity. When monks say "Takuhastu" in a loud voice, people give them rice, cucumbers, Chinese radish and so on. Why do (the) monks do that? Because (asking) to ask for help makes them deeply realize that they can't live alone and they need to depend on others. Then why (do the) people give (the) monks something? Because by giving them, they (the people) also realized that (their support of the monks) thanks to them, monks can live a life.(not sure I understood the last sentence. are the monks being saved or are they saved the lives of third parties?)
Hi Thais. Good posting.

My first note about learn(ing) English
Five months ago, I started to learn English. Before that, the English (had) always been present in my life, through music, movies and tv shows, but I never stopped to study for real. Now I've been dedicat(ing) part of my days to learn(ing) it. I'm still (a complete) beginner, but I've seen progress: Few months ago, I wasn't brave enough to write a simple sentence, but now, despite of my (many) much mistakes I'm feeling more confident to write this text. The journey could be hard, but (I) don' t wanna give up.
