I'm from a small city outside Detroit. Not gonna say exactly where though. I'm currently a highschool student studying graphic design. I don't have a job yet. I'm focusing on my education for now. I'm learning Japanese because: 1) Knowing ANY second language is a great thing. 2) Graphic Design seems like something that would have some demand in Japan. (and with all the gross miss-translations I've seen on advertisements, I think I could do some good there) 3) I might move to Japan someday. I'm certainly going to visit at least. And yes, understanding all that anime and manga that we kids love is a boon a well. What am I looking for on italki? Simple: Somebody whom I get along with that can help me learn Japanese. I have no money, so.. If you're strictly looking for someone who will pay, I'm not for you. My sincerest apologies.

    a short part of my writing , aw >grammar remains< my biggest obstacle ;)

    It is sometimes claimed that zoos should be closed because animals are suffering inhuman treatment in some commercial zoos aimed >at< entertaining people. For example, animals live in >hostile conditions<. To maximize >< profits, some zoos may cut the staff. As a result, there are >insufficient< people to keep living >environments< clean. Even worse, because of visitors’ adverse behaviors, animals >sometimes contract< diseases>.< It is difficult to receive adequate medical >care,< leading to >the< accidental death of some animals.

    In addition, they may overload animals in a narrow area >to save< space. >This< is harmful for male animals>,< which have strong territoriality. Animals may >become< sick because of insanitary condition>s< and fighting. Some zoos do not have specialized medical employees for all kinds of animals>, which< probably >causes the deaths of some< animals. Besides those drawbacks, some zoos >import exotic< animals, which are >unable< to live in other countries, >to attract< visitors. Some [research shows OR researches show] that forcing animals to change their way of living may result in a decline in >their< birth rate.

     

     

    I give you a B+   Considering that I can't even construct a simple sentence in the language that I'm learning.  Your grammar is very good.   It may not be technically correct sometimes, but I can easily understand what you're saying.

    SWEET MATH  (you don't need to use all caps there)

    A hockey stick and a ball cost $50. If the stick costs $49 more than the ball, what is the cost of the ball?   (don't put a space between the  "?"  and the last word in the sentence)

     

    (the ball costs one dollar.)

     

     

    Also, you asked "What is the cost of each";  You answered that question in the first clause of your statement.  "A hockey stick and ball cost $50."  You also state that the stick costs $49 more than the ball, so the only logical question left to ask is "What is the cost of the ball?"
