After finishing my master degree in international commerce, firstly, I am going back to my family to help them in <em>with</em> the family business. We have a factory <em>of/producing</em> cleaning materials in Saudi Arabia. <em>So/Therefore</em> with what I will learn<em> my accumulated knowledge of</em> international commerce and trade (<em>trade & commerce generally mean the same so don't be repetitive)</em>, I can help them to enter to the Global Market(s). I will <em>give/provide them with (this is more polite ^^)</em> the right information to know <em>about</em> how the commerce and trade is happening <em>the dynamics of commerce</em> between countries and how our <em>different ways in which</em> our factory can be a part of it. Also/In addition, I will try to make some communication <em>establish sustainable relationships</em> with a big <em>major</em> companies in the world that <em>who</em> may have some<em> be interested</em> in our works to work together. <em> cooperating with us.</em>
Behind After that, I will make conduct my own researches about<em> to compare</em> the international commerce between the Arabic countries <em>and the others</em> and another other countries to do compared between them and to know what commerce and trade we can develop it or avoid it in order to identify potential trades for development while avoiding disadvantagous factors. That <em>Consequently, I will be more aware of current affairs </em>will make me abreast about everything is happening in the world of the international commerce. <em>Thus</em> I can develop my thought <em>ideas</em> and strategies. <em>Furthermore,</em> I will do some researches about <em>on</em> Arab country’s <em>(which country specifically?)</em> <em>international relations </em>with <em> other </em>countries to know how our relation <em> understand </em>in economics and commerce are strong with other countries. <em>our strengths and weaknesses</em>, And which countries will be useful more another. <em>as well as the potential benefits from our relationship. </em>
Additionally, I am going to apply to get <em>for</em> a doctor degree in my some major “international commerce” because it will make me<em> </em>more skillful <em>adept</em> and useful <em>capable</em> in this field.
If this is an important essay, please ask a professional to look over it! Good luck! :)0 votedMarch 14, 20150Please, correct :) Some thougths on learning languages. Part 1
Nowadays it is hard to imagine life without knowing a foreign language, especially English, <em>as</em> it's the most popular one. What should we do to <em>(be able to) </em>learn English well<em>/efficiently</em>?
To begin with, the best and fastest way is<em> practicing/to practice</em> with a tutor. It could be really helpful for <em>setting up/ establishing </em>your accent and practicing conversational English, etc.Sometimes it could be quite expensive if you are a student or <em>have diffulties paying for language courses</em>. Although it is probably worth it.
But in the first place I think you should <em>get /learn</em> some basics experience in the <em>about </em>the language that you (want to) learn. Find some useful tips from the Web about learning languages in general.Also you need to get a good <em>elementary level</em> grammar book . In my case I started with "Red Murphy".
But I have to admit that I already had some prior experience in English and <em>so it was quite enough for me despite my little experience</em>. , but even though, I didn't have too much of experience.
So/Therefore this book was just for me at that moment. <em>suitable for me then.</em>
And... start learning :) => no quite sure what you're trying to say ^^~
In addition, to that it is important to practice <em>systematically</em> at least 30 minutes a day.
Continue...Great job! I agree with you on the expensive part :D
I think you should try to be more concise in your sentence structure if you can.0 votedMarch 14, 20151This is my first notebook entry... Where do I start?
Okay, so this is my first post on italki and I don't know where I should start... I guess I'm going to introduce myself.
I'm Yohei, from Japan, 23 years old. I'm currently in the US as a college student to study English. Although I'm in the US, I would like to talk to anyone who speaks or wants to learn Japanese from all over the world. For me, I think it's very important to understand many a variety of English accents.
Although I'm a college student in the US, I don't know if my English skills are good enough, especially speaking and listening, because whenever I read books, there 's not so many trouble isn't much trouble with understanding, but when it comes to speaking/listening, my brain's just about to explode. I mean, words won't come out from of my mouth because I don't know how to speak English (I hope you would understand how I feel if you are also a learner of new language) and I don't/can't really hear what they people are saying. If they talk to me somewhat slowly, then, yeah, it's much better/easier for me to understand. So, I really, REALLY want to improve my conversational skills such as by learning conversational phrases, improving my pronunciation, and being <em>less</em> socially awkward. So if there's anyone who'd like to help my English, I'd appreciate it a lot. Of course, I'd like to help anyone who wants to learn Japanese! I'm not a qualified teacher or something, but I'm Japanese and I do speak Japanese <em>native level/fluently</em>. So if you want to be conversationally fluent in Japanese, I'm here. Anyway, I think this is my current thoughts on my English. I guess I'm going to introduce my hobbies and stuff.
I love indoor activities such as playing games, listening to music, reading books/manga, following fashion, watching TV shows/anime on Hulu or Netflix. oh and actually I like weight training, too (I'm still pretty skinny, though, just like to work out!)
I love Persona3/4, Final Fantasy 5, 7, 9, iPhone apps (coz I don't have consoles that needs which require a TV and I don't have a TV), and Minecraft, which is currently my favourite.
I love Visual-kei music! There are to many to name , though. so just ask me what is my favourite bands are. :)
I love various kinds of books/manga, but I'm not a big fun fan of romance.
I love <em>to watch/watching</em> anime on my laptop and TV shows, too.
Currently I'm following The Walking Dead (just started watching from season 1 on Netflix, though)
Well, I guess that's it for now. Thank you for reading my post. Have a good day!You write as if you are talking. If you can speak like this, then no one would have troubles understanding you. Great job!
Where are you staying in the US?
0 votedMarch 13, 20151I'm practicing my English
An american professor will come to/visit my laboratory at the end of April and <em>(will)</em> stay until August.
I will work for him on a new project, <em>in</em> <em>which</em> My role is statistical analysis part for experiment results <em>I'm in charge of the Statistical Analysis of Experimental Data. </em>
But/However, his time in Japan is limited. Maybe I'll have to go <em> to </em>Georgia to get the results organized after he leaves Japan.
It's exciting, but I'm a little bit nervous.
Good luck! :)0 votedMarch 10, 20151Example of that Jokes which are not global.
Do you know Draemon?
At the bookstore,I found the comic books which be written words in English and equivalent in Japanese above every segments/sentence/section.
I've bought it on impulse and read now merrily I am really enjoying it.
Especially I am interested that only mere translation by the fact that many jokes can't be conveyed with mere/simple translation. Moreover, however/by any means/in whatever way devised by the translator, some jokes can't be reproduced/expressed in another language. (Feeble jokes is are more.)?
In one of this comic's one episodes,Draemon gives out special item, the 'Doubutsu(animals) Henshin(transformation) Crackers' ,which can transform their one's faces into several animals' (faces) printed on the crackers they've ate eaten.
But,in/at their/the characters' house,a visitor eats/happens to eat the crackers by mistake. And, forming Having his face changed to that of a rooster's face,he says
"Oh, thank you for the nice sweets,cock a doodle doo."
After a short time,he gets angry and says
"I'm upset!"
Eventually,his face is changed changes to that of a frog's,saying and he says
"I'll go home."
If you can find understand that these phrases aim at jokes are jokes/wordplay made by an the author, you must be a Japanese specialist.
Answers are the following.
1,'Cock a doodle doo' is 'Kekkou' in Japanese and that means 'nice' too.
2, 'I'm upset!' is written in Japanese is equivalent by to another expression, that means 'My crest is heating! '
3,'I'll go home' is,in Japanese is,'Watashi wa kaeru'. 'Watashi wa' means 'I am', and 'Kaeru' means 'go back' but also means 'a frog'.
I guess that ,even if you read this and understand/understood,you should/would think nothing is funny ,but you is are right.0 votedMarch 7, 20151To Improve my Bad Habits
I have bad habits what that I would like to improve/fix, but it would take quite some time (to fix them).
Although I feel a little bit embarassed to talk about my bad habits though, I decided to write one of them.
It is that I want to give up to spend wasting time stop wasting my time. For instance, I want to stop watching TV, to surfing the internet, and to going window shopping without objectives. Not to watch TV and not to go window shopping are almost done with improving. I am almost there with refraining from watching TV and window shopping.
But the most difficult thing is not to surf the internet. The reason why is, at first I look up something I don't know through on the internet, and then I find something new I don't understand and keep looking it up, and then I am repeating repeating the same cycle. In the meantime After a while, I realize I have spent some time while forgetting my first objective.
But I believe that bad habits would get improving be improved more easily with practice like learning languages/language-learning.
Thank you for reading!0 votedMarch 7, 20152As I get older, I perfer to stay around my home
I went to Nagoya today.
Nagoya is a metropolitan and it takes about 30mins from the station near my house to get there.
I went to a culture center(it is like a community center which provides many courses to learn) to see a/an drawing/art class.
I am interested in taking the drawing/art class from/in April, but thinking about considering community/social time, I feel a little tired.
(In Japanese めんどくさい。) If the culture center was located in my neiborhood, I will would take the course without any hesitation, but considering the time I need before the class and after the class, I lose my drive/will.(やる気がうせる)
Am I get becoming lazy? When I was in my 20s, I went to Nagoya almost every weekends, but recently I would rather stay around in my town.0 votedMarch 7, 20151
