    When and where shoud I go?

    I joined the assembly a few days ago. The assembly required an application via the web, so I used the website to join. It was the first time using that site for me, and according to the page, the schedual for the assembly was:

    - The Date: Sunday, February 22th, 2015
    - The Time: 10:00am to 5:30pm
    - The Place: Harajyuku Station Omotesando Exit
    - The Description:
    The parade would begin at 16:00.

    It seems there is nothing wrong. But when I saw these information the first time, I misunderstood. I mean I was confused; 5:30pm and 15:30. So, I thought why this assembly will end before starting the parade? The parade will begin at 16:00 but this assembly will end at 15:30. Why? Will it be optional to go to the parade? I think people assume that they can't easily get out of their way thinking. It can be considered one of Murphy's laws, is that right? Anyway, the law applied to me. So, I understand what it meant. However, after calming myself, I've solved these questions on my own.

    But, this story is not over yet. The same day, I arrived at the station and went to the exit. Then I saw that there were so many people, which reminded me. I had forgotten to write down a specific place to meet, and I couldn't search it because my mobile phone was dead. Where should I go? So, I looked around and managed to find the group, we were all heading to the same destination, which helped me find them. It reassured me so much. After that I enjoyed meeting and talking with new people.

    In ONE presentation page: This is a result from…OR These are results from… OR?

    What would you say at the beginning of introducing ONE presentation slide or page as in Power Point or in a sheet of paper?
    If the presentation material contains several data, what SINGULAR-PLURAL CONCEPTS are correct? The followings are example sentences and my questions.

     

    "These are results from." Is the better option.

    1.
    "These are results from xxx." (xxx could be our analysis(ses), statistics, experiment(s), etc)
    I am here intending that "These" in this sentence means "These (data/figures/graphs/pictures)".
    If there are several results, this sentence looks okay.

     

    That sentance works perfectly. No errors.

    2.
    "This is a result from xxx"
    Here, I am supposing "This" means "This (slide/page)" differently from 1.
    When there is only one data in the slide, this sentence seems to work.
    However, even if there are several data in the slide, is it possible to regard these data as one result as in this example sentence?

    3.
    "This (slide/page) is/shows results from xxx"
    I don’t know whether or not “This; SINGULAR” and “results; PLURAL” can be used in the same sentence.
    “shows” seems to include “several data” afterword because one slide/page includes several things (data, figures, etc). Is this correct?

     

    "This page shows results from xxx"

    Singulars and plurals can be used in the same sentance, but it depends on what words you are using.

    "Shows" Implies that it is currently showing.

    "Will Show" Is if they cannot see it (the slide).

    but in that case, they can, so "Shows" is acceptable.

    4.
    Instead of “This is/These are”, does “Here is/Here are” work?

     

    Yes, you are correct, using "These are" to replace "This is" and "Here are" to replace "Here is" works well for a presentation.

    You are welcome.

    Today is a very important day for the Japanese people. The big earthquake happened in Tohoku just four years ago. More than ten thousand people died by the earthquake, we shouldn't forget that day. May they rest in peace.

    Inviting a friend

    Dear Nancy,
    How is everything going recently? There is going to be a party at my home next Sunday, and I’d like you to join it.

    This party is for my son’s third birthday. It’s an important occasion for him because after that day he will attend kindergarten and learn to live independently day by day. That’s why I will have this celebration.

    I’ve invited all my friends who have children older than my boy. We are going to share the experiences on how to take care of kids when they are living away from home for the first time. I have also asked them to bring their children here and do some activities.

    As having worked as a nurse for years, you are particularly welcomed to come and give us some advice and suggestions on raising kids. Also, if you would like to bring your daughter and introduce her to other kids, that would be great.

    Sincerely,
    Hitperson
