One mispelled word (goodbye) the rest is correct!

Sumo wrestling

I went to watch Sumo wrestling in a Shinto shrine. It was free of charge. There were many foreign tourists.

It was not usual Sumo match* but** was*** offered to the Shinto deity. Sumo is a Japanese traditional sport but origin of it was one of Shinto rituals.

These days, the grand champions are foreigners from Mongol or Europe but we enjoy Sumo match**** anyway.

* It sounds like this is a singular match that you're talking about. If you put the word in the singular form it would need "a/an" in front of it. If you are talking about many sumo matches you get rid of "a/an" and add an "s" on match.

** "But" is used for contridiction, a sentrncd that you would consider to be the opposite of the first part follows after "but." "The weather was good in the morning, but it rained in the afternoon." "At first he seemed like a mean old man, but it turned out he was really nice."

*** The subject is missing before was. You talk about something being offered, likely the sumo match, but you didn't say what it was.

*** Same thing as before with "a match" vs "sumo matches"

A quick note on insurence, as this is a big part of what sets America apart from Canada. In America private insurence companies help with the expense of a doctor's visit. You pay an amount, the amount varries by company and plan, every month to the insurence company and, in turn, the company will cover some of the costs of a doctors visit. It's almost like a gamble. Will it cost me more to have insurence, or more to go to the doctor? Usually you end up paying more for having inusurence, but it's nice to have the peace of mind that if you ever get into really deep trouble they can pick up the bill.

Recently America is working on implementing National Healthcare so that all American Citizens have medical insurence. I don't know the specifics but it's my understanding that if you currently uninsured you have to get insurence before next year, or rather by some particular time, either a private insurence, or through the american government. If you don't by the alloted time they'll raise your taxes. I may be wrong though.

In the US we have a private hospitals meaning the hostipital is run like a business. Patients pay out of their own pocket to see a doctor and have what treatments they want done. They can often choose their own doctor, but it can be limited by availability, or by insurence. Usually, if you feel unwell, you call to set up an appointment. Sometimes it's hard to schedule one based on a doctor's availablity, but you can usually get in sometime that week, or you could always see a different doctor. In cases when you need medical attention quickly, but it's not life threatning you can get an apointment in less than 2 hours in "urgent care" facilities. For life threatning emergices you go to the E.R. or Emergency Room. You are usually taken by ambulence for imidiate surgery so you don't die.

A general practitioner, also known as a family doctor, is someone has a general knowledge of all fields of medicine, instead of one specific speciality. You see a general practitioner to be diagnosed with colds, flus, infections, and other typical diseases, or they can recomend you to a specialist if it's something they arn't as familiar with.

Your "regular" doctor is the one you go to most frequently. Usually you see the same doctor over and over again and you become a "regular" customer, as you frequent his office year after year.
