I felt down today because of an unexpected occurrence. I usually chat with foreign friends on Skype to learn English and to teach Japanese. Today, probably around the noon, a man called me on Skype. By the way, I write my Skype ID on my italki profile on italki so there're a lot of people I don't know in my contact address list. The man was one of them. I don't know him at all and we have never talked with each other. I then thought, however, we would just talked in English and Japanese then. First, we said hello and introduced ourselves in turn. He was a very nice guy and we found a thing in common, 'weight training'. So, we had a lively conversation about it. And just then, he said, 'Why don't we talk on video call?', and I consented to the proposal. On the screen of my computer a Caucasian macho man was in a tank-top and twitching the muscles of his chest. I thought he was just a funny person. And then, he said 'let me see your muscle.' I felt so embarrassed but I took my outerwear off and showed him my muscle. Obviously, mine was inferior to his, but he admired mine. 'Let me see your leg muscle he said. I have played soccer for a long time, so I was proud of my leg muscles. I changed my trousers into half pants and showed him. And then, 'I don't see it clearly. You should take the pants off.' I thought it was weird, so I refused. But he persisted with that. I ventured to ask him 'are you gay?' And then, he said 'I'm bisexual.'
... I hung the video call up immediately and blocked and deleted his ID from my contact list.
First of all, I'm straight! I have a mustache, and while it may be true that some gay people have a mustache, it's not necessarily true that all the people who have a mustache are gay. I don't hate gay people, but I just want to learn English!
I want to talk with girls...(mumbling)I thought, however, we just talked in English and Japanese then.
This story made me laugh. I changed the word order on a few sentences and found a few errors but overall it is well written.
0 votedMarch 20, 20152People attend college for a lot of different reasons. I believe that the three most common reasons are, to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and of the world around them.
Career preparation is probably the primary reason that people attend college. These days, the job market is very competitive. Careers such as information technology will need many new workers in the near future. At college, students can learn new skills for these careers and increase their opportunities for the future.
Students also go to college to have new experiences. For many, it is their first time away from home. At college, they can meet new people from different places. They can see what life is like in a different city. They can learn to live on their own and take care of themselves without having their family always nearby.
At college, students have the opportunity to increase their knowledge. As they decide what they want to study, pursue their studies, and interact with their classmates, they learn a lot about themselves. They also, of course, have the opportunity to learn about many subjects in their classes. In addition to the skills and knowledge related to their career, college students also have the chance to take classes in other areas. For many, this will be their last chance to study different subjects.
Colleges offer much more than career preparation; they offer the opportunity to have new experiences and to learn many kinds of things. I think all of these are reasons why people attend college.
英語上手ね!This is a well written article. I didn't find much to correct.

Sometimes we learn things from books but the best thing is to learn through experience!
Experience is something that teaches you important things and determines your actions, but sometimes experience teaches the wrong things and you end up overly paranoid over things such as PTSD.

That explains everything!
