    Does your employer's location have GPS with themselves? (I’m not sure what you’re asking with ‘with themselves?’ If you explain a little more, I can help you find the right words to use) Does your friend have a mobile? When should I use Do/Does | Have/Has — I, we, you, they: use DO and HAVE He, she, it: use DOES and HAS Do (I/we/you/they) have a pencil? Does (he/she/it) have a pencil? Yes, (I/we/you/they) have a pencil. Yes, (he/she/it) has a pencil. In your sentence above ‘your employer’s location’ can be substituted with the pronoun ‘it’. And ‘your friend’ is a ‘he/she’ so you use DOES. So that’s a trick to know which to use! **The rules I explained above are for auxiliary verbs. The HAVE in both example sentences is the main verb (not the auxiliary verb) so you use the plain form of HAVE. Yes, she does have a pencil.

    Today , I’m going talk about my hobby.

    I love to traveling to foreign places and talking to new people(s) because I can (know) learn new information and about cultures.

    This experience broadens my horizons.

    I have been to many countries. For example, China, Korea, Cambodia, Thailand, Turkey and Bali. And I’m going to Taiwan this summer vacation with my co-worker.

    If you find mistake, please let me know.


    Well done!! Let me know if you have any questions.

    Have fun in Taiwan, the food is very delicious there!

    They are very similar. They both are specifying people of a particular type. ‘From the likes of you’ is more old fashion language. “From the likes of you” Example: I wouldn’t expect vulgar language from the likes of you. “From guys like you” Example: I wouldn’t expect vulgar language from guys like you. Let me know if you have any further questions!

    He IS trying to improve his English. (With a SUBJECT and an -ING VERB you need a HELPING VERB inbetween- I AM trying. He IS sleeping. You ARE learning. ) Nice job!! Let me know if you are interested in lessons. I am a new and energetic teacher on Italki.

    "The most important person in my life" (fantasy)

    I don't remember how we met. Just one day I realized that here was I and there was she. We've known each other for more than twenty years. We've seen so many tears and heard so much laughter during all this time that I could call her my life's most important person.
    —
    And now I want to find her. Although it's not the first time when she's missed gone missing, but (since you start with 'although' you don't need 'but' here) I've got a strange feeling. As if she wouldn't come back. As if she left me forever. Damn! What the hell! Where is she?
    I've talked to some of our common friends, and they said they remembered her very well but don't know still not knowing where exactly she could be, while I was am a stranger to them! What? Is it their mistake? Or just a stupid joke? However, I found some her traces of her. I need to go inside, deeper inside, come to go back to the place of our last meeting. I don't remember where and when it happened.
    Strange. But still... I need to find her. I have to do it.
    ...I'm going through the crowds of people, they all are bumping into me, and it's hurting hurts. I think I've met all of them before. Look, here is my classmate who left our school after the third grade, he's still a ten-year-old boy. And here is my neighbor I lived with several years ago. Oh, she is still wearing those super high heels. And that girl and that man...
    Pain. The further I go, the more painful their punches. What have I done to them?
    Push. Gah.
    They've started to go faster. Punches are coming from all sides. Why? I don't know. Maybe it's some kind of her protection for her. Or just a way to remind me about her.
    Yep, the last one seems to be true. I need to remember her.
    People from the time when she was a child. People from the time when she was happy. School, university, family. It's just memories, but what's going on with these people in reality?
    I don't know. I've lost contact with lost contacts of almost all of them. And some are already dead. But where is she?
    The flow's becoming slower. Hands, faces, eyes. Parents, brother, best friends.
    No one any more.
    Emptiness.
    What's going on? Where is she? Why I'm alone here? What..?
    Two chairs.
    Nice.

    I'm coming closer. Somebody's appearing in the dark.
    I'm sitting down. Somebody's sitting down too.
    I'm crossing my legs, putting the right one over the left. Somebody's their crossing legs, putting left over right.
    What the heck? Is it a joke again? Is it a mirror standing here?

    No.
    It's not a mirror.
    It's she her, the person I want to find. It's me, the person nobody knows. From the future to now.


    Beautiful! Nicely done :)

    Example sentences which are using vocabulary I'm studying

    eligible) He is not eligible to be such a leader because he often changes his mind.

    he enrolls at the school because he has eligibility to.

    while) Sleeping while standing is my special ability. perfect!

    concerned) If you're concerned about your parcel, you have the option to send it as priority.

    imply) My boss' smile implied that he's so very angry.

    complain) I don't like people who complain and sigh in public. perfect!

    She complained about her ex boyfriend. perfect!

    impressive) The song was great because it has many impressive words. This works if you mean like 洗練された言語. But if your mean something more like 感動, impactful, moving, or expressive fits more.

        *Japanese is much more nuanced and descriptive with adjectives like this, so it can be difficult to give the exact same meaning in English. 

    attribute) Honestly, I wanted to attribute my mistake to others a little. 

    Please correct and give me your advice. Thank you.


    Awesome sentences! Let me know if you have any questions!
