    That's an interesting question. My interpretation of the American dream is to have the freedom to pursue anything you wish to pursue. Things like race, gender, and social status do not matter because if you work hard and put your mind to something, you can do anything you wish to do, and be anything you wish to be. In America, it's possible. At least that's my interpretation. :)

    What makes a teacher memorable?

    First of all, I think it's the teacher's traits. I mean that, In my opinion, a genuine teacher should do take his/her part properly. You know that nowdays some teachers educate and teach (pick educate or teach, both mean the same thing) their children wrong(?) (Meant to be a question?) Why? It's because they don't understand how to be a genuine teachers. Personally, I think that a teacher on the one hand, a teacher should be kind, calm and benevolent, but on the other hand, he or she should be strict, fair and responsible.

     

    The wording for this one is a little weird.

    (In my opinion, a teacher should set an example to for his or her pupils by own behavior.)

     

    Try this instead:

    In my opinion, teachers should model good behavior, so they can set a positive example for their students.

    Culture Circle

    One of the cool things (I believe) about this site is that you can meet people from all around the world. It's interesting to learn about other cultures and customs, but difficult for many people to do so at once. If you have an interesting story about your culture, please share it. 

     

    Also, I'd you have any questions about America, do share them. This circle is meant for anyone who wants to learn about another culture.

    The first sentence is correct. For the second sentence, I would change it to, "If so, I have a question regarding your methods." It sounds a little more natural. ;)

    When it says Tommy has "handled" the paintings, it simply means he's worked with them. It doesn't specify what exactly he's done, but handled is a general term for worked with them in some way.

    "That being said" is something you would use to connect or expand similar ideas. One way to use it is by first making a statement (period), then adding "that being said" to the beginning of your second sentence as a way to connect ideas. For example,

    The sentence is correct, and for most native English speakers, the use of "mails" or "many" would sound strange if used in this sentence. This is mostly something you pick up from speaking English for a while, but I'll try to explain it as best as I can. First, "mails" isn't a word, so you don't need to worry about that one. "Many" is used to describe the plural of a noun. For example, I saw many cats today, cats being the plural of cat. It sounds strange to most English speakers if you said, I saw many cat today. Thus, "many" is used to describe plural nouns. However, there isn't really a good plural word for mail, so "many" is simply not used at all in this context. Hope this helps ^_^

    This sentence is saying that bagged Starbucks coffee sold in stores has been very popular the past few years. Dunkin' Donuts made a deal with the company Procter & Gamble so their coffee can be sold in stores too, presumably to make money off of this trend.

    Stereotypes about Japan I've heard some stereotypes about Japan and the people in Japan and I'm wondering to what extent they are true, if they are true at all. 1. As most Japanese people are shy, you will not find many loud or outgoing people like the ones in some animes. 2. A lot of the pop culture and popular fashion revolves around cuteness and appearing cute or doll-like. 3. Women have a harder time becoming successful in the business world compared to men.
