A yogurt yogurt or a bowl of yogurt? yogurt? You could say "a yogurt" if it's a small plastic or glass cup of yogurt from the store. If you poured it into a bowl from a large container, "a bowl of yogurt" is right.
I really want to say talk about my feelings right now. I was eating a plain yogurt and adding some flozen buleberries in to it, then it gradually got melted into the yogurt and the clolor color had turned into the a mild purple. I thought I liked this color melting into the gentle purple. I thought of my friend, Shiori chan because she has the Kanji that means ''purple'' in her name. How's she going on doing lately? In that time when we are absent, When we don't see each other for a while, I really appreciate that we're on Facebook, sharing our daily living and catching up on things how we spend the our days.Yes, Facebook can be useful for staying in touch with friends! :)

Like Jan Halstead said, "surely" in this sentence means "you must think I am crazy" or "you will definitely think I am crazy." In this case, you could use either "probably" or "surely." It depends how certain you are that people think you're crazy.0 votedMarch 29, 20170
My daughter sang Christmas songs
Today is Saturday, the last school day of the week. Actually, my daughter went to school only in the morning because there is no school on Saturday afternoons.
This morning was a special one. The school organized a choir with the kindergarten pupils ("students" is less formal/more common). In France, from 3 to 5 there are 3 classes for children 3 to 5 years old : Petite, moyenne and grande sections.
My daughter attends the 'little section'. I'm not sure there is an equivalent in the U.S.? Kindergarten is from 5 years old, right?
Anyway, this morning was the day were when the little ones had to sing Christmas songs in front of their parents.
The kiddos had prepared this event for a while, rehearsed their lyrics and it should be really frightening exciting? nerve-racking? to see all the parents attending their performance in the school yard.
The teachers had set up rows of chairs in the school yard and small benches were installed right under a porch for the kids to sit on.
While all parents were sitting at in their our places, we were waiting patiently and a little anxiously our kids to show up.
The temperature was just above 3°C, so I was a bit cold but the sun was out and it helped us to bear the coldness.
The kids finally appeared wearing Christmas bobtail hats (I've never heard them called "bobtail hats." We usually say "Christmas hat" or "Santa hat") and wondering what this crowd was doing here.
They began to sing and I started to weep. I was so proud of my daughter, singing these French rhymes, considering her endeavor to pronounce words correctly.Great writing! It sounds like it was a special day.0 votedDecember 11, 20160- Yeah, these are both very casual ways of saying "I agree to do my part." I would probably say "Yeah, I'm in. I'll do my part." I noticed your sentences both said "whatever my part is" but it's not totally necessary. If I say "I'll do my part", that means I will help, but it doesn't necessarily mean that I know what I will be doing to help — or what "my part" is. I hope that makes sense.0 votedNovember 6, 20160
- Un bon weekend J'ai passé un bon weekend. Vendredi soir, j'ai eu une lećon de nager à la piscine de l'université. J'aime apprendre à nager, mais c'est gênant aussi ! Mon amie Katherine prend des cours avec moi. Elle m'a dit que son client au travail lui a répondu « Tu es courageuse ! » quand elle lui a dit qu'elle prend ces cours. Hier, j'ai lavé le linge et changé la cage de mes cochons d'inde. L'après-midi, j'ai préparé à coudre une jupe avec Katherine. Nous avons téléchargé un patron et le coupé. C'était la première fois pour moi, donc c'était un peu difficile ! Après nous avons fini la tâche, j'ai fait des courses et Brandon est venu chez moi. On a préparé le dîner (des tacos) et regardé deux films d'horreur: « Friday the 13th » et « Goodnight Mommy ». Le deuxième film est très effrayant ! Je suis sur le point de voir mon amie Laura. On va tricoter et parler au café. Bonne journée !October 30, 201640
- Yes, I didn't want to confuse SOFFY, but you can say "Who does live in Columbia?" for emphasis. If someone named a bunch of people who didn't live in Columbia, you could say "Well, who DOES live in Columbia?" in a joking way, for example.As well, in the example you gave ("He does live in Columbia"), it is used to emphasize that the first statement ("He does not live in Columbia") is wrong. But you wouldn't use "Who does live in Columbia?" as an opening question, as in SOFFY's original example. That would be bizarre. You would only use it for emphasis. It's not a standard or equivalent way to ask "Who lives in Columbia?", especially in written (rather than verbal) form. I didn't want to confuse SOFFY by discussing the rare instances when someone would use this form for emphasis.Also, your response to #1 ("Who does lives in Columbia?") was not correct. It would have to be "Who does live in Columbia?"0 votedOctober 30, 20160
