The first sentence doesn't actually make sense. In order to make it appropriate we'd have to switch some words around and make it into "I think they don't ever brush their teeth." If we take this into account then yes, all three sentences have the same meaning. Every sentence explains that someone must not be brushing their teeth, no matter how it's worded.

Overcome your fear

Nobody <s>agreet</s> agreed with me when I said I want to go travelling in India alone. But I sitll insisted because I want to go. I don't want to be afraid of what difficulties that I will meet.

Notes

I hope you don't mind my corrections, you did a good job telling your story. It is comprehensible and gets the main theme acrossed. I understood what you were trying to say 100%, I commend you on your efforts.

One common, small mistake I see throughout your writing is the confusion of your punctuation. No worries though, you'll easily be able to correct it. From now on, place your period at the end of a sentence and then insert a space. The same thing with comas, after a coma, leave a space.

For example:
mistakes

"But I sitll insist ,because I want to go ,I don't afraid what difficult that will meet .just I know it will be
inprove my independent ability and also can bring more confident to me ."

correction

But I still insist, because I want to go. I don't want to be afraid of what difficulties that I will meet, I just know it will improve my independence and confidence.

So remember! 💡💡💡

a sentence should flow like this:
word -> period -> space
word -> coma -> space

a sentence DOES NOT flow like this:
word -> space -> period
word -> space -> coma
______________________________________________
Conclusion

Overall, no matter what language you would have told this story in, it is very beautiful. It is inspirational and I can see it being used by youth and elders all the same, it's a lesson everyone can learn from. You should be proud for being so brave and I thank you for sharing your story. We are all learning, and we are all teaching. Thank you for teaching me bravery. If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

Notes

This is an awesome notebook. I commend you on your effort and your outstanding progress, great job! I hope you don't mind my corrections, I tried my best to keep the story in your own words and still perfect minor flaws.

Although, if I could recommend one thing to you, it would be joining your sentences. Your writing is understandable and it gets the main points of the story covered, but by joining your sentences it will hold more meaning.
Try joining more sentences.

For Example:

I have to go to work. Because I need to make a living.

You can join these. Turn two sentences into one.

1) I have to go to work, because I need to make a living.
Or
2) Because I need to make a living, I have to go to work.

By eliminating the period between the two sentences you would be skipping over a brief pause, making readers more engaged. Think of it this way. Let's say that we are speaking in public face to face. When you speak to someone your sentences will flow naturally, just like in writing. Try not to create a longer pause than needed. Using a coma in place for a period will create a shorter pause, just make sure the combination is appropriate.

For example:

Combining sentences
colorcode: incorrect / correct

I saw a cat. It was cute.
I saw a cat, it was cute.

In this scenario we could use a coma because it was appropriate, the topics were related. Now i'll show you an example of sentences that cannot be combined.

My friends are nice. I like pizza.
My friends are nice, I like pizza.

We can't combine these sentences because they have nothing to do with eachother.

The last bit of advice I would give you is to refrain from starting sentences with the words "because, so, and". It's definitely fine if you're using these at the beginning of casual sentences with friends and such, but in professional settings I would stay away from them unless they're used for joining sentences.

Do not begin sentences with:
Because / so / and 
______________________________
Conclusion

Wow, you told a great story! You took an everyday event and you expressed how it made you feel and unraveled an entire plot in great, comprhensive english. Your story also teaches others to try new things even if we think we don't like them, we should be openminded and try them.
You should be proud! Beautiful work! Keep believing in yourself, have a good day. Let me know if you have any questions!

Dong Hyuk's Diary - 023

Correction

I couldn't wake up early today because there was a company dinner yesterday.
Of course, I didn't drink any whiskey, <s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">Because</s> it is my goal <s style="background-color: rgb(194, 133, 255);">of</s> this year.
_________________________________________________

What did we do?

First, I got rid of the first period and conjoined the first and second sentence, they don't make sense alone. Because the sentences were joined, naturally some of the letters turned lowercase. I added in an "a", just to make sense of things. Then I removed "because" and replaced it with a coma, i'll explain why or an alterative to your sentence. Lastly, I removed "of", it will help your sentence flow more clearly.

For every sentence you make, when using because, try to have a cause and effect.

For example:

"I fell off of a chair because I lost balance."

The cause is that I lost balance.
The effect is that I fell off of a chair.
_______________________________________________

Suggestion

OR, you could change the last sentence entirely to:
Because it is my goal this year, I didn't drink whiskey.

___________________________________________________

Advice

Try to stay away from starting a sentence with the word "Because", there is a way to do it that is correct and incorrect. You can start a sentence with "because" if it is complete. For example:

The correct way

"Because the girls were tired, they went to sleep."

It includes a cause and effect, it has two parts.
They were tired, they went to sleep.

The incorrect way

"Because the girls were tired."

This leaves the reader confused, it's missing the other half.
If you walked up to someone and said "because it is my goal this year", they would be very confused. A complete sentence would be "Because it is my goal this year, I didn't drink whiskey."

____________________________________________

Conclusion

Your entry tells a story and it is comprehensible. I commend you on your goal, it's excellent! Keep up the good work! I hope my notes give you an idea on how we can utilize the word "because", and guide you into a new direction. I tried my best to color code things to make them more understanding. I look forward to your improvement, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

My answers to problems on tests(e.g. TOEFL, EIKEN)
I will use the notebook system to check that my expression or the way of using words on the answers is natural for natives.

Your correction for killing time will makes me so happy^^
Taking your time to make corrections will make me very happy. ^^
Thank you for reading!

(Otherwise, very good!) :)

I agree with Mumtaz. ^^ I feel like that situation is rare but I guess it is very possible. I am a musician myself and my life is easily summed up in one word, "Music". By writing this way you'd attract musicians. By seeing your profile, I was already interested because you've mentioned being a musician. Congratulations, you've found one. Haha, my native language is also English.

Peace

I'm a peaceful man who loves to communicate with people. Whatever his/her nationality, religion, gay, lesbian, straight, stupid, smart, share the same ideas with me or not - I don't care. Actually, we are a part from this world. Actually, it is our world. So in my opinion, we have to accept each other and it is to give advice more than doing silly things. So if you give any advice, try to be serious and cheerful. Finally, try to find a reason for love; not to find a reason to hate. From sitting here on my chair, I'm saying loudly: "I love all people, I love living in a peaceful world."

Not everyone is the world can come to one solution. Everyone has different experience, thoughts and opinions. Some people hold grudges because of the past and that just can't be forgotten. A lot of people still want to have slaves of a different race as well. Slavery is even still an issue. Like you, I wish for there to be peace. I think the world will be nonexistent before it happens though.
