Over the course of - Over the course of a month I traveled to three different statesIn the process of - In the process of changing my name
In the course of - in the course of 1939 world war 2 began ( although this phrase isn't commonly used among native speakers)
it sounds quite old fashioned. "in the course of 2017 I learned to drive." would be correct but I don't hear it used when speaking.

It is true that people these days tend to wear clothes made from Animal Hide and for several reasons. One reason is, fur and leather clothes are usually very fashionable. Although they cost a lot of money, people are still willing to purchase them just to follow the trend. Another reason is, In some countries people hunt animals for their Hide to make warm and soft clothes. Thanks to those furs they can survive throughout the winter. Lastly, no one can deny that animal hide is a good material. It is thick, strong and we can easily make durable clothes with it such as boots, coats, jeans, etc... To sum it up, people like wearing animal hide because of its many uses.0 votedMarch 24, 20180The difference between the US and Korea regarding a party
I noticed that in American movies, that they throw a lot of parties at Peoples houses when they are in college and even High school. But in Korea, throwing parties is not our culture. I thought about the reasons why we don’t throw parties. Its Mainly because the Housing environment is different. Most Koreans live in apartments, which means that a lot of families live in the same building. Depending on the structure, there are at least 2 families and up to 6 families on each floor. Since there are lots of families living in apartments. Lots of noise from a party will create a problem. But when you see houses in America, each house has their own front & back yard and the houses are spaced out. So even if they throw a party, they won’t cause as much of an inconvenience to neighbors as Korean house parties would. There is also a cultural difference, where Korean students focus more on their studies, which is another reason as well. It’s such a big deal to take entrance exams and get into a university so a lot of students focus their time and effort on their studies. Which means they don’t really have enough time to just chill or throw a party. Plus drinking isn't allowed until you turn 20, so even if we threw a party there would be no alcohol ."But when you see houses in America, each house has their own front & back yard and the houses are spaced out."
I didn't change this completely because it makes sense and it is pretty correct, but in a previous sentence you said "most Koreans live in apartments" so instead you could say "but a lot of Americans live in houses or throw house parties" because apartment describes a building that has multiple apartments/flats that people live in that generally don't have a backyard etc.., whereas house describes a standalone building that only one family lives in (generally.)
let me know if anything is unclear!

I went to Tohoku region in Japan to sightsee. (I live in Tokyo )This region is one of the most historic places in Japan .
This trip was very fun and made me think how lucky we are since this region has experienced one of the biggest earthquakes in world and a crazy Tsunami 7 years ago.
That earthquake still makes people sad, I felt this emotion deeply in Tohoku, but the people are working hard to build a new life.
They inspired me to be stronger.
