When saying "in case" it usually means to prepare for a bad situation. So in the first sentence "in case my father joins her" sounds like it would be a bad thing. The second one means the mother won't go to London alone. She will only go if the father joins her. I would say it one of these ways: My mother will travel to London if my father will join her. My mother will travel to London if my father will go with her. My mother will travel to London if my father will travel with her.

This is a 3 year Q&A book. On each page, there is a question for the day and three answer boxes. I bought this book on New Year’s day. As I keep writing this sort of daily journal, I’d like to organize my thoughts and know more about myself. For example, the question for yesterday was “Is there a song that is stuck in your head all day without realizing it?” (Or: Is there a song you hum all day without realizing it?) I wrote down two songs which my sister is trying to arrange for four voices to submit a contest. One is ‘바람이 부네요(The wind is blowing)’ and the other is ‘사랑이 아니라 말하지 말아요(Don’t tell me it’s not love)’ by 이소라(Sora Lee) who is a Korean artist. I like her music style, but I don’t listen to her music very often, because it makes me sentimental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB4IV27-i6k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc8alvxOSew

I like watching the snow fall from inside the cozy house.

If you say “Strawberry is” it is no longer referring to the fruit, but more like the flavor. “Strawberry is my favorite flavor” “Strawberry is my favorite kind of milkshake” To be the fruit it needs to be plural: “Strawberries grow well in California.” “Strawberries are rich in vitamin C” “The world’s leaders” is a bit of a trick question in my opinion. I think it is because of the word “The”. News headlines often say “World leaders gather...” or “World leaders are shocked...” but not “The world leaders” “The women” means a specific group of women. Example: “The women bought new shoes” —this does not mean all women of the world bought shoes. “Women bought more shoes in 2002 than in 2001.” This means every woman on earth bought more shoes in 2002. I don’t quite understand the last question, but I think it’s because “it’s a” means one motorbike of many made. “It’s the” May mean the motorbike model.

[Please correct the sentence if it has any mistakes,thanks] 1. Even though there are some challenging issues involved with Education, I still want to be a teacher more than anything else. 2. A good teacher should be on time，make classes interesting and improve students’ involvement as much as possible.

Written Exercise 23- Do you believe that cats have 9 lives?(你相信猫有9条性命吗？） There is a saying that cats have 9 lives. Today, I believe it! Yesterday, our pregnant mother cat ate something bad. We guessed she might have accidentally eaten food that people placed somewhere to poison mice. We realized the cat was unwell when we saw her watering mouth. We tried to approach and rescue her but she stepped back, jumped high and hid in corners where we could not reach. We also tried to coax her out with fish meat, but it did not work. We had no idea what to do. We continually went back to where the cat hid and checked how she was feeling. Finally, the cat had left. We looked for her but did not find her. The mother cat was missing the whole day and night. We thought she might have died somewhere. This morning, we found the cat was still alive. She came out from one of the corners and meowed at us. We were so surprised and happy. She looked a little bit weak. She shiveringly sat on the ground and looked at us. We immediately brought food and fed her. We were so happy she still had an appetite. We guessed that the cat ate grasses to make herself vomit to empty her stomach after eating poisoning food. That's why she survived. The cat did not have a name and we never named her. Today we gave her a nickname"死不去” which means too strong to die. :D Do you have any ideas to give her an English name? If yes, please feel free to tell me! As Chinese New Year is coming soon, a lot of things need to be done before the holiday. Recently, I don't have much extra time to write and post exercises on italki. Maybe this will be the last one I post on here before the new year holiday. Next time I may come back with the news that the mother gives birth to kittens, who knows, right? Thank you for reading! It would be great if any of you would help me correct this.
