I'm going to give you a tour in my shared house.
I'm going to give you a tour.
This is kitchen. Make sure to wash the dishes, dry them, and put them back to the place where they were.
We have a strict garbage rule. When you have raw garbage, you need to put it into a small plastic bag. There are usually one or two in the kitchen so you can add the raw garbage anytime. When it's full, please tie the mouth of the plastic bag and put it into the larger burnable garbage bag to avoid bad smells.
Plastic garbage is something that says "PLA" on the package. Food trays, egg packaging (in Japan, it's plastic), styrofoam, packages of snacks, and containers of mayo and ketchup are all examples of waste that gets sorted into plastic garbage.
If the plastic garbage is too dirty (example: excessive food remnants), you can put it into burnable garbage bag.You can take cardboard once a month; please prop it against the wall. If you miss the trash collection day, you will need to put the cardboard back with your things and wait until the next month's collection day.
Directions to the trash collection area: Leave main door and going down the stairs. Make a left turn and it will be there. Often you will see the neighbor's trash already piled up. Please make sure to put the garbage under the net to prevent ravens from stealing left overs. You are not allowed to take out garbage the day before. Please put it out on the collection day by 8 pm.There are two restrooms and shower rooms on the 2nd floor. You can use the common hair dryer. Letters and postal cards are supposed to be here. You need to check them from time to time.
There are two residents on the 1st floor. There is a bath room for males there.
When you order something, it's important to tell the company or the delivering employee your phone number. As we don't have intercom, that's the only way you can receive it.
It's prohibited to leave your shoes here.
This is the laundry room. There are 3 laundry machine and 3 clothes dryers. If they are occupied but seem like they're finished, you may pull them out and put them into a bag or bin so that you can use them.
For women only: When you take a bath (or are waiting to take a bath), please place the magnet with your room number on the door. When you finish and notice that someone is waiting, please call her using the room number extension.0 votedOctober 20, 20182Trying to Get Fluent by the End of This Year
``I want to be fluent by the end of this year.´´ I've heard this phrase so many times that it's starting to sound like a joke. Some people say it, but I think that most of the time they don't really mean it. I like to think that I do mean it, because I practice every day. I listen to music, watch movies, make phone calls from time to time so I can practice my listening and speaking, and I try to write in English as much as I can. I was told that I'm already fluent by some people, and maybe in their definition of fluency, I am. However, I don't consider myself fluent, because despite being understood by most of the natives I've met, I still have to think about grammar and pronunciation quite a lot when speaking.
I'll keep practicing daily, so I can pull this off. I'm going to watch series or movies every day, write an entry on this website at least twice a week (maybe more), chat with my nice online friend and speak as much as I can so I can be satisfied with my English before the year ends.
Wow, great job! You've got a definitive plan and it sounds like a lot of energy!0 votedOctober 19, 20181Public health
Some people say the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. Others, however, say that this would have little effect on public health and that other measures are required. Discuss both these points of view and give your own opinion.(about 350 words)
It’s widely believed that developing public health plays a vital role in the whole society. There is a debate about whether increasing sports facilities or taking other measures is bestthe most effective way to improve public health.
Firstly, a few reasons can be found to support increasing facilities. One reason is that it develops people’s physical fitness and leads to a healthy lifestyle (OR "promotes a healthy lifestyle"). This is because there are most ofmany professional gymnast iCal equipments and companions. We can gain a scientific training as well as mutual supervision. To be specific, children can go to the swimming pool with their parents or friends in the evening. It will help them shape their body. In addition, we can have resilience and toughness by constantly sporting (more natural to say "by constantly being active).
In spite of the above mentioned reasons, it is also possible to see why so many people would rather take other measures. To begin with, by teaching people about health knowledge, it can help them to cultivate good personal hygiene, including frequent hand-washing. With environmental pollution and food safety are becoming much severer issues today, we need to focus more on our own habits to ensure our health. Therefore, health education is also a good measure to improve public health.
In conclusion, both ways of improving public health offer advantages to people. In my opinion, both are equally important and beneficial. Developing athletic facilities more directly improves the physical fitness, and other measures influences us subliminally.0 votedOctober 19, 20181Autumn
In Japan, it's getting cold these days. It's been cloudy or raining. But I like this season the best because the temperature is comfortable. I should keep myself positive and try everything.This is written perfectly. I have the same feelings as you about the weather. It has been so cold and rainy here, too. But I prefer to be cold. Hot is too uncomfortable.

I've watched an American drama called "Desperate Housewives." I watched just episode 1 about 5 or 6 years ago. But I was not into it, so I didn't watch after that. Someone who I know recommended it to me it 4 years ago. She thought I liked it. I hadn't had a chance to watch it for a long time. But I started watching it again a few weeks ago. The 1st episode did not interest me very much. But after I watched a few more episodes, I've been getting into it. I watched 6 episodes today! Oh, well, it's already over past 2am! I hope I don't oversleep tomorrow/today! Good night!0 votedOctober 19, 20182
