A recipe Japche(Korean food)
A recipe Japche(Korean food)
Today, I’d like to write about a recipe for Korean food. It’s Japche(Stir-fried Glass Noodles and Vegetables). The recipe for Japche varies can be different from person to person. [<em>This isn't exactly wrong but its more natural to say that it varies</em>] It’s a my simple recipe. [<em>I'm not sure exactly what you mean it could be "It's a simple recipe" or "This is my simple recipe"</em>]
Main ingredients: Korean glass noodles, beef or pork, mushroom, spinach, carrot, and onion. You can put in any vegetable you like. If you are vegetarian, you can skip the beef or pork and add more vegetables that you like.)
First, slice the beef and put it in a bowl. And Then add some soy sauce source(2 spoons), crushed garlic(1 spoon), some sugar(1 spoon) and sesame oil(1 teaspoon). Mix them well. They It will smell like Bulgogi(seasoned barbequed beef). Put them the mixture in the refrigerator while you prepareing the other ingredients.
Second, now you can prepare the vegetables. [<em>You can also say "Now you can prepare the vegetables" but you wouldn't use "Second, " with that sentence</em>]
-Spinach: Wash the spinach clean and put it in boiling water for about 30 seconds. And Then take the spinach out and cool it in the cold water. Squeeze it out. Put it in a bowl and then add some soy sauce source(2 spoon) and sesame oil(1 tea spoon).
Mushroom: Wash the mushrooms clean and slice them it. Stir Cook them in a hot pan with a little oil and a pinch of salt. ["<em>Stir" isn't grammatically wrong but what you really mean is to cook the mushrooms so that is why I changed it</em>]
Carrot and onion: Wash the carrots and onions clean and slice them. Stir Cook them in a hot pan with a little oil and a pinch of salt.
Third, now you have to stir cook the beef. [<em>You can also say "Now you have to cook the beef" but you wouldn't use "Third, " with that sentence.</em>] Put them it in a hot pan with oil and stir them when cook until the beef is no longer pink.
Fourth, you should boil the Korean glass noodles well. Put them in boiling water for about 10 minutes. After about 10 minutes, take them out. The noodles become transparent You can see transparent noodles if they are cooked well.
The last Finally, put all the ingredients them in a big bowl together and mixed well. And Add some crushed garlic(1 spoon), soy sauce source(2 spoons), some ground black pepper, some sesame seeds, and sesame oil(1 spoon).
Now you can enjoy Japche.<em>Just 2 comments: In English, you don't wash something clean. You just wash something. It's understood that it will be clean. You can also either "wash something" or "clean something" and they mean almost the same thing. Also stirring just means that you are moving the food around with a spoon or other utensil. Cooking is where you actually change the food from being raw to being cooked. </em>
The recipe looks good tho, I'll have to try it someday.

Today is my first day at my new job. I am a Korean teacher in at a high school.
Usually, I get got up early on the first day of a my new job because I felt feel nervous. Especially, this time, I felt nervous. My my boss let me come to school early yesterday. Bbecause a the previous teacher had ended up the scope of the examination,. [<em>I'm not sure what you mean here by "ended the scope of the examination" I think you might mean that the teacher "finished teaching the material on the examination</em>"] I gave let the students the self-study study on their own and got the answered questions about what they didn't understand during the class study. Some students prepared a lot for on their the examination they will take on next week very hard. Other students chatted with each other. Looking at students who study very hard reminds me of my school years. And It gives me a motivation to work really hard at anything I decide to do. to decide to do anything very hard. Young students have a lot of passion to try to do everything. Anyway, after the an exam, I will teach my students with passion.I corrected some grammar and made it more natural sounding. Good luck at your new job!

I saw two movies today., 'The Impossible' and 'X plus Y'.
The first one is about a family who is affected by a tsunami.
It's a true story but I don't exactly know where and when it happened.
There is a family who was affected by a tsunami when they enjoyed their vacations in during Christmas.
They all split up. But but eventually, they found each other dramatically.
The story and directing was were good. The the cast's acting was great. I cried during most of the running time. <em>[A more natural way to say this is: I cried during most of the movie.]</em>
The second one is about a young male math genius boy who finds the meaning of love little by little.
Nathan, the main character, is a high school student boy. He can solve the equations, but he can't solve his feelings for the people around him. But finally he understands understood what love is by through his mom, his teacher, and his girlfriend. <em>[I wasn't sure of your meaning but I guessed that you meant that Nathan learned what love is through his love for his mother, teacher, and girlfriend.]</em>
Nathan is an autistic boy, but I couldn't really feel his mental problem through Asa's acting.
Is is that because I projected the real Asa onto Nathan? I don't know.
Anyway, this one was also good in the directing directed well. <em>[You can also say: This one also had good directing.]</em><em>
</em>I just corrected some grammar and made it a little more natural sounding. The movies sounded interesting.

My sister made a <em>the</em> wrong reservation for <em>a</em> hotel in Prague. My sister and I are planning to travel to Prague while <em>when</em> she visits me in Europe. We decided to go to Prague as it is really beautiful and women generally love the city so much. I wanted to make a reservation <em>myself</em> on my own (myself, by myself) but something went wrong when I tried to book a hotel room. My card didn't work <em>the first time</em> in the first place. So I tried again, and then <em>the</em> price of the hotel room just went up over 50 Euros. What a funny situation. So I talked with my sister and we decided to book another hotel. When I had tried to book another hotel that we chose to stay in, my card was blocked again for some reason. I suppose it is because of <em>a</em> security reason that is really stupid. Korean banks block nearly everything. So, I asked my sister to make a reservation for us. However, she made a mistake when <em>s</em>he booked a <em>the </em>hotel room. She booked <em>a room</em> for only one person instead of two people. I sent an e-mail to the hotel that we made a mistake and asked what we have to do to make it right (to sort it out). I hope we will just pay <em>an</em> extra <em>fee [instead of fee you can also say charge]</em> cost (we will be charged a bit more) and then everything will be fixed.
Your english writing is really good! I just corrected some grammar and made it more natural sounding.
