My day 1 from Costa Rica
This is my first entry in the notebook. So, I want to say some general info about me and about how my day was. I live in Costa Rica. I am a teacher, therefore, today I worked in my school. It was very good. I have one student learning Spanish, so I helped her (keep the tense the same). The school isn't big, but isn't too small. I like my job. In the morning (or, This morning,), I bought the newspaper, because I wanted to read about the soccer game that happened yesterday in my city. My favorite team won, so I was very happy. Then, I looked around ITALKI. I believe it's gonna be a very good tool to improve my English skills. Bye.Your English is very good! One suggestion: just saying "Bye." sounds abrupt in writing. Often you hear that in spoken conversation. Something like, "Goodbye", "Bye for now", "talk to you soon", etc. softens the tone.

I was stuck in on a mountain once when it was snowing a lot.Being stuck "in" a mountain doesn't make sense in this context, unless you were saying you were stuck "in a mountain cave", for example.

Dear Prof. XXX, (comma after the greeting)
I so appreciate your kind forwarding last month. We finally got in contact with the XXX, and all of the nominees in our school have sent our application forms to HU. We are now awaiting the results.
I chose your courses, XX and XX, during (or "for") the exchanging year, which were (if you already took them, or "will be" if you are going to take them in the future) very important parts of my study. It would be an amazing opportunity to spend my last undergraduate year at HU and take your courses. I am looking forward to it.
This opportunity will be valuable for me into get to adapting to the learning environment in Japan. I will be sponsored by Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC), and it which will pay for my living expenses during my study aboard. The CSC (or sponsorship) requires an invitation letter from HU, and it seems that the formal response from HU will fail to meet the deadline. I know it is a bit unreasonable and excessive, but I am quite worried about it. If possible, I would greatly appreciate a written invitation from you. Would you be willing to do so? Thank you for your consideration in helping me obtain this scholarship.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
XXX

IELTS 6.0Note: In this sentence: "I know it is a bit unreasonable and excessive, but I am quite worried about it.", It is a little unclear what you are referring to as excessive/unreasonable. The deadline? The request from the sponsorship? Asking the professor? You might consider leaving this one out. Or perhaps you could reword it to something like, "It is very important to me to meet the sponsorship's deadline." Just my suggestion! Good luck!

Just thoughts
I just lie lay down right now; (or "I am finally lying down;" or "I am just now lying down") it is at 12:38 a.m here. Then, I am trying to think of what I have done today, (or, "I'm trying to think about what I did today." Past tense: "I started to think about what I did during the day.") English thoughts, of course. And I thought , why not writing write it on in my notebook? So, That way, the peoples can correct me, and it would will be better. Anyway, I got up at 8 o'clock (not wrong to say "o'clock", but not used informally) a.m, after I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and washing my face. I had my (also not wrong, but sounds more formal than "I had breakfast") breakfast and brushed my teeth again. I studied a bit in the morning, and read a book whose the name is (More natural to say "A book called" or "a book titled"), 'The Lost Years'. It seemed cool. I made lunch for me and my uncle, because my godmother was at work. I cleaned the home house and washed my shoes. Then I studied again; that was cool! For my health, I ran at from 5:30 p.m until 6:30 p.m, more or less.(Or you can say, "I ran from about 5:30-6:30pm.") it. So, When I arrived in home I took a shower, after it I then ate bread and drank coffee. I studied again, watched a bit of the football game, I and drank soup. and Now I am right here, on my bed.Be sure not to leave spaces between the end of sentences and punctuation. :)
That's all, guys ! Can someone correct me ? Please, thank you.
Have a good day. :)0 votedJune 10, 20161You can prophesy your future
You can prophesy your future. Your words are powerful. You words are full of nutrition. You words like seeks seek to be being planted into your heart. Your heart is a great place. It lets seeds growing faster and stronger. You can receive your harvest after a while. No matter what you plant, you will get your fruits. So it is important what you say to yourself every single day (Another way to say this is "What you say to yourself every single day is important"). It is because you are planting these seeds into your heart. If you say that you are fat, you are lazy, you love eating fast food, you hate working out, you don't like reading, etc, you prophesy to yourself. You are planting all those negative seeds into your heart. You will get what you plant. You will fulfill yourself. Prophesy to yourself with good and positive words. It is the key to be what you want to be. You can say that you are charming, you are talented, you are blessed, you are strong, you are healthy, you are wise, etc. But don't do that on in a public place. Your words are going to produce exactly what you say. (Some alternatives: "You will produce the kind of fruits that you prophesy", or, "Your words will produce the same kind of fruits."

Hello to (it's fine to leave the "to", however people often say just, "Hi everyone!" or "Hello everyone!") everyone! Honestly, I'm very nervous now, because of this letter. I hadn't write haven't written English for a long time and I suppose that there are many stupid mistakes. But anyway, I think that it is(or "that's") not the most important thing. The most important thing is my opportunity to improve my skills. So please, let me know about my mistakes :))
Today is a unique day. A day when I really want to learn English and know it well! If you think, "What is unique here?", let me explain. Of course, I understand that English is very useful language. But I didn't like it. Why? Just because every time, everyone says, "You must know English". And such as other persons, (it's more natural to say, "Like others", or, "Like other people," )I didn't want to do what I must do. So, for this time I learned Korean. There were two main reasons to do it: it was really interesting and I didn't have to do it. Yes, I did what I liked and was happy.
However, the time run, and our thoughts are changing. (Another way to say this is, "However, with time/as time went on my thoughts changed.")
Today is the day when my mind decided that English is a beautiful language, and I'll be happy to speak on it.
I hope that it will be good story with the a happy ending. ^^
Good luck to everyone in with your dreams and thank you for reading this letter!0 votedJune 10, 20160
