Handsome Man ハンサムな男
Let me introduce two people who changed my life: Tom Cruise and Natsuko Toda.
You might not know Natsuko, but she is a Japanese translator.
When Tom came to Japan, he was a famous actor in the movie Top Gun, which Natsuko had written the Japanese subtitles for.
During that time, I saw a picture of them in a magazine.
Natsuko was in her fifties and Tom was in his twenties. In the picture, Tom hugged Natsuko nicely from behind and their smiles were very beautiful. I was really surprised because we don’t have customs of bracing someone except for family.
I couldn’t stop looking at the picture and said to myself, “If you can speak English, you could get such a nice hug of a handsome man even if you are fifty years old..”
It’s been more than twenty five years since then.
Still the idea of being hugged from a handsome man is my great motivation of learning English.
Oh, I have to say it is just ONE of the reasons I'm keep learning. ^^)Note: Everything was great and I everything that you wrote. The only things that I really changed were some of your punctuations (mostly commas) and the order of your phrases (Example: instead of "at the time" at the end I put "During that time" at the beginning. Overall great job and good luck! :)
0 votedMay 13, 20171- I don't clearly understand what you are asking but I will try my best. Knew is the past tense of know, so the sentences are correct. In the first sentence, "who knew" is an expression to exaggerate or to show sarcasm in the following phrase. From the context given I believe that sentence is using sarcasm. Hopefully this helps!0 votedJune 19, 20160
- Translating Latin Sentences 1. Contrā Alias manus malorum civium eadem res iterum parabuntur; Senatus rem plublicam defendet et isti ex finibus nostris cito discedent. The same things of the evil citizens will be prepared again; the senate will defend the republic and those men of yours will quickly depart out of our boundaries. 2.Senectus senes ā mediis rebus saepe prohibet. The old age will often prevent the old man away from the middle for this thing. (I didn't understand this sentence) 3.Vulgus multa ex fenestris casarum eiciebat. The mob was throwing out many things out of the window of the houses.November 5, 201520
I doubt what the doctors are doing.
My mother has been ill in hospital for more than 15 days, she is not feeling well and sometimes the pain is very intense. She can hardly bear it. I wonder why the doctors cannot confirm what the problem is after so many exminations at the hospital, it has cost us so much. It is really expensive to stay in hospital.
I went back 2 times to take care of her, but I cannot stay with her for long because of my busy work schedual. The place I work in is more than 1000 miles away from my mother. What should I do? I just hope she will recover soon.I hope your mother recovers well and soon. Best of luck with your English!

It is my first time writing an article on this website. Since I was a child, I was very shy, silent, and hardly spoke loudly in public until I failed a college entrance examination. I was chosen by English. Yes, I didn't choose my major but my major chose me. One of the most difficult aspect of learning English is definitely neither speaking nor writing, it’s bravery. It is not possible for you to do everything correct, especially you are learning a new language. But I am so unconfident, that I do not dare to practice it just in case I make mistakes and are teased by others. The more afraid I am, the worse my English gets. Until one thing happened…..(to be continued)
Please feel free point my fault because now I am determined to study English well.0 votedNovember 4, 20151Beginning
Hello, italki! I have come here to study and have fun. I think my knowledge of English will help me in the future. I have been learning English since I was 5 years old. I have never learn it heavily(I would suggest using a different word), but it always was simple for me. I can't write anymore. But later, when some interesting thoughts visit me again, I'll write something, I hope.
Bye, bye! See ya later!0 votedNovember 4, 20150
