秋の雨
今朝、目が覚めたら、外に(で)小雨が降っています(した)。地面に(が)結構濡れていることから見れば、 夜中から、降り出したのでしょう。こういう日は何もやらずに、寝るには(ことが)もっともふさわしい日ですが、残念なことに、会社に行かなければなりません。ドアを開ける瞬間、冷たい空気に包まれて、つい震え始めました。すぐ眠気が飛んじゃって、元気になりました。秋の雨が降るたびに、寒くなるのは(を)この身で切実に感じました(す)。傘をさしている私は周りの色とりどりの傘を見て、なんだか感動されています(してしまいます)。これは秋独特の風景ではないですが、秋の傘は夏と違って、単純の(な)雨具ではなく、小さな炎のように、人の心を照らして、明るくて、温かく感じさせます。心を慰める力をもっています。
バスに座って、外の景色を見ながら、中学校頃のあの秋雨の日が目の前に現れました。
学校が終わった頃に、雨が降り出して、雨具を持たなかったから、姉と一緒に全身の力を振り絞って、自転車を漕いで、家に向かいました。驚くことに、途中で、お母さんはレーン(レイン)コートをもって、迎えてくれました。もちろん家に帰ったら、びしょびしょになった(なりました)が、お母さんは収穫したばかりの白菜で作った肉まんをすぐ出してくれて、ふわふわ熱々の肉まんを見た瞬間、帰る途中の苦労を全部忘れて、お母さんの愛に包まれています(ました)。
突然、「人民路(?)がついたので、下りる方はご注意ください」とアナウンサ(アナウンサー)の声が耳に入りしました。あらら、もう会社に着いたなの?さあ!今日一日頑張りましょう!!日本語上手ですね!
日本語の「助詞」と時制(過去・現在・未来)等に気をつけたら、
もっと良いですね!

The essay title comes from Eiken 1st grade test, which is very famous English proficiency test in Japan. Could you give me advice to brush up my writing skills ? (ex. correct spelling, grammatical error, usage of words etc.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes * Write an essay on the given TOPIC covering three of the POINTS below. * Structure : Three or more paragraphs, including an introduction and conlusion. * Length : Around 200 words TOPIC Should minors who commit serious crimes receive the same punishments as adults? POINTS ・Financial costs ( I chose ) ・Mental maturity ・Public safety ・Justice ・Prison life ( I chose ) ・Schooling ( I chose ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think minors who commit serious crimes should not receive the same punishments as adults. I have three reasons to support my idea. Firstly, viewing from the point of finacial cost, we cannot expand prison anymore. I hear that some local government has faced the quandary that they cannot maintain the facilities because of lack of budget. What is worse, the number of prisoners is getting higher year by year. Also, we have to consider building prisons only for children because they are still young. Secondly, even though we built prisons for children, from the point of prison life, it is not good condition for children. I often hear that there are bullies in prison and this is very tough for mentally immature children. Thirdly, after children prisoners came back from the prison, I think they cannot go back to the usual schooling. They cannot enjoy school life as other kids. Nowadays, young children use social network services like Twitter and Facebook. There is a dangerous possibility that children prisoners suffer from net bullying. As you can see, once children got the same punishments as adults, they cannot go back to normal life as other kids. Therefore, I think they should not receive the same punishments as adults. 208 wordsNovember 17, 201540
- 小仙X san, thank you for your comment. Actually, the reason why I decide to learn Cantonese is that way of speaking Cantonese is like a song and it is fun for me. Also, I am a big supporter of Bruce Lee and Hong Kong kung fu movies. Quote from Bruce Lee ; "Don't think. Feel!" will suit to studying Cantonese : )0 votedNovember 14, 20150
- Usage of " backlash" and " drawback'' The following sentence is an English practice from my textbook. The only ( ) to the proposal for a new gymnasium is that it would be expensive to implement. 1. withdrwal 2. backlash 3. drawback 4. downtrend The book says the answer is 3. drawback. However, I think 2. backlash also makes sense too. According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, backlash means a strong negative reaction by a large number of people, especially to a social or political development. Could someone give me some advice? TakuyaNovember 14, 201550
