Hi! I'm Chris and I was born in Canada, but moved to Cleveland, Ohio in my pre-teens. Now I have a very neutral North American accent. I would be happy to do some English for Cantonese language exchange.

    Where is Bryan? Or why I didn't like English at school

    If you studied English in a French school, you know the answer at the question: "Where is Bryan?"
    By the way, there is a nice sketch about it on Youtube by Gad Elmaleh.

    My first foreign language was German, because I live near Germany. After German, I started English in secondary school when I was 13 years old. I studied English until the end of high school. And I got a very bad note in English for the A levels.
    I didn't like foreign languages. I still had old teachers almost retired and the lessons was very boring. And of course, I didn't understand anything. I prefered to study the sciences.

    Meta: Why do some corrections in Notebooks highlight changes while others do not? I see that some corrections for Notebook entries highlight changes. Is that something the correctors are doing manually? If so, can anyone teach me how to do it so my corrections will look better?

    Sovereign rights or human rights?

     

    Let's start with the first sentence:

     

    1) In recent years, there are numerous of issue that are controversial emerge one after another.

    In recent years, numerous controversial issues have emerged one after another.

    (Issues that are controversial = controversial issues. This sentence requires use of the present perfect simple tense because you are talking about events that have already taken place but have an impact on the present. See https://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/present-perfect-simple)

     

    2) As a well trained social science's master student, I couldn't interpret if sovereign rights or human rights are more lofty.

    As a well trained social sciences master student, I could not interpret whether sovereign rights or human rights are more lofty.

    (You do not belong to social sciences, therefore no apostophe. Formal writing does not use contractions. Please explain what you mean by more lofty.)

     

    I'll let you answer that question before moving along.

    my first article

    I am trying to write my first article. I want to write a little about my plan, work, or my method, but it is boring and too long. My friend recommended this website to me because I told her I want to learn English. I have not been learning English since I graduated, but I want to restart now. So I decided I'll write at least three articles every week.

     

    Comments:Very good! Good to hear that you're practicing, that's how you get better! When you say "it is boring and too long" it's not clear what you mean. I wonder if you mean you wrote something and didn't like it because it was boring?

     

    Also, if you're practicing writing you should practice correctly, so I corrected your cuz to because.

     

    Finally, I see many Chinese students leave out the space between the period "." and the next sentence. In English, that space is strictly required. It is also necessary after commas, colons, and semicolons, to name a few. If you look above you will see I have added many spaces. :)

    Comment: I can correct better and faster if you use capitals where they belong. If you leave them out then I wonder if you know they should be there.

    Would you please check it?

    The first time I traveled abroad was when I was a junior at university.
    My university sends most third grade students abroad by unversity's ship every year.
    I went to Osaka in Japan at that time.
    Of course, I went there with my classmates.
    There were a lot of tourist attractions.
    The most memorable place is a big traditional castle named 'Osaka castle'.
    We also tried many local foods.
    During the trip, I took a lot of pictures. And nowdays I sometimes look at them to revive a memory.

    Thank you for reading my sentence, Have a good day :D

     

    Comments:

    Your writing is good! It's clear and other than in one place I really follow what you are saying.

    What do you mean by university's ship? Do they put you on a big boat owned by the university?

    Also, this is an advanced word, but the word I think of for "revive a memory" is reminisce. You might say "Sometimes I look at them to reminisce." Your original sentence makes sense and is a good sentence. I'm just offering one that I think sounds a little more natural.
