I don't think any country is very similar to mine culturally speaking.

I’ve seen a lot of technological progress in my country recently. I’m from Kazakhstan and not so long ago most people only used cash or cards, but in the last 6 or 7 years, it’s difficult to say exactly when it started, we also began to use banking apps, so we can pay for things using a QR code, or we can transfer money to someone in a second. We can get a card very quickly, a card reader, a device for printing a personal card, and we can print a card in just seconds. It’s very useful. But sometimes I’m worried because now that most people don’t have cash, I think it could be a problem in the future...

The only mistake in your sentence is a missing word before 'cute'. For example: I just played around with my cute puppy a little bit I just played around with her cute puppy a little bit I just played around with a cute puppy a little bit I just played around with this cute puppy a little bit I just played around with another cute puppy a little bit etc I hope this helps!

Hi, "Why had you not known?" is the full form, and "Why hadn't you known?" is the contracted form. Contracted forms are much more usual in spoken English. If you use the full form it sounds much more formal and with more emphasis. In a question like this, using the full form can sound like there is criticism in the question. I hope this helps, Marcus

I have never read a book which has changed my life dramatically. However, some books make me positive. So when I feel depressed, I read books or talk to someone. I think reading a book is a good way for people to become positive. A few decades ago, I thought that I was not good at anything and felt depressed. I surfed the Internet and bought a book. Although I can not remember the exact name of the book, it encouraged me and I was able to recover from depression .

In my opinion, children face various problems when going online. First of all, there are many opportunities to get acquainted with people. However, unfortunately, not all people are necessarily good. Some people try to deceive vulnerable people, such as the elderly and children. At worst, a child might become friends with a bad person online. If they meet face to face, the bad person might try to kidnap the child. Also, too much Internet use could cause problems in the future. It is believed that using the Internet, especially playing games, is highly addictive. If people become addicted to the Internet, they can not carry on their normal life. As for children, they might not be able to go to school and study. As a result,it would be difficult for them to find a job when they grow up.

In many countries, people usually spend Christmas with their families. However, in Japan, young people spend Christmas with their boyfriend or girlfriend. (Although families with children spend Christmas with their families.) As for Christmas dinner in Japan, many people eat chicken and Christmas cake.You might be surprised, but around 20 years ago, one of the most popular Christmas dinners in Japan was Kentucky Fried Chicken. KFC is still very popular although that has been changing a little these days. I used to see long queues for KFC on Christmas Eve. These days, not only KFC but also many shops and restaurants sell Christmas chicken.

When people invest their money in something such as stocks, bonds or gold, it would be better to follow this piece of advice; Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If a person puts all one’s money in a single company’s stock, he or she might lose everything in the case of the company going bankrupt. So I think people should diversify their investments in a well-balanced manner.
