    How would you describe yourself?

    I'd say I'm an introverted person. I prefer to spend time alone. I'm not good at crowded places. I can't put up with loud atmosphere. Also if I am with someone, I stop thinking and I don't decide on anything by myself. I leave everything to someone because I can't say what I think and my opinion. I always tend to keep it to myself. Also I don't really like to stand out. When I have to stand in front of people (even a few!) and have to do something, I always get nervous. But, when it comes to mind (why mind? phrase is strange)  fitness, my personality may change. I'm studying fitness right now. One day, I had to do a short group lesson in front of my classmates. There were more than 15 but I didn't get stage fright. I had confidence and I did well at the time. So only fitness can change myself. (not clear)
    Also I'm a punctual person. I've never come late to my class. when I work, I always start 10 mins earlier. Maybe because I'm from Japan. Then, I'm strict with myself. I know I should learn a little to take it easy.



    very good. well articulated story and reflection!

    30 Days Challenge - Chapter 20

    Today my sweetheart came to my university to watch a movie which he likes and I could not see him because I just had a lot of work to do, homework and some projects developing at that place (not clear). He was really sad but fortunately, he won a competition and the prize was (or : he won)  a DVD of the film that was shown. It was so nice to him because he really liked the movie and He has already watched it a few times before, It's one of his favorites

    They are interchangeable. "I was over at a friend's house." is a bit more colloquial - it implies you were hanging out there for some time.

    Una giornata a San Francisco E stata una giornata bella - non era molto fredda o nebulosa. Non ho lavorato, quindi riuscivo andare sulla spiaggia. E vicina a casa mia, 10 minuti di cammino. Ho camminato scalza sulla spiaggia, e ho visto i cani giocando insieme. C’erano anche i pescatori aspettando (i granchi o i trote). E stata abbastanza ventosa quindi non riuscivo indossare un costume da bagno o prendere il sole. L’estate qua e così - come uno scrittore ha detto - l’inverno più freddo che ho avuto era una giornata d’estate a San Francisco. Comunque, e ancora una delle mie città preferite al mondo ♥ ♥ ♥ * grazie per le tue correzioni grammaticali *

    Non riesco mangiare la pasta 'paleo' ! Fra 3 settimane, andremo, il mio marito italiano e io, a Milano ! Arriveremo durante il compleanno di sua madre, peró sarà una sorpresa per lei ;) Sono contenta, e anche un po tentativa. La sua famiglia, come molte famiglie italiane, piace mangiare :). A me mi piace mangiare anche, ma negli anni pasati, sto cercando mangiare “paleo” per motivi de saluti. Vuol dire: non mangio molte paste o pizze o tanti pani. Mangio tante verdure, uova e anche carni per la colazione (!). Me sento bene mangiare così. Purtroppo, amo i dolci, i pani e i formaggi italiani tantissimi, quindi ho paura che non sterei in “paleo” durante la nostra vacanza! * grazie per le tue correzioni grammaticali * * Non ho mai mangiate la pasta in questa foto, in realta, fa un po schifo per me ;)) *

    [ A Serbian friend of mine came to Kyoto86 ]

    Would you mind correcting my essay? If you were me, how would
    you go about writing it?
    Which part should I describe with details? I hope my explanations are clear. I hope you can understand them.

    (Part Twelve)

    My friend and I stopped at a B's Hobby store in Kyoto which has a so many variety of model kids products, especially military tanks, weapons, air forces, and soldiers. He used to play the online-tanks-game so he likes the tanks.


    I highly recommend the store and you don't need to buy any model kids, you can just have fun and get inspired by looking around. My favorite is a rescue squat and a military camp.

    When he went back to Tokyo area, he visited the other B's Hobby store in Yokohama. He told me that he enjoyed it and got a tank model kid there.

    One can think of it in terms of : "forbid" is a more general use than "ban" ; "ban" is usually only used by official "groups" (for example, governments, countries, officials). To forbid means "to not allow" ; to ban is also "to not allow" but has a more official and more legal consequences usually. Examples: Parents can say to their children "I forbid you from drinking alcohol until you turn 21 !" ; Signs can say "Loitering is forbidden here". Examples for "ban" : 1 . The United States once banned the book "Huckleberry Finn". 2. Some people want to ban gay marriage because of their religious beliefs. hope that helps !

    a bit unnatural although people will understand. Better to say: He couldn't do anything but said that he was very glad, though he looked very uncomfortable.
