Thoughts
I wouldn't say fun, but it sure is interesting how sometimes in life we need to wait a long time untill we're able to conquer achieve what we know will make us happy. As far as I'm concerned, some people will just accept the situation they find themselves in, and others just have an instinct that, even though they're not able to reach their aims at present, they know how far they can get and where and how they want to live their lives like. For that, they'll work as hard as they can to make their wishes come true. It might feel disappointing and upsetting to wait no matter how so long untill one reaches his goals, but I'd rather believe that everything happens for a reason, and that if you can't get where you want right now, it's because you're just not ready yet, but when you are, it'll make up for all the time you waited.
Corrections would be appreciated!

Very good, the last sentence is kind of a run-on sentence, but it's not really wrong.0 votedMarch 3, 20162What is the famous person you want to have over for dinner? Part 1..
So.. the famous person I want to have over for dinner with (could also say "to have dinner with").. It's a very hard question for me. First I think about an architect Frank Lloyd Wright of course, the most genius (could also say "most brilliant") architect of XXth the 20th century, a founder of a philosophy he called organic architecture - designing structures that were in harmony with both humanity and its environment.

In this case if you're speaking over the telephone and you heard the person pause around a section of speech you could imagine them doing the hand motion.0 votedFebruary 14, 20160

Another way to say the middle sentence is "I can eat an entire chocolate bar in one sitting." I think it's probably more common to say it this way although yours is not wrong.

The man who is the bridge between the non physical things supernatural and human beings is a psychic medium. After he is possessed, he does something to prove that he is “he” who he says he is. It’s a kind type of ceremony in Taoism in Taiwan. However, you can only see this phenomenon in small temples in the old Taiwanese community. I’ve never seen people do this in big the larger historical temples.

1) I'm not sure exactly what you were going for with "he is 'he'", but it sounds weird so I gave a best guess
2) With 'kind of ceremony' I think 'type of ceremony' sounds better to me, although 'kind' is probably not incorrect.
