Hello, my name is Robert, but my friends call me Bobby. I am learning Japanese because every two years I travel to Kashiwa in Japan to train in martial arts and I love the language and culture of Japan. I enjoy teaching also. My Japanese is not very good but I am hoping to get better by talking with others who want to learn English.

How to improve students` behavior and performance in classes.
How to improve students` behavior and performance in classes.
It is better for teachers to not always speak in class, but teachers are better off giving students a chance to show off themselves. Sometimes a teacher may ask students a proper question, I mean the question should neither be too difficult for students to answer, nor be so easy that everyone can answer at once without pondering. The question must be answered after thinking about it for a while. In the course of answering the question, students are so inspired that they study harder than ever. The interest in lessons is increased and grades become better and better. This is a method to improve students` behavior and performance in classes.Cleaned it up and made it sound a bit more natural. Effects is a bit of an odd word to use here, by context I think you may mean performance but I could be wrong. Hope I helped. Good luck!

The hiring style in Japan is quite unique. Especially job-hunting of fresh graduates. It is a big event for every student. I'll introduce three unique points. First, we have to look for a job for a very long time. (Every senior student starts to look for a job during the winter and into the summer in bulk.) The reason for such a long term fight is they apply to dozens of companies and the hiring processes are so long: sending resumes, taking a paper test, and two or three interviews. It's very hard to get a job in Japan because we may only get one job after applying to a dozen companies. Second, every student has to wear a black suit and black shoes during job-hunting, because an employer doesn't judge students on their appearance, but their personality or skills. In spite of summer, they wear a black suit. It looks really hot. In this way, Japanese style job-hunting of fresh graduates is hard and unique like a festival, but changing jobs is harder. Most students can get a job after job-hunting. Therefore, Japan is kinder for job-hunting for fresh graduates than other countries.I did what I could.. I tried not to be too picky. I think I got what you were saying with the sentence in ( ). One other important note which I didn't change but you may want to... when talking about one subject try not to change perspective... that is... try not to say "we", "I", "us".... and then change to "they" "them" and back again. :) I Hope I helped
0 votedJune 18, 20161My first essay
Hello,
This is my first essay, hopefully, in a series of multiple essays to improve my writing skills. I will start writing about my main motivation for improving (a little more natural sounding) my writing skills. Last week, I presented a document written in English. To be honest, I wrote it very fast and without doing any review. I received honest feedback about my work, and in summary they recommended I take lessons and try to write in English as little as possible.
I hope this kind of essay will give me more confidence and practice for improving (or "to improve") my writing.(mostly it's just small odd grammar things but good start)
