My first flight abroad.
In 2014, for the first time in my life I began to think about living and working abroad. At that time, I was a student of Lyceum. I didn't have enough money nor the ability for it.
I started to prepare. I got an international passport and slowly learned English. I watched YouTube channels about travelling and volunteering.
I collected information and I wanted to get some experience.
In Spring of 2016 I was exhausted from my job and university exams. Every day was the same as the others. I decided to turn my life around.
I started to search for volunteer projects. The first, I think, was EVS (European Voluntary Service). I searched their department in Moscow and sent an email. they told me what i mast looking my project in July and august and then I can go for the project in the next summer. It was a very long time for me and that's why I continued searching.
YouTube gave me some videos about AIESEC, which is an organisation which makes volunteer and job trips for young people.
I searched AIESEC department in my city and added myself to their Facebook group. The next week I was invited to a meeting, where guys gave me some tips and helped me with registration on their website. Then I gave my CV to many different projects and passed the interview.
I was invited to an Egypt IT project. I had a month for prepare to this trip. I worked some jobs for cash and I saved money for the trip.
Now I have pakced my luggage and cleaned my room. Tomorrow I will leave my country first time in my life.Sorry, I wasn't sure what "they told me what i mast looking my project in July and august and" meant.
This was a very inspiring story! Keep up the hard work, in both your English and your life. I wish you all the best for the trip!

Today, I worked at my part-time job. I work in a beef cutlet restaurant. Beef cutlet is so delicious. However, my store manager is so snappy and strict towards me. There have been many times where I wanted to leave, but now I want to be praised by my store manager. I will do my best.Keep it up. I corrected some things and phrased them in the most natural way I could. Your English is very good!

In Japan, most people can't speak English, especially in our generation.
Nowadays, mothers know that they should have their children learn English.
One of my friends bought expensive teaching materials for her kids. The cost was around the same as my monthly income.
If I had children, I could chat with them in English so they could acquire some English skills/knowledge before they know grow up [what are you trying to say here?].
Although I spent a lot of money to learn English, it can have some benefits.0 votedJune 20, 20161"I don't know if she would have done it if she had found herself in that situation." is correct.
"I don't know whether [or not] she would have done it if she had found herself in that situation." is also correct. Often people will say "whether or not", although it is not required.
"I don't know whether she would have done it [or not] if she had found herself in that situation." Again, you can see I have added the optional "or not", just in a different place.
"She asked me if I would have gone there if I had been asked to." is correct.
"She asked me whether [or not] I would have gone there if I had been asked to." is correct,
"She asked me whether I would have gone there [or not] if I had been asked to." is also correct.
"I don't know if she would have done it had she found herself in that situation." is how I would say it.
"I don't know if she would have done it if she had found herself in that situation." doesn't sound quite right because you are using "if" twice. Grammatically, it's probably fine though.
This text in blue does not answer your question. It is more of a side note.

It's been a month past since I came over here to the US, so I decided to write down the a diary entry.
I am working as a in guest relations.
Guests come to me with a whole bunch of questions every day. Answering them is really tough for me since English is not my first language. However, I feel that I am improving my English skills day by day and am now more confident than I was a month ago.
Today, I had a guest who has a disability person in the group. I took care of them for as long as I could. They looked very pleased and left $20 gratuetee for me at the end.
When I go back home, I will put it on the wall in my room. This will motivate me when I face to difficult situations at my job."party" is not wrong, but it is much more common to say "group".
Keep it up! Your English is very good.
0 votedJune 19, 20160- Yes, "My hometown has four distinct seasons." is correct. You are saying that each season is different from each other, or that it is clear what season it is as they are all different. The word "temperate" means "relating to or denoting a region or climate characterised by mild temperatures.", meaning that there is little change between the seasons. The opposite of temperate is "intemperate", but these words are not often used in conversation. I hope this wasn't too complicated!0 votedJune 19, 20165
Some thoughts
Today is the first day that I start to have used italki. I feel a little bit confused for as I am not familiar with it.
And Also, the results of my University Entrance exam will come out in a few days……I have to say that I am it is quite nerve-wracking. These days I just stay in at home and sat sit in front of the a screen. I don't konw know what to do and I don't like this feeling at all.
We have decided to travel Hong Kong and I'm looking forward to this the trip!Your English is very good. Keep it up!
