    If you eat rice, fish, and soup for breakfast everyday then you must use present simple, 'For breakfast, I eat rice, fish, and soup' or 'I eat rice, fish, and soup for breakfast'. If you want to say what you ate this morning or yesterday etc 'For breakfast, I ate rice, fish, and soup' or 'I ate rice, fish, and soup for breakfast'. Both examples are fine. However, if you are having breakfast now 'I am having rice, fish, and soup'. There is no need to say the word breakfast because the listener knows that it is breakfast time. If you are talking about breakfast in the future and you have already decided the food that you want to eat then you can use the present continuous with going to, 'For breakfast, I'm going to have/eat rice, fish, and soup' or 'I'm going to have/eat rice, fish, and soup for breakfast.' One of the previous posts on this topic said that 'What are you having for breakfast?' is present perfect. Ignore that because it's incorrect. Present perfect is 'What have you eaten for breakfast?' The answer would be 'I have eaten rice, fish, and soup.' This tense is used when breakfast time has passed and the listener doesn't know what you had/ate for breakfast.

    Normally, we just say 'I'm going fishing' to talk about fishing or 'I'm going hunting' to talk about hunting. If you say that you are going to hunt an animal or catch a fish, this implies that there is one specific animal/fish that you want to hunt/catch for a reason. Why do we not use hunt when talking about fishing is a good question. I'm afraid that I can't answer this for you because I didn't decide on the rules when the English language first started. Both words mean the same thing e.g you want to kill an animal/a fish. The English language has lots of ridiculous rules. The important thing is NEVER BE AFRAID OF MAKING MISTAKES. I hope that my explanation has helped you.

    Study on the Sense of Humor and Rhetorical Devices of Bill Bryson from "Florence" (Volume 1)

    Bill Bryson, born in  on December 8, 1951, is a best-selling American author of humorous books on travel, the English language, and recently scientific subjects and Shakespeare. The first time Bryson visited England was in 1973 on a tour of Europe and decided to stay after he landed a job in a psychiatric hospital. He met a nurse there, whose name was Cynthia Billen, and then they got married later. In 1995, Bryson, with his family, returned to America, in order to complete his college degree. But he showed his determination in that he and his family remained until 2003. This essay “Florence” is an excerpt from his travelogue, "Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe" written in 1991. There is actually a pun in the title, “Neither Here Nor There” which reveals his feelings that he didn’t belong to America or England as he traveled around the world.
    "The Times" has suggested that Bryson is one of the most famous authors of humorous books on travel currently living in the world. And I can’t agree more that he is definitely a good partner for traveling. This is because everyone who read reads his works work will constantly have a good time and suddenly find themselves experiencing a real trip with a high degree of involvement. Bryson specializes in a typical sense of humor, since he married an English wife his English wife/an English woman, and he was exposed to English culture and so he quickly learned cerebral British humor. Another point from this essay that attracts me is that Bryson has a keen eye for details detail and there are plenty of rhetorical devices in this writing, such as hyperbole, irony, oxymoron, personification, parallelism, simile and metaphor.

    Well done, Sai! Your English is comparable to a native speaker!

    Study on the Sense of Humor and Rhetorical Devices of Bill Bryson from "Florence" (Volume 2)

    There are plenty of examples of this kind of humor and rhetorical devices in "Florence". Hyperbole is the most common rhetorical device, and it is also the most common way to show a typical sense of hilarious American humor marked by exaggeration. For example, Bryson said he took the slowest train to Florence; he saw people moving across Europe at the speed of a laser; he was shown to room by a 112-year-old porter who escorted me him into the world’s slowest lift and from whom I he learned, during the course of our their two-day ascent to the fifth floor. These sentences are trying to express typical “Brysonian” exaggeration which helps bring us into his world of humor. Even though British humor has a deep impact on his writing style, Bryson often decorates his travel articles with his Americanness, and we can see from this essay, he features American humor. When it comes to humor, British humor reaches a level of seriousness, but it doesn’t mean British humor is more noble; while American humor is more straightforward, and it’s easier to understand so readers are more relaxed and think it is funnier. In other words, American humor is just like a situation that when a Chinese student in class, who doesn’t like English, answers the teacher’s question about why he never learned English well, and the answer is that he knew learning English would come back and bite him in his ass.
    Irony can be found in paragraphs two, six, and the last one. Take the last paragraph as an example: Bryson met the “over-zealous waiter”; and he said he would not tell anyone else that the little snack peanuts cost him $4.80. In fact, he was saying the opposite of what he meant. In the fourth paragraph, “exquisite ugliness” is a typical example of an oxymoron, and “a modern concrete box” is an example of a metaphor, which refers to the hotel. Parallelism contains a similar form so as to give the essay a definite pattern, and we can find it in the first paragraph when Bryson mentioned that “the train stopped at some darkened station where ... , where ... , where ... .” In the same paragraph, Bryson described that the train “limped across the landscape like a runner with a pulled muscle.” and this is personification.
    I like this bearded man as well as his travel notes. Faced with the facts, he can always enjoy the flawed beauty in his trip. I have already taken part in the essay, and I had a kind of emotional connection with him.

    Happy Friday!

    On Fridays, the days day just before the  weekends weekend, co-workers often say "Happy Friday!" in their e-mail. And even when I greet a casher cashier with "How are you?"at a supermarket, he / she often answers "Good, happy Happy Friday!". Does this happen in the whole of America? I had never heard this phrase in Japan, but I can, of course, understand the feeling very well. I also feel like something exciting excited, especially at on Friday's Friday night, even if I have no plan on the weekend, like today;) Oh, I just have to go on shopping to get some foods food at Costco. I hope, it'll be a lovely day tomorrow.

    Learning English without practice

    It's common to hear people say "English is so difficult. I can read and understand what I read, but when someone speaks I can't understand anything and If I have to express my ideas, I can't speak because at that moment I forget everything that I already know". Another says, "I want to study English at a good Institute" and when they find it, they want to speak English in a month. After a month, they become very frustrated because they don't get to the level that they want. That's because they only study at the institute and the rest of the time they don't practice anything. A lot people think that "a magical key" or "miracle pills" exist to be able to speak English from one day to another and that's not true. If you want to learn a language you have to be dedicated... I don't know, maybe a couple of hours every day, at least one hour... but practice!. If you don't practice, you'll never learn it well, or you will lose all your skills or it will simply take you a lot of time to learn it. Maybe one day you can practice writing, another day listening, another speaking, and don't forget to do different activities for each one to not make the "study time" in a routine. Thank you so much for reading and fixing this.

    A small insect was inside my ear early this morning.

    Early this morning, I was woken suddenly and found it was just 4 o'clock. Then I heard some noisy flapping inside my left ear. It could have been an insect , but not sure what was it. I was so worried.
    I tried to make it out from my ear by hand and cotton swabs. But it didn't work at all.
    Then I went to Accident and Emergency department immediately and consulted a doctor.

    Maybe, my case was urgent, so I saw the doctor after the preliminary inspection was finished by a nurse. After checking several times with a flashlight, the doctor only found a small black spot inside my ear and said it was too close to the eardrum.

    At first, the doctor planned to transfer my case to ear-nose-throat department. I was disappointed with his suggestion. But later , he poured some liquid in my ear for killing the insect. Then he used a clip trying to get it out. My ear was painful during the process. I was very lucky that the doctor got it out. The pain was gone and I was very happy. I thanked the doctor for helping me.

    My ear has a little wound now. The only medicine the doctor suggested was olive oil. I need to use one drop 3 times per day for the following 3 days.

    After I came back home, I changed my pillow case in order to stay away from any dirt or insects which may being hidden in there.
