Diary of my life in Canada September 4
I've been living Canada since this March. It's been 6 months.
I'll finally graduate from ESL in two weeks later. I'm sure I'll miss my school.
I've met many foreign students and native teachers in school.
And my counselor, who is a Japanese man, always helped me and encouraged me.
I really appreciate him.
I want to enjoy remaining 2 weeks at school.
I'm on It is currently the long weekend now, but I haven't slept enough. I'm sleepy.....
But I have to go out in 2 hours to meet my friend.
We're supposed to go to a music festival!
I'm so excited, but tired at the same time. I'm really sleepy. lol
I have a lot to do. I have to write a resume to get a job, and apply for some jobs that I want.
Yesterday, I met friend who got a job at Starbucks.
He always tried to do everything that he want to do.
He is honest and interesting. He's never afraid that if he would mess up.
He had applied to so many companies to get a job, but he actually couldn't get one.
And Now, he has been working a cafe for three months.
But, I heard good news from him yesterday.
Finally he got a job at Starbucks. That is one of jobs he wanted. had been wanting to do.
I was happy when I heard that, and the news made encouraged me. (English is a subject prominent language. Try to use less topic prominence sentence structure!)
He applied it three months ago, but Starbucks didn't answered for three months.
And He just had the interview last week and got a job. (Try to not use And when starting a sentence. That's only ok good in Japanese.)
It's a good achievement for him. Even though he applied to many companies and didn't get answers from them, Star bucks contacted to him. That's when he got the job! This is a great achievement!
I'll do something about getting a job after going back home today.
I will also never give up!!!0 votedSeptember 4, 20160Question
Could you teach me what difference between general person and ordinary person?They are very similar, but there are minor differences.
When talking about people in general, we would think an average normal human being. When talking about traits or personality, a general person would have ambitions of getting a job, having fun, getting married, and living life in general.On the other hand, the word "ordinary" would look at more objective traits such as how one physically looks. But depending on the context, it can also be used as the definition above.
So in retrospect, you use "general person" when talking about people in general (their traits, or whatever the context of the conversation is) while "ordinary person" would be used to describe someone, usually physical traits.0 votedSeptember 4, 20161September ,4th 2016: Conversations
My aunt: Are you seeing someone? Do you have boyfriend?
Me: No, I am single.
My aunt: Why don't you have a boyfriend? Are there no boys that chase you? You are so beautiful, smart, and attractive. What a strange thing!
Me: Er.... (three dots to signify a pause. Four dots to signify a pause, but there is no dialogue after the pause.)
My aunt: What do you do?
Me: xx
My aunt: You must have earned a lot of money.
Me: Not that much money; I always work overtime and be busy.
My aunt：No wonder you can't find one....
Then she walked away and mumbled "I already got married when I was her age. How strange the world is now!"
When I say I am in a relationship, the questions will change here come those questions.
Where is he from? How old is he ? What' s his/his parents' job? Is he/his family rich? When do you get married？How many kids do you want? blabla........I will have this problem when I become 25, and I have to get used to it....0 votedSeptember 4, 20161make sentences

0 votedSeptember 4, 20161I want to learn swimming.
I forgot to write my daily yesterday. Maybe it is difficult to do this practice everyday. Maybe I can just write some important things. Good excuses, ha ha. Yesterday, I wanted to have a swim at our school's constant temperature swimming pool, but I was too late. Today, I will go there again. Although I am not a good swimmer, I hope I can learn to be good at it very much. Then, the question about saving my mom or girlfriend will be solved. : )------
Yellow Highlights: Minor punctual or grammatical mistakes. Usually a missing period, wrong tense, missing word, or un-capitalized word.
Red Text: Don't use this expression in English because it doesn't sound natural. This red text will be replaced with the words highlighted in Orange.
The rest of your paragraph is fine apart from those corrections. Very simple English for now. Good luck!

- There is a misconception here. We have to look at English complex sentences. A complex sentence has two parts. An independent clause and a dependent clause. There is a subject, verb, and object in the sentence as well. "Having achieved such a huge success, even changing the landscape of America, remembering why they started doing this business stopped being important to them." Let's break this In a complex sentence, the dependent clause usually goes first and then follows the independent clause. **Having achieved such a huge success,** [even changing the landscape of America,] @@remembering why they started doing this business stopped being important to them@@ The ones between the ** is the dependent clause. Without the independent clause right after, it would be useless. The information inside the [square brackets] is an additional piece of information that is independent from the whole sentence. The words between the @@ is the independent clause. This can be said as one sentence that doesn't need any of the information before it. However, it'll make more sense with the dependent clause. Now look at it this way: "Having achieved such a huge success, remembering why they started doing business stopped being important to them." An interpretation would be "the reason for doing business stopped being important because of the huge success that even changed the landscape of America." ---- As for the second one, it's just a standard complex sentence. "Smiling brightly" describes the man. It's a dependent clause. After the comma, we have "the man is a new comer". You are correct the man is the subject. However, smiling brightly modifies the sentence by adding additional information about the man who is a new comer. You can otherwise say it like this: "The man is a newcomer who is smiling brightly."0 votedSeptember 4, 20162
