Hello. My name is Jason. I'm a native English speaking American living in my hometown of San Diego. I work as a software engineer. Many years ago I lived in Hiroshima, Japan teaching English. My Japanese level at its best was maybe B1. Now I'm interested in learning Spanish, so I can use it on some trips across the border in Mexico. Also I'd like to get my Japanese back in shape. I don't have much time for it, but I am capable of individualized English lessons as I've done that in the past.

    People who want to succeed will work very hard to make it happens. I disagree with the provided statement because a luck is an important factor for success. The definition of success depends on people. Some people think when they became rich, it means they succeed. On the other hand, some people think when they achieve their goals, it is a success for them.

    I believe that hardworking will bring luck to people who want to succeed. While When you are not working hard and not you won't be ready for success. You will not be able to take a chance. The important thing to succeed is getting ready for opportunities.  to get a chance And then take a certain action. For example, when you want to start your own business, it is very important to meet a person people who wants to support your idea and gives you funding. He may want to give you some beneficial They can give good advice and help you to expand your networking which accelerates your business growth. growing faster. While you are working hard to get a chance and use the chance in a proper way, it will increase your chance to succeed.] [Sorry, too tired to try and understand what you mean. Be sure you understand what "get a chance" means. I'm not sure, and you're using it a lot.]


    My goal is to pursue my profession at graduate school and gain working experience in the USA. To make this happens, I have been working and studying hard to get ready when I get a chance. Before you get a chance, there are many things you have to do. To succeed in college, you need to make enough money for tuition and keep your grades high. After you did all the hard work, you will be able to get into your dream college. Grades and other materials can be enhanced by your hard work, but getting into your dream college is, so to speak, a luck.

    In all, not only hard work but also luck are vital to succeed. People must work hard to get ready and then when a chance comes, you need to get it.

    [Overall good job. I edited for clarity.]

    The answer to your question completely depends on your goals for using the languages, and how much you enjoy it.

    I'd recommend you think of why you want to be able to use each language. If you have an actual need or you really enjoy using the language then that's the one you'll choose.

    If you want your language to really stick in your memory you should use it in real life situations.

    Stowaway

    One of the most dangerous activities in my city is done for those who wants to go to the united states in an illegal way such as traveling without being detected on a ship. this These guys came from a region far away from here. Then they trying to get on board in the middle of the night, and look for a place to get hide from the crew.


    Be sure to capitalize when needed - the first word of each sentence, the title, and proper nouns (names).
    There's no need to put a period after the title.

    Otherwise the wording is sort of unnatural but understandable.

    The word "ditch" meaning to leave someone or get away from someone is more of a slang word. If you're in a professional or polite conversation you wouldn't use it. It's a word commonly used by kids. "Hey, let's ditch Bobby" this means "Let's get away from Bobby so he can't find us" if they are all riding bikes and Bobby is behind them.

These days crypto-currency is on of a major topics in Japan and some the law is has changed [been changing?] to accept it them. The sequential[?] change of regulation and law is good news for consumers, because we can send money reasonably and timely. Of course, crypto-currency is a very new technology, so we need to be careful about take care the application and providers. I hope the balance of innovation and regulation. [You hope it's what?]

    Question:
    Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

    People have their own preferences what kind of cities they want to live in. Choosing a place you live in is a big life changing decision, making so that people need to think about it carefully. Both Living in a small town and living in or a big city each have advantages and disadvantages.
    When you choose to live in a small city, you will be able to enjoy nature and vast have more space. Also, it is easy to get along with people live in a small town. and It will make you feel like a family member.
    On the other hand, living in a big city is exciting. You can get many opportunities, such as for your career and education. In a big city, there are many companies and schools so that you can choose the right place to work or study. Moreover, most of the big cities have advanced transportation systems which will take you anywhere you want easily.

    If I have to choose a place to live in, I prefer to live in a big city and I feel this way for 2 reasons.
    First, as I said, I will have many job opportunities when I live in a big city. For example, I have been working for an Information Technology company and if you live in a small town, it would be difficult to find job openings. In a small town, job openings are extremely limited and there is no big company there so I will not be able to make enough money to take care of my family.
    Secondly, school in a small town does not provide a variety of degrees or diplomas. If they do not teach the subject you want to pursue, you need to move out of a town. Also, a small town has a small population of fewer young people and children so that they will not be able to they won't have an advanced facility which is a big disadvantage for children.

    In conclusion, I prefer to live in a big city because of many opportunities of educations and careers which will lead a fulfilling life.


    Overall pretty good. Some parts sound sort of unnatural and repetitive but the meaning was mostly clear and you had good vocabulary.

    New Year's Eve Dinner [capitalize all words in title. Also capitalize New Year's Eve which is the name of a holiday]

    I wanna cook in this New Year's Eve. Every year my father cooks dinner for New Year's Eve. It's delicious but I wanna cook something different. Maybe, some seafood but gourmet food. I don't know yet what I will cook but will it be with much love.


    In casual spoken English you can say "wanna" instead of "want to", but it is not correct written English. Probably it's best to understand when native speakers say it, but don't use it too much for your own spoken English.

    Zoos, pros and cons

    Hi! i need help to see if this introduction is correct (puntuaction, structure, connectors, grammar...everything)
    Thank you so much


    Zoos - Pros and Cons (or maybe "The Pros and Cons of Zoos")

    “All creatures are deserving of a life free of fear and pain”- Maura Cummings. This is why exits so many places exist to that preserve and protect wild lives. Zoos, for example are considered one of the best places that provides benefits to animals at once that provides while also giving entertainment to families. Around a 20% of the population in different cities visit a zoo per year. However, most of the animals are confined in small places and many other are overprotected (? explain why this is bad). So, although conservation, appropriate nutrition and education are benefits promoted here, they also promote animal abuse, human amusement and behavioral changes. (Is human amusement good or bad?)


    Use "." at end of sentences, not ";". And also capitalize first letter of each new sentence.
