New year's resolution in 2018
My new year's resolution in 2018 is to be active to output what I learn, experience and think.
I moved to London from Japan last October and I've been living in London for about three months for now. At the first couple of month months I had difficulty to get used to new life in London. For example, when I go to a supermarket to do the shopping I could not understand the difference between "4 for 3" and "4 for £3". I was confused to see that advertisement of beer misunderstanding "Can I get four bottles of beer just for £3? although a bottle of beer costs £2?! Is London helpful and supporting big families or promoting having home parties?!"... now I understand the difference and I'm good at shopping here, but such a small confusion made my new life challenging. I have been enjoying a lot, but I've realized that I have less chance to output what I experienced and what I thought during my days, and I feel less confident to communicate with people. Therefore, I decided to start writing notebooks here to practice my English. I would be happy if you correct my English or comment on it.
I used to work in Japan for about five years and now I don't because of my English conversation skills. This year, I am going to be active to output, improve my English skills, be fluent in speaking English and get a job. This is my new year's resolution.Great work there Erina. Keep up the good work and hope you will achieve your goal. All the best!

I think the first step might be to try using the correct word for each sentence.
All the best.

I have solved the elementaly elementary question only for 9 years. The reason I like the elementaly elementary question is that some classical Japanese words are used in the question sentences and easy to solve. Intermediate and advanced questions are about diagram the diagram/diagramming. Ever since I was a junior high school student, I'm not very good at diagram the diagram/diagramming.Good job Yu-ri! Keep moving forward!

I’m a big fan of a certain singer. I went to his concert on New Year’s Eve. Usually, I look forward to it, but this time I was worried. Because another concert was held a few days before that day. At that time, he could’t couldn't sing some songs that were scheduled to sing because of his bad throat condition. He couldn't even speak nomally normally. He is famous as a real professional. It is said that he does everything he can do to show his performance perfectly before the concerts. For example, he doesn’t use air conditioner an air conditioner or he doesn’t drink something cold to keep his throat good condition. That was the first time he changed the timetable. So, I was really worried and I thought the concert I planed planned to go might be cancelled canceled. But it was held. He was able to recover condition in only 2 days. Although his condition wasn’t perfect, his performance was amazing. I was moved and almost cried by his spirits. I respect him from the bottom of my heart.Good job Akiko. Keep moving forward!

I celebrated the New Year with my family and a good friend, she asked invited us over. We had stuffed dumplings, herring under the coat, red caviar and of course the salad "Olivier" on our table. We congratulated each other, said the best wishes and it was the champagne occasion. After the midnight we went outside. We swang swung on a swing, went down the slide like kids. It was fun.Good job <a ng-if="notebook.author_obj.allow_profile" ui-sref="user({id:notebook.author_obj.id})" href="https://www.italki.com/user/2544754" class="" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Kapelka</a>, it's a very good essay.

There are a whole bunch of different hot springs thanks to presence the presence of many volcanoes in Japan. According to the Hot Spring Law, there are 18 types of minerals in Spring quality and depending on contained ingredients, there are a variety of hot springs in terms of color, smell and health benefits. Open-air hot springs set in nature are highly popular because people wash themselves, cure their disease, promote their health, and can enjoy the beautiful nature, the seasons and the weather all at the same time.
Japanese people usually take a bath before going to bed every night. Most people put bath salts into the bath to enjoy comfortable bathing. Bathing is not only cleaning their body but also refreshing the mind and soul toward the next day. In a home where there are young children, parents put the Japanese syllable table or the multiplication table on a wall in a bath room bathroom and they spend hours in the bath to make their children memorize that. Some women soak in the bath relatively long to sweat out toxins from their body and improve their skin conditions.
I usually take a shower every morning and get ready for work. I also take a shower after running every evening. I enjoy taking a nice relaxing bath on the weekend. I choose bath salts which match the day’s mood and put that in water the water. Taking a bath makes me feel like I get into a hot spring!
There are a lot of different kinds of bath salts. The following picture shows eight types of bath salts.
- The first one on the left and next to it are is called “Babu” which is Japanese common bath salts for improving overall health.The essay is already very good Nana, just a few minors typo.
Regards the overall structure of the essay, personally, I think the title might not be correct, looking closely at what you are trying to say:
1) First paragraph: introduce about hot spring and benefit of open-air hot spring
2) Habit of taking bath of Japanese
3) Your own habit
4) Types of bath salts
and the title is
Japanese Culture: Taking a Bath
We might not see yet "the close relationship between the main title, the main idea of the essay with the content of each paragraph"
Ans, just a minor suggestion.
