- Would you mind correcting my essay? If you were me, how would you go about writing it? Which part should I describe in detail? I hope my explanations are clear. I hope you can understand them.
(Part Five) I went to Otaru City from Sapporo City by train, which took about 30 minutes. for about half an hour. Otaru is one of the most popular sightseeing spots in the Hokkaido area, and is easy to access accuses. There are many attractions as well. I’m introducing The Temiya Line (I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say you're "introducing" the line? Maybe a better way to say it would be, "There is a line called The Temiya Line, which was a ..."), which was a former narrow gauge railroad linking Minami-Otaru Station and Temiya Station, which both carry freight (coal, marine products) and passengers. The Temiya Line closed in 1985 but parts of the tracks have been preserved. There were quite a few visitors all around. I like that, and it’s good for the taking memorable photos of memorable your trips.
0 votedNovember 16, 20171 The beginning of my journey into English...
A few years ago, like the millions of other people before me as millions of others , I decided to learn at least one other foreign language. The importance of English was indisputable, and without any doubts in my mind, the choice was made instantly. With a the strong feeling of dedication towards my new passion for learning an alien language (although this isn't technically wrong, it sounds a bit strange. I would stick with 'foreign' language over 'alien'), the first move that I did, was of course, to google the most sacred of words at the time, at the moment words ''How to learn English''. It was so simple, but unfortunately Google had a some different plan in mind, and without any of my awareness added one more word to my searching. The word was ''fast'', one word that drastically changed the direction of the searching.
Not paying too much attention to what at the time, I thought was an insignificant matter this insignificant matter, as I thought then, I started clicking on every link provided by that deceptive search-engine. Most of those web resources claimed to able to have make a native speaker out of me within 1, 3, or even 6 months at the very worst. Having been flattered by such a sweet lure of effortless study, while reading their so promising articles, I already felt as if I was becoming a native speaker, little by little.like as if I little by little became a native English speaker. Not surprisingly though, that the euphoria hadn't lasted for too long until and all my expectations were shattered into pieces as soon as I scrolled down the page to the price of that very fast transformation. Although my enthusiasm almost fully dissipated due to not having some extra money burning a hole in my pocket, I learnt from that lesson a lot and realized one thing for good: every decision that I was going to make from that point forward had to be thoroughly thought out instead of taking a leap in the dark.
Keeping that rule in mind I got rid of that misleading word "fast" in the a searching form as fast as possible; although, like the pattern of the first page that Google suggested, I managed to find few more links that at first look seemed to be reliable. And a very simple phrase that drew my attention to, and finally opened my eyes was: "in order to make your first attempt to speak any foreign language at least one years' time has to be invested in studying, and if you're one of those naive optimists who believes that it's possible to learn something within a month you should close that tab immediately"; since then my journey has begun...0 votedNovember 16, 20171New vocabulary about food
