    Hi Jayden - both sentences can be correct, depending on the context. For instance, if my birthday is today and yours is on the twentieth, then our birthdays are two days apart. Alternatively, if both of us were born on the nineteenth, you could say that our birthdays were two days away.

    Family trip to Bali

    Three weeks ago, my family and I (1) travelled to Bali, this was our second family trip. We organized this trip to attend my brothers’ colleague's wedding party there, and my brothers had been invited to be their colleague’s groomsmen.
    We rented a car to travel around Bali. We also hired a driver to take me and my parents around in the second day, when both of my brothers went to the wedding party.
    We had a great time in Bali and this was a good opportunity to build up a good relationship with family members.

    (1) In this sort of situation, try the two subjects with the verb, i.e. me travelled to Bali (not quite right, 'I' is better) and family travelled to Bali (also not quite right, 'my family' is better). When you're referring to something that you belong to or that belongs to you, plus yourself, you always put that object before you in the sentence, like 'my husband and I' or 'my family and I'. Complicated business, this English...

    About a friend

    他是我朋友的同學。
    He is a classmate of my friend.

    第一次跟他見面的時候，是在台南舊的東門美術館那間老房子。
    I met him in the old Licence Art Gallery in Tainan for the first time.

    那時候認識這個朋友，覺得說他很有趣也很可愛。
    I thought he was quite interesting when I first met him.

    我也覺得他是一個很善良，有赤子之心的人。
    And I also think that he is quite kind and with the heart of a child.

    可能是他鬍子的造型，讓人家覺得他一直在笑的感覺。
    Maybe because of his moustache, or that people think he is always laughing.

    再加上他有很紅潤的氣色。
    And his face is ruddy.

    所以每個人都覺得說他似乎是一個過得很開心的 一個人。
    So many people think he seems to be a happy person.

    據說他年輕的時候超級瘦，可是我無法想像。
    I heard that he was quite thin when he was young.
    But I can’t imagine it.

    記得，有一次是我，他邀我去看他的工作室，就是他的雞舍工作室
    Once, he invited me to see his studio, his chicken house studio.

    在途中他有去接他的女兒。
    On the way he went to pick his daughter up.
    那時候Mido還很小。
    Mido was quite small at that time.

    我還記得他工作室裡面有一面舊磚牆。
    I remember there is a wall in his studio.

    它上面有畫滿了獨腳仙。
    There are lots of One-Legged Dave on it.

    I like this, but I don't know who One-Legged Dave is. Personally, I have two legs... :)

    Hello!!! I need help with these little sentences.😃

    1# Hey, why <s>will you</s> are you leaving so early today?
    Because I have to look after my little <s>brotler</s> brother today.
    2# Liz, will you go to the movie <s>theather</s> theater (American English) or theatre (British English) this weekend<s>s</s>?
    No, I won't - my parents cut off my allowance and I am broke<s>n</s>. 'Broke' is an informal way to describe the state of having no money. 'Broken' means to be in pieces after having been hit, i.e. the plate fell from his hand and lay, broken, on the kitchen floor.
    3# I have never complained about doing <s>to do</s> the dishes.
    Yep, but now you are making up for it.

    Hope this helps

    Thank you for reading.
    Best wishes.

    Exposure

    This is the nineteenth day.
    For a language learner, exposure to the foreign environment is an integral part of learning. However, it doesn't mean that we must go abroad just in order to gain opportunities to communicate with foreigners. In this Internet-immersed age, reading and listening to raw foreign material provides us with a practical and efficient approach to be exposed to the foreign environment.
    So, let's read and listen to more foreign books, magazines and other useful material.
    I am grateful to everyone, especially to my family, friends and teachers.
    Good night.

    Today I attended* a lecture about journalism: "How to raise questions critically".
    The professor - who was from America - was very nice and kindful**. Although there were only a few numbers of students sitting scattered in the classroom, he was still focused and concentrated on what he wanted to say. The only drawback was that he spoke too fast, so I found it a little hard to comprehend the whole content.
    He posited that as a professional journalist, it's absolutely necessary to have a detailed preparation about the people you want to interview, including their background*** and career experience. I think it's a suitable way to tell some specific**** stories to your readers. What's more, it could also help the conversation between you and your interviewee to be more effective and connected. Then he mentioned the importance of outlines. A competent***** outline should be prioritized in your preparation. After all, if your interview is pointless and unworthy, everything in your report would lose its sense.

    *Generally speaking, if you are talking or writing about something that happened in the past, you should use the past tense. I notice that later in this piece, you switch to past tense. I'd stick with past tense all the way through, to be honest.
    **I think you might have combined a couple of words here: 'kind' and 'helpful'. You can be kind and/or helpful, but you can't be kindful, because it doesn't exist as a word :)
    *** 'background' in this context is uncountable.
    **** I'm not sure why you've got 'some specific' here.
    ***** 'Competent' might be a bit weak here - in this context it means 'acceptable, satisfactory, but not outstanding.'
    Hope this helps.

    Culture

    Hi Everyone!
    Lately, I've listened to a lot of people talking about intercultural environments, multicultural companies, etc. I was wondering if our cities, companies or environment were monocultural before? I feel talking about culture is regarded as snobbish but I'm not sure if the people understand the meaning of culture.
    According to Clifford Geertz, culture is a group of people who share an idea and this idea is accepted to act in different circumstances.*
    So, before listening to these words everywhere** we lived in societies of groups: families, groups of workers, religions, ethnic groups, politicians, etc. with the same ideas about something***, all of these formed our multicultural societies and between them was an intercultural relationship.

    I feel good when the companies -for example- invite us to participate in their multicultural environments, with people from a lot of countries but I know our intercultural intelligence has been developed over time in our personal history****.

    *You might want to rethink this clause: Geertz defined culture as "a system of inherited conceptions expressed in symbolic forms by means of which men communicate, perpetuate, and develop their knowledge about and attitudes toward life." It would be helpful to the reader to expand on what you have written. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by 'this idea is accepted to act in different circumstances.'

    ** I'm not sure what words you're writing about here.

    *** Something? To what thing are you referring?

    **** What do you mean by 'in our personal history?'
