    StoryTeller - Part 1

    I'm not Forest Gump, but I did go through a lot things.

    I remember when I visited the São João del Rey city in Minas Gerais, in 1992. I got the lost between Belo Horizonte and São João del Rey and I stopped at a fuel station to ask for directions. The sympathetic sir, chewing tobacco, answered me with "go over there", indicating the path with his hands. I thanked him and asked another question.
    "How long is it?"
    He said, "Just around the corner."
    However, I was 120 km away from the city.


    Let me offer you a word of advice. When you ask for a distance from a native of Minas Gerais, look at your libs. However far ahead they are, further they will be.

    **Okay, so I edited this without including correctional marks to make it easier to read. Your English is pretty good but there are a few things I changed. For one, we don't say "to make a question" we say "to ask a question". I also fixed where you had the wrong point of view and said "your" instead of "his". Unless you were trying to talk to the fuel station attendant, you would say "his hands" rather than "your hands". The one piece of highlighting is because I have no idea what you mean. What is a libs?
    Feel free to ask me if you have any questions. I hope my explanation was not too hard to read!

    A kitty on the road

    I saw a kitty by the road on Sunday.
    The kitty was very cute, but I felt sorry for it.
    Lately, most people have been throwing away their pets.
    Because of this, the pets starved and ate garbage.*
    Afterwards, they got diseases.
    I'm so mad with their situations.**
    And I don't understand people's behavior.
    I think that raise to pet is the same as taking care of a baby.
    We must not raise pets if we're just going to leave them alone.
    I want to take care of the pets on the road, but I'm very busy.
    Thus, they will be left alone again.
    I want to do something for the pets on the road, but I can't find the best solution.
    What should I do for them?


    Notes:

     *Be careful using long words. English can be tricky this way as "therefore" had the right meaning but the wrong feeling... it wasn't exactly right, though it was very close.

     **Technically correct but "Their situation makes me so mad" would flow better.

    ***There are two ways to write "care". You can write "to take care of" or "taking care of" OR you can write "to care for" or "caring for". So... to take care of a baby, taking care of a baby, to care for a baby, caring for a baby. Most of the time any of those options will work, you just need to remember the grammar and make sure you include whatever "to", "-ing", "of", "for", etc is necessary. I apologize for how tricky English can be... :/

    What Will Be Our Choices?

    Today I read an article that made me spend lots of time considering its meanings, so I decided to write a journal entry to express some of my feelings. 
    The author talked about her dogs. She wrote that she had owned many well-behaved dogs, but one dog was an exception. That special dog didn't try to be liked by his master and never wanted to be focused on, even a little. He always acted with an indifferent attitude to everything, making the writer feel down and confused. Unfortunately, the writer didn't have a chance to take care of this dog more, and the dog was sent to the writer's friend.
    The author then asked a question: if we act tactfully to accommodate the rules of real life, will we avoid more obstacles? What will our choices be? 
    I think the answer has already revealed itself while I have been writing this journal. I will borrow an actor's line to end my diary: "Welcome to the real world, though it sucks, you'll like it." So though the world sucks, I still like it as it is and do my own forever.

    **Everything I added has been highlighted in yellow. The bits I removed have been deleted to make it less confusing to read, I didn't have enough space to show both copies. The blue highlighting at the end is because I didn't understand your meaning. You need to make that part clearer. Let me know if you have any questions! I ran out of space to explain. :(

    JIDAIGEKI

    I've never seen a "JIDAIGEKI" (Japanese historical play) in English before.
    For example, "The Seven Samurai", "The Hidden Fortress" and "Zatouichi".
    I have had an interest in it recently.
    I want to make a performance based on "JIDAIGEKI" .
    I think that the performance may appeal to foreign tourists. They will have fun.


    *I hope that seeing it without all the correctional markings will help! Let me know if you have any questions.

    Notes:

    Explanations can be put in parentheses (these are parentheses).

    Appeal is a good vocabulary word if you want to say that you think someone will like something. You can also try putting what you want to say into smaller sentences. That will make them less confusing.

    Daylight Saving Time

    In Brazil, we have the daylight savings time in which the time goes forward by one hour. I particularly love daylight savings time, because when I go back get home from my work, the day is still clear, and this gives me a good sensation the feeling of still having a long day ahead of me. There is sun at the beach, people are exercising. The life continues happening, full steam ahead. But, what a pity! The daylight savings time was over for past weeks ago.


    Without all the correctional marks:
