Hello! My name is Madison and I am a student in America! I am looking for native or fluent speakers of German - primarily those who can speak semi-fluent English. Other things about me: I love music, film, video games, sushi, foreign culture, and travel. I volunteer at the local animal shelter on the weekends. I also play piano and sing, and I enjoy meeting new people from around the world.

    I agree with the other users, but I do think there is something especially heartwarming about Asian-Western pairings. Maybe they don't often work out, but that says something about the ones that do.

    You have two options: Improving Yourselves Through Interactive Elite Training Improving Yourselves through Interactive Elite Training The first and last words, pronouns, and adjectives must be capitalized. That leaves us with 'through', a preposition. According to older traditions, it's optional to capitalize it. Newer rules stress capitalizing prepositions with five letters or more. Both look perfectly fine to me, so it's really about whether you prefer the older style or the newer style. Here's a website detailing the rules: http://grammartips.homestead.com/caps.html Hope this helps! :)

    "It is also a good idea to improve my communication skills. And in this way, I can make more friends, which is beneficial for my future development." It's all grammatically correct, but it sounds a little odd. I would replace 'And in this way' with 'In doing so'. Otherwise, beneficial for my/our future development is correct. NOTE: If you want that the benefit is for you instead of your DEVELOPMENT, you would replace FOR with TO. So, 'it is beneficial TO me/us. So you use FOR when it's a noun and TO when it's a pronoun. Hope this helps! :)

    These are tricky because they're sort of odd sentences. - I had decided it since I was in my mother's womb. Since I'm assuming this is more figurative than literal, I might say, 'I have been decided about it since I was in my mother's womb' or 'I have felt this way about it since I was born' or 'I have felt this way about it for as long as I can remember.' Just a few suggestions to emphasize the longevity of your opinion, which I am thinking is your main point. - As addition I also did it even in my dreams, I didn't eat those type of foods. I wouldn't use 'In addition' with 'also,' you only need one. However, both sound a little odd with the use 'even', so I'll omit them for now. I would put even before the verb, it sounds more natural that way. I don't have much context, but putting those clauses together sounds weird because they sound very random. I'm putting 'although' to indicate that you were dreaming about eating some sort of food even though you don't eat it when you're awake. Typically also enhances the idea that this is not the norm. You can say that type of food or those types of foods, but you have to make sure there is singular or plural agreement throughout. SO, here's the finished product: 'I even did it in my dreams, although I typically didn't eat those types of foods.' This is a bit long, but I hope it's understandable and it helps! :)

    I was a student when I was young. Now I am a teacher. I went to the USA last year. We ran five thousand meters yesterday. He visited HIS father in Tapei yesterday. (Make sure you specify whose father he's visiting. We like our possessive adjectives in English.) He likes to play basketball. He was very weak last year. He works hard everyday. IT WAS RAINING when he went to school yesterday. I WAS reading THE newspaper when the train stopped. He was a Catholic when he was a child. I liked to swim when I was young. Now, I don’t because I am too old. Make sure you remember capitalization and punctuation. Other than that, you only missed a couple. Go over past progressive tense. Excellent job! :)

    1. *They were driving when I went to see them yesterday. 2. *It rains here very often in Taipei. 3. *He gave his book to his brother last month. 4. *He goes to work every morning. 5. *He likes to tell stories. 6. *I like to go to church. 7. *The sun set now. (I would say 'The sun is setting.' OR 'The sun set just now.', depending on if it's a past action or a present progressive action) 8. *They are playing the piano now. 9. *I love you. 10. *He was a good student before. 11. *He went to the church last Sunday. 12. *It rained last night. 13. *I was playing when you called. 14. *It was raining when I drove to work last night. 15. *He does not know me. 16. *I was swimming when my mother came. 17. *They are singing now. 18. *He does not like to swim. 19. *He always wears a black coat. 20. *He is watching TV now. I only found an error with number 7. Other than that, this is perfect! Well done!

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    I want to improve my English because it's an international language and I should know this language it properly. It's my attempt objective to learn English through practice this language.
    Other thing Another reason I want to learn English is that I want to study abroad, but it would be a fool's dream if I do not know how to speak or write English.

     

    Make sure you watch your punctuation and capitalize your I's.

    In Meeting

    I am working in a Japanese company. In the eyes of most of people, they think Japanese companies appear too strict and they often make their employees work over-time. But my company is different; our boss wants to lead us to become a global group, so we are encouraged to speak in English. Also, not having to work overtime is part of our corporate culture. We are always requested to think from the customer's perspective to make sure we provide quality products. Although sometimes we have to work to hard, it is necessary in order to make eveything is under control, such as the quality of our products, on-time shipments in the warehouse, and correct size break down. But this is really why I respect our company, and feel proud in such a company.
    In addition, our company is also famous of our good customer service. It is helping to bring a higher customer service standard to China.

     

    Not many grammatical mistakes, just be sure to watch your spelling.

     

    Nice job! I hope I get to work at a company as wonderful as yours someday! :)
