Hi Maria! Hope this helps :)
The new school whether it's right or wrong.
Today is the day when I say goodbye to the parent's committee at my elder doughter's school. It's really stressful to change schools but my child has made a desision to find her own professional way and passed an entry exams to become another school's pupil. It's very important to find someone who has the same points of view in life and she will be lucky to make some new friends. Tomorrow we are going to get to know her new teacher and class mates. My eldest girls has a very interesting hobby; she adores reading. She can spend all day long reading classics, modern prose and more. Who knows, maybe she can become an author one day.0 votedAugust 29, 20170Hi Yuuichi! Hope this helps :)
My Life As A Writer 2 (Souseki Natume)
Some of my other income comes from my writings. I wrote fifteen or sixteen books and receive royalties on the books. You may want to ask me what rate I get. the royalty on the books It does seem to be a little higher than what other authors receive. Though publishers may be embarrassed that I mention this.
The book that sold the most copies is 「I am a cat」 . Both the normal size and reduced version of this book went through thirty five editions in total. The number of copies is two thousands copies of first version and one thousand after that. Only the first volume of the book had thirty five editions and the middle and the last volume didn't have as many. My royalty income doesn't amount to much.0 votedAugust 29, 20171I love your entry David! It's written really well with only a few mistakes. You've used some impressive, complex structures :D I like your attitude and I'm sure you'll get far if you keep it! All the best in learning a new language :-)
My first composition on italki
It's my first day to be here, checking out so many wonderful functions designed for language learners.
As a native speaker of Mandarin, it's been such a tough start for me willing to master a whole new language.
Though I've been in learning English for years, I still struggle with my speaking & listening.
Even deciding what is wrong and right (grammar wise) is quite hard for me.
It all depends so much on a language circumstances. That is why, I need your help so much, and so I can do the same for you.
Having gone through a few articles and comments here, I found all of you are just so enthusiastic about helping others.
I feel that I'm in a paradise for us learners.
Please tell me what I wrote wrong or just not native/natural. Thank u so much!

Diary♡♡ August 28th
Today I got up around 8 am. I changed my clothes, had a glass of iced coffee, washed my face and teeth and went to a dentist to get my teeth checked. I had my wisdom tooth extracted about 2 weeks ago. I've been feeling some pain in the affected area, but it's finally gone! The dentist told me that I didn't need to come anymore. I'm relieved to hear that.
Later, I got home and chatted with one of my language partners on Skype. I can't speak English very well and he can't speak Japanese either. It was a little difficult for us to make a conversation. Nevertheless, I always enjoy talking to him.
As usual, I practiced English with my online English teachers and then went out with my family. Today is my little sister's birthday! We went to a good Italian restaurant and had a great time. I hope my sister will always be happy.0 votedAugust 29, 20171Hi Alberto! Hope this helps :)
What can young people do to help protect and improve their local environment?
Nowadays, many young people don´t realise that they are damaging their local environment because of their preferences that can be harmful to it.
Although more people recycle than 20 years ago, it isn´t enough, especially seeing as young people recycle a lot less than older people do. First it is because it is much easier not to recycle. Secondly, because they haven´t been educated about recycling.
On the other hand, the amount of cars is increasing and this is a problem because we are contaminating the environment. A possible solution would be to go to work or school on foot, use a bike or at the very least take a form of public transport.
It is very likely that once you get used to going to work on foot, you will grow to like it and start cycling or even practice a sport. This way, we can protect and improve the environment.
From my point of view, both older and young people should work together to cut down pollution so they can enjoy this world for many more years to come.0 votedAugust 29, 20171- In my opinion of a non native that moved abroad very early in life, it is definitely the first one. Movies are an actual representation of real life, whereas educational videos are slowed down for a non native speaker. If you're going to an English speaking country I would advise you to brace yourself, because it's going to be like in a movie ;)0 votedAugust 22, 20170
- Hi Rizgar! Reading short stories and listening to podcasts or the radio in the target language can be very good for someone who already has got a basic understanding of it. However, it's always best to have a teacher or study with someone when starting from the beginning. Otherwise, look for online tests and exercises that provide answers, so you can practice!0 votedJuly 20, 20170
Hi Calla!
Very good job here. I corrected a little bit to make it sound more natural. Hope you like it!
'There are still many control measures to reach the goal for the government other than imposing additional taxes. From my perspective, promoting relevant slogans via media channels and broadcasts can be a reminder for most people. Secondly, providing educational lectures in remote villages and local communities can raise awareness about life quality and the need to control the number of children in a family. Moreover, through establishing and further developing related courses in school, adolescents can expand their knowledge about health and recognise their own behavioural patterns. Lastly, improvement can come from medical systems when individuals consult with doctors and build a close connection with local medical centres or clinics, that can instil accurate understanding about the family institution in their minds.
In conclusion, I believe that there are many other measures to achieve the same goal for government. Therefore, I largely agree that the government should not control the number of children by taxes instead of using other appropriate means that I suggested.'0 votedJuly 20, 20172
