    Not really sure, i'm a native speaker and i'm also confused. It would make more sense if B spoke first, and then A. meaning B doubt it would work, then A showed it worked.

    I would think 'Lunch and Crunch' is eating and working out, or working (job) afterwards. which represent the urban life that the context gave.

And he hasn't gotten venom and that's important. But it's very difficult from a distance to tell a python from a.. uhmm..you might have to cut it (the camera), he's biting my neck. Im serious..."

    "that would sustain us through the winter" means to help feed them throughout winter. Like, they would be able to sustain themselves from starvation. "soil that had been left to its own devices throughout millennia." 'left to its own devices' means it (the soil) has been on its own throughout the ages, its been through rain, storms, sun, etc. Hope that helps!

    Saturday Morning Program

    my daughter and I went to a park today in the morning, one that we hadn't been before.
    It was very large and there were a lot of people there having picnic, playing with their kids, and playing soccer.
    There were some big ancient uninhabited big houses there, I think it used to be a farm.
    There were some dirt tracks beneath the trees and around a lake, and people were walking and running there.
    We brought her bicycle and skateboard in the car but she didn't feel like playing with them.
    It was very windy and I felt cold because I was wearing only shorts and a T shirt only.
    We had to leave earlier than we would like because we were feeling hungry and there were no nice place to eat there.
    Next time we'll carry a backpack full of snacks and water.


    Hope that helps! Let me know if you have questions.

    How biased is the current streaming media?

    It's been roughly a year since the presidential elections in my country took place. It was a tough campaign, full of conflicts, scandals, and dreadful rumors about politicians. Despite all these disturbing moments, I kept thinking about the role of the streaming media which was, so to speak, decisive for the elections. It's not a secret that people are mostly influenced by the news outlets, meaning that people consider the streaming media as a trusted means to keep abreast of the local news. Said that, it's vital that the media keeps being as much about objective as it is the reality when reporting the news because people are very sensitive to what is going on out there. Otherwise, people would be hasty in their judgments, and their reaction could be counterproductive for the society. For example, if the media irresponsibly spread an alarm concerning a mortal disease, it could cause panic among people and a disaster could happen.

    On the other hand, it's not a secret that the media is liable to political leaning. This is especially the case of the US, for example, where the major networks slant their opinions to a certain political preference. CNN reports are blatantly slanted to the left (democrats or liberals) while Fox News interviews are slanted to the right (conservatives). It's curious that the former media is still quibbling about Trump even though the presidential campaign finished long time ago. What's more, it's rather difficult to find a media that is completely unbiased, but on the whole it  that depends on what people think about the media in regards to trustworthiness. So, in this sense, people tend to believe, according to a poll, that the most trusted news outlet is actually BBC, which I completely agree with. I mean, when you watch BBC news you can sense this lack of political leaning, unlike the media of other countries which is very much often annoying.

    My country is not exempt from this issue. Well, it's actually more blatant, the media spreads without any consideration to the rumors that can destroy people's reputation. In fact, there have been many cases in which the media has been hostile to certain politicians, especially former presidents,  and using the freedom of speech as justification for its work. So, this is the big issue, confusing the freedom of speech with the right to slander. I think we all have the right to maintain a good reputation, to which, for the media, seems to be oblivious.


    Hope that helped. Some fixes were not errors but better ways to say things. Your essay was very thought out and insightful. I think it's also ironic that your essay was also a little biased towards framing the medias as the bad guys (i might agree haha). If you're writing professionally, try to take yourself out of the essay. Take the 'I,' 'you,' and 'i think' out of it. Instead, use words like 'one must.." "people," "the population." Also avoid generalizing an entire group of people, and instead, say "some.." or "many...". Comments like "cnn is democrat and fox is conservative" may be true, but are hard assertions and should be backed up with some data. Comments like "very much annoying" are purely opinionated and should be avoided. Again, i might agree with you, but these are tips if you want to be taken seriously in the professional world. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

    Please help me to check them. Paraphrasing is my important problems =(

    1. Sloppy people carry in their mind’s eye a heavenly vision, a precise plan that is so stupendous, so perfect, it can’t be achieved in this world or the next.
    --> Sloppy people imagine a fantastic visions; an accurate, fabulous, and perfect plan that can’t be reached in this world or the next
    2. Sloppy people can’t bear to part with anything. They give loving attention to every detail. When sloppy people say they’re going to tackle the surface of a desk, they really mean it.
    --> Sloppy people can’t stand separating with anything leaving anything behind and love paying attention to every detail. When sloppy people say they’re going to work on something, they really mean it.
    3. Neat people are bums and clods at heart. They have cavalier attitudes toward possession, including family heirlooms. Everything is just another dust catcher to them. If anything collects dust, it’s got to go and that’s that. Neat people will toy with the idea of throwing the children out of the house just to cut down on the clutter.
    --> Neat people are very neat homely and simple, and have abandon views about necessity property, including family heritage. To them, everything is just another dirt catcher. and if it gets dusty, it goes. they will play with the idea of letting the children out of the house just to clean the mess.


    hope that helps, not all were mistakes but better ways to say things (in my opinion.). Let me know if you have any questions.

    About my job

    I've been working for almost 5 years as an operator, supporting customers mainly by email, secondly phone, and occasionally messenger like Skype.
    I work in the 3 kinds of shifts, starting from morning, afternoon and evening. since we support our customers not only from Japan but also all over the world and are are supposed to operate for 365 days and 24 hours.  24/7.

    Originally, I hated working in the shift and never thought about I would get a job like this because I like living in a regular time and know it's better for my health.
    Then, why did I choose my current job?
    It was because I can use English at work!
    I thought using English though working could be great help  way for me to improve my all English skills.
    Before the job, I had hardly had a chance to use English in a daily life and only a few chances when traveling abroad.

    Now, I know my idea was not so bad but also not so perfect.
    I feel my English writing is getting better but still not better than what I had expected, and speaking is the same as before.
    I have more chances to write in English than speak at my work.
    I translate from English into Japanese to escalate inquiries from our foreign customers for our upper division and do the opposite to answer them, but seldom make phone calls or receive calls in English (maybe once or a few times a month).

    Better than nothing!
    I won't give up!
    I realized that work is work, but it doesn't mean that there's no other way to improve my English.
    I have only to find a different way.
    So I started to take online lessons and to write my notebooks in this site.

    I have a plan to learn Chinese as well and will start adding notebooks here soon, my Chinese is completely introductory though.

    Thank you for reading.


    Hope that helps! Let me know if you have questions. not all fixes are mistakes, some are just better ways to say things.

    News Translation

    The Pentagon has announced that two Chinese fighters got very close to an US patrol plane flying above the South China Sea. They are going to ask China again on China for preventive measures because a similar issue that happened above the East China Sea last week.
